Economic nationalism has resurfaced in a global economy already weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. People and politicians try to look after those closest to them, hoarding medical equipment and withholding aid for poorer countries. But these policies are self-defeating. Over time, countries that try to decouple from the global economy will end up suffering more from lack of diversified sourcing and unavoidable local shocks.

Join Monica DeBolle, Sergei Guriev and Adam S. Posen in this webinar that will discuss the nationalism and populism aspects of Covid-19 and its impact on the world's economy.
