Osher's Summer Lecture Series explores the changes that must take place to enable China and the United States to conduct themselves in a manner that will ensure mutually beneficial competition and avoid conflict? We'll address these questions by inviting recognized experts and officials from the United States, China, and Canada to examine the conflicts and suggest a way forward.

Marc Chandler, a widely respected and quoted currency expert, has been analyzing and advising on global capital markets for more than 30 years. As a keen observer of the interconnection of international politics and economics, Marc appears frequently in the financial press. His essays have been published in Foreign Affairs, Barron’s, The Financial Times, The Washington Post, and the Nation. He taught for 20 years at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs and has lectured at many schools, including the University of Virginia, Fordham, and Colombia University.

He is the author of the books Making Sense of the Dollar and Political Economy of Tomorrow. The first won a Bronze Award from Independent Publishers and focuses on the foreign exchange market and the role of the dollar. The second is partly a retelling of the King Midas myth, seeing the greatest weakness of capitalism emanating from its greater strength: generating surpluses that are choking it, figuratively and literally. Throughout his career on Wall Street, Chandler has advised private businesses, hedge funds, and asset managers on navigating the foreign exchange market, and in 2018 he joined Bannockburn Global Forex as Managing Director and Chief Market Strategist in their New York City office.

Jennifer Lind is an Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College and the author of Sorry States: Apologies in International Politics.

Lind is also a Faculty Associate at the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University. She has written articles for Foreign Affairs and has discussed the deterioration of U.S.-China relations, including trade sanctions and military pressure.

This session will be moderated by Shehzad Qazi, Chief Operating Officer, China Beige Book.
