Economic Trends, Global Trade, Labor and What’s Ahead
Pandemic-related realities and the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war continue to impact the U.S. and global economy, while complexities with China add new risks. Combined with the energy revolution, shifting demographics, and challenges with the USMCA and Europe, these issues are shaping our future. What does this mean to you? This invaluable program analyzes economic trends, examines trading relationships, reveals Chinese dangers, and explores critical issues involving labor, skills, automation, and immigration. Additionally, it offers survival strategies and provides insight on what’s ahead.
American Realities, Critical Risks and Survival Strategies
The key to American free-market capitalism lies in our ability to innovate new products and services and deliver them worldwide. This requires pro-globalization policies, an educated labor force, and an environment that incentivizes entrepreneurs to take risks that create new companies, technologies, and jobs. However, critical risks stand in the way. (1) New technologies and globalization have tremendously improved our standard of living, but many have been left behind that support far left and right populists who may ultimately threaten capitalism. (2) Unless addressed, shifting demographics will translate into fewer consumers and worsening labor shortages. And (3) the pandemic, Russian war, and Chinese tensions have forced companies to continually assess risks that impact supply chains and globalization. This stimulating and insightful program explores these issues, analyzes economic trends, delves into labor and Chinese challenges, and provides strategies to prepare for what’s ahead.
Economic Trends, Globalization and the Need to Improve American Capitalism
Rising protectionism, populism and inequality, along with economic trends and Covid-19, are having a profound impact on the United States, globalization and American capitalism. Plus, skills deficits, immigration issues, and tensions with China are severely affecting industry. In addition, advances in automation and digitalization, and the need for lifelong learning are adding greater complexity. This thought-provoking program peers into the chain reactions of what’s unfolding, reveals the myths and realities of globalization, and examines the need to improve American capitalism so we don’t lose it.
International Trade, New Realities and Ripple Effects
Tensions with China and rising global protectionism are forcing companies to reassess trading relationships, investments, site selection decisions, back shoring options, and supply chain operations. Plus, issues causing friction and heightened levels of volatility are adding new risks. This engaging program analyzes the positions of President Joe Biden with a focus on international trade, China, USMCA, and Europe, provides insight on China’s strengths, weaknesses, and practices, reveals connections between rising populism, automation, and globalization, and offers strategies to better navigate the dangers ahead.

“John Manzella’s keynote address at the United States Meat Export Federation’s Fall conference was fantastic. He provided in-depth analysis of international trade outcomes and prospects facing the U.S., examined today’s workforce issues and challenges, and offered enlightening survival strategies. These and other complex topics were delivered in a manner that was easy to follow and understand. And as a bonus, I had the opportunity to visit one-on-one with him at the post-event social gathering. I hope to hear him speak again soon.”
“John’s thoughtful, well-reasoned presentation helped our members see events and issues from new perspectives, giving us insights that will help us be more competitive in a rapidly changing world.”
“I attended the WWEMA 113th annual meeting where John Manzella was the keynote speaker. He captured the audience with his knowledge and in-depth analysis of economic trends, labor, China, and globalization vs. localization of supply chains, plus many other topics including the impact of free trade agreements. The audience was very engaged which gave rise to a great discussion. I am looking forward to the next presentation from John.”
“I cannot say enough about each experience I have had with John. Not only is he an incredible speaker, but a true authority and subject matter expert. He delivered an incredible presentation at our flagship conference that had people talking and buzzing for weeks after. When he was generous enough to lend his time as a guest on my podcast, he blew me away with his expertise, quick wit, and articulation of complicated topics in a digestible way. I look forward to any opportunity to work with John in the future, as I know that I will come away knowing more than I did before.”
“John delivered a terrific keynote presentation and interactive Q&A session at our 47th Washington Forum. Based on audience responses, he was our number one speaker! John discussed many diverse issues, including trade, labor, immigration, and economics, explained how they are connected, and provided the big-picture impact. It was very informative, interesting, and engaging! John made so many great points that I wish he was on Sunday morning talk shows to discuss our need for smart immigration policy, new trade agreements, and the realities in China and Europe. It was outstanding!”
