Tariffs, Turmoil, and Our Future

Feeling confused about what’s going on in Washington? Curious about what in the world is going on with tariffs and why the market nosedived? And then rose? And then nosedived again? Join us for a conversation with some of the world’s leading voices on the economic and policy shifts coming out of Washington.

Featuring:
Betsey Stevenson – Obama and Biden adviser, former member of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Chief Economist at the Department of Labor (and got a fantastic TikTok shoutout…)
Julian Davis Mortenson – Constitutional and presidential power scholar, clerk for Supreme Court Justice David Souter, and UN legal adviser
Ari Shwayder – Former US Senate economist and McKinsey consultant
Nirupama Rao – Former Sr. Economist, Council of Economic Advisers

This moment isn’t just about tariffs. It’s about power, markets, and the assumptions behind global institutions. We’ll break down what’s happening in Washington, why it matters, and what MBAs should take away from the chaos. Whether you’ve got thoughts or your MAP scope just expanded, bring your tough questions - there will be plenty of time for Q&A and real conversation.
