Press Release

International economic historian Niall Ferguson, the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard, takes a look at the elephant in the room of the global economy:  China.  How is China's economic emergence reshaping traditional Western economic expectations?  What impact is China having on manufacturing, trade, monetary policy, and standards of living?  Ferguson explores these questions with Harvard economist Richard Cooper at Cambridge Forum on Wednesday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m.  The free program takes place in the meetinghouse at First Parish in Cambridge (corner of Church Street and Massachusetts Avenue)in Harvard Square. Accessible by the Red Line. 

Niall Ferguson's best-selling history of the rise and fall of the British Empire (Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power) became a classic of post 9/11 discourse on the nature of the American imperial project.  He followed that book with The War of the World, an acclaimed and strikingly original reinterpretation of the 20th century--the bloodiest century in human history.  Ferguson first wrote about the impact of China on the West in a 2006 New York Times Sunday Magazine article.
