Business School Public Lecture: Why the ‘Trump era’ could last for 30 years

In this public lecture, Robert H. Wade, professor of global political economy at LSE, will argue that the Trump presidency is a symptom of an emerging global syndrome of popular support for ‘strongman’ rule, fractured economic globalisation and a gridlock in global governance. Or in the spirit of The Economist: we are living in an anti-liberal revolution.

Professor Wade will examine the combination of two mega-causes of this anti-liberal revolution:

· The high levels of economic resentment in Western populations caused by the financial crises of 2007–12, high and rising income concentration and the rising numbers of easy scapegoats (immigrants).

· Increasing economic and geopolitical tensions between the US, China and Europe.

Robert H. Wade

Robert H. Wade is professor of global political economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The son of a New Zealand diplomat, Professor Wade was educated at Wellington College, University of Otago, Victoria University of Wellington, and the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex. He has worked at the Institute of Development Studies, the World Bank, Woodrow Wilson School (Princeton University), MIT Sloan School and Brown University. 

Professor Wade has conducted fieldwork in Pitcairn Island, Italy, India, Korea, Taiwan, Iceland, and inside the World Bank and IMF – always with the great Adam Smith question about “the wealth of nations” in mind. He is the author of several books, including Governing the Market: Economic Theory and the Role of Government in East Asia's Industrialization (1990, 2004), for which he won the American Political Science Association's Best Book in Political Economy Award in 1992.

Professor Wade was awarded the Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought in 2008.
