Global Demographics: Impact, Importance, and Implications

Amlan Roy
Director, Global Demographics & Pensions Research
Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited

This Time Is NOT Different: Human Nature and Decision Making

Kostas Iordanidis
Member of the Board of Directors
Fortelus Capital 

·       How does uncertainty influence belief formation and decision making?

·       Why are global imbalances and financial crises recurring phenomena?

·       Is it possible to learn from history?

 

Global Imbalances Aren’t the Problem — An Unstable Dollar Is

John Tamny
Senior Economist
H.C. Wainwright Economics
Editor − RealClearMarkets

·       Why the nature of trading means imbalances really cannot exist between countries

·       How a weak U.S. dollar has driven a run on paper currencies the world over and caused limited capital to flow into hard, easily taxable investments versus the knowledge-based growth economy

·       Why a stable U.S. dollar, not regulated trade flows, is the real way to correct imbalances and enable wealth-enhancing exchange globally
