On the Rise or in Decline? Evaluating Canadian and U.S. Power in the 21st Century

By August 20, 2010March 18th, 2020No Comments

On October 6 I will be discussing Canadian and U.S. power in the 21st century, along with Earl Fry of Brigham Young University, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC. Click here to RSVP.

Please join the Canada Institute for a discussion on what the future holds for Canada and the United States with renowned opinion leaders Early Fry of Brigham Young University and Brian Lee Crowley of the MacDonald-Laurier Institute. Fry will present the themes of his new book, Lament for America: Decline of the Superpower, Plan for Renewal, which argues that the United States’ mounting current account and government deficits, as well as an increasingly erratic currency, are key reasons why the world’s lone superpower is in decline. In contrast, Crowley, one of the authors of the recently published book, The Canadian Century: Moving Out of America’s Shadow, will argue that sound fiscal policy and economic reforms beginning in the 1980s have put Canada on a path to unprecedented prosperity that will enable the country to excel in the 21st century.
