The Global Economy: perspectives from the UK and Japan

This seminar will draw on previous discussions (bringing together many of those who have presented or participated earlier in the year) to reflect on the economic implications of global interdependence and the relationship between the economy and society.

As the deterioration in global economic and financial conditions takes its toll, reflections on the past and concerns about the future continue to dominate national and international headlines. The 2008 monthly seminar series, Economic Futures: Wealth and Well-Being in the UK and Japan, has viewed the state of the economy through the prism of the UK and Japan, addressing such topics as banking crises and consumer confidence, the role of capital cities as engines of wealth creation, and industrial innovation and change.

As the final event in the series, this seminar will draw on previous discussions (bringing together many of those who have presented or participated earlier in the year) to reflect on the economic implications of global interdependence and the relationship between the economy and society. In the aftermath of the Beijing Olympics and the run-up to the United States presidential election, we envisage a lively debate – involving both speakers and audience – on wealth and well-being in a global context.
