From one of the world’s leading experts on economic recessions, the real explanation for why recessions start, how long they last, and how to avoid them in the first place. Armed with PhD’s in both economics and history and marshaling four centuries of history and data, Dr. Tyler Goodspeed upends everything we thought we knew about economic contractions. Authoritative yet accessible, Dr. Goodspeed’s insights into when and why economies shrink and what to do about it are essential for businesses, investors, and policymakers looking to better anticipate and navigate economic fluctuations.
For four years, Dr. Tyler Goodspeed was in the room where it happened as the Trump administration undertook historic tax reform, the biggest regulatory changes since the 1980s, the first US trade war since the 1930s, international negotiations on digital services taxes, and shifting global supply chains amidst policy and pandemic shocks. With unparalleled senior leadership experience and illustrative insights from both the White House and private sector, Dr. Goodspeed helps firms, investors, and policy organizations to anticipate changes as they navigate similar geoeconomic developments in Trump 2.0.
In an era marked by geopolitical fragmentation, supply chain disruptions, and debates over industrial policy, economist Dr. Tyler Goodspeed offers a long view on globalization’s evolution and resilience. Drawing on lessons from past eras of integration and retreat—from the 19th-century gold standard to the interwar breakdown and postwar reconstruction—Goodspeed examines how economies have historically managed the tensions between openness and security.
He connects these precedents to today’s challenges: shifting trade alignments, the rise of economic nationalism, the reshoring of critical industries, and the implications of new technologies for global interdependence. By situating contemporary concerns within a broader historical arc, Goodspeed argues that understanding how economies in the past balanced the benefits and vulnerabilities of global integration can inform better policy choices today—helping policymakers sustain growth and stability amid a changing world order.
Dr. Tyler Goodspeed is a renowned economist, accomplished policy advisor, and dynamic public speaker, specializing in geoeconomic trends, economic policy, and the intersection of economics, politics, and national security. With a career that spans academia, government, and the private sector, Dr. Goodspeed brings a wealth of knowledge to his speaking engagements, offering actionable insights on the forces shaping the modern economy.
Dr. Goodspeed’s distinguished career includes serving as Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers during the first Trump administration, playing a key role in designing and implementing economic policy during a period of unprecedented global upheaval. During his White House tenure, Goodspeed was an instrumental voice guiding the administration as it navigated historic tax and regulatory reform, trade negotiations and supply chain realignments, and a once-in-a-century pandemic. Elected by member country delegations, he also chaired the Economic Policy Committee at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), overseeing international economic policy coordination.
Before joining ExxonMobil as Chief Economist in 2023, Dr. Goodspeed was a Director and Chief Economist at Greenmantle, a New York and London-based macroeconomic and geopolitical consulting firm advising some of the world’s largest hedge funds, venture capital and private equity firms, asset managers, and corporations.
The author of four books, Dr. Goodspeed’s latest work is Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What to Do About It, a monumental history of four centuries of economic recessions in the US and UK that upends everything we thought we knew about recessions. The book has received critical acclaim from leading economists and policymakers across the political spectrum. In addition, Goodspeed has been a regular contributor to newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, National Review, and The Telegraph, as well as to media outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg, the BBC, and Fox Business, and has frequently testified before Congress.
Dr. Goodspeed holds a PhD in economics from Cambridge University and a PhD in history from Harvard University, as well as a BA in economics and history from Harvard, an MA in history from Harvard, and an MPhil in economic history from Cambridge. He has held faculty appointments at Oxford University, King’s College London, and Stanford University, and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute in London and a member of the Geoeconomic Council of Advisers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
