THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND ITS GLOBAL IMPACT
Professor Desmond King (Nuffield College, University of Oxford, UK)
Professor King’s lecture (which will take place just two days after the US presidential election) is drawn from Fed Power: How Finance Wins, (co-written with Lawrence Jacobs and published by Oxford University Press, 2016). The book contests the notion that the US Federal Reserve is an impartial referee. It argues that the Fed is instead an engine for producing concealed advantages for a privileged few. This has consequences for both the US and the global economy. These arguments and claims are important for all those interested in politics, political economy and the study of business.
Discussants: Eleni Tsingou and Martin Bæk Carstensen (Department of Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School).
