Peter S. Goodman at Camden Conference: Is Globalization Over?
Award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating inner-workings of our global supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant vulnerability. He takes audiences deep into this elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it, and the industries most vulnerable to its disruption. Goodman looks ahead to the factors that will alter the supply chain in the years ahead, from geopolitical realignments—and especially U.S.-China tensions—to climate change and technological innovation. He weaves a powerful argument for reform needed to make manufacturing and transportation systems more reliable and resilient.
Over the course of three decades in journalism and reporting from more than three dozen countries, Peter S. Goodman has covered some of the most momentous economic transformations and upheavals— including the global financial crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession, the emergence of China into a global superpower, the advent of the Web followed by the dot-com crash, the rise of right-wing populism in Europe including Brexit, and the global economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a five-year stint in London for the Times, he wrote about Brexit, the rise of right-wing populism in Europe, and the catastrophe of the coronavirus pandemic.
