Economic Expert Martin Wolf Kicks off New Carnegie Council Series, "America in the 21st Century--Views from around the World"
NEW YORK, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Now more than ever, as the campaign for the U.S. presidency heats up, the eyes of the world are on the United States. How do other nationalities envision America's role in the world? How do they see America's future in the 21st century?
Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is pleased to announce a lecture series that explores these questions.
Organized by the Council's well-known Public Affairs Program, the series debuts with Martin Wolf, London-based "Financial Times" editor and commentator. As one of the world's foremost experts on economics, Mr. Wolf is uniquely positioned to offer insights on the changing nature of the global economy and how Europe, struggling with serious problems of its own, fits into the equation. What are some ways that America and Europe can work together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century?
Martin Wolf's talk is on Thursday, May 10, at 8:00 AM ET at Carnegie Council's Manhattan headquarters. Space is limited and RSVPs are required. To register, go to: www.carnegiecouncil.org/calendar/data/0358.html. Or call 212-838-4120.
