The Albuquerque International Association hosts a public lecture by Dr. Barry Naughton, Professor of Economics, at UC-San Diego.
Synopsis: Over the past several years, China’s government has launched an unprecedented effort to steer its economy through a new technological revolution and create a vast new infrastructure network knitting together China and its Asian neighbors. Less widely noticed, China’s leaders are attempting to achieve this through an entirely new model of a “government-steered market economy.” China’s efforts create new sources of risk and have already led to intensified friction with the United States. Professor Naughton will describe and discuss what we know right now about the bigger picture, the likely balance of success and failure, and what is at stake.
