Transcript of the event
The Washington Consensus , which focused on structural adjustment and growth, has dominated economic policy change for over a decade worldwide. But times have changed. A new consensus has emerged that assigns high priority to reducing poverty and improving equity. This report sets out economic policies—10 domestic and one international—that would transform this consensus into political reality in Latin America.
Washington Contentious: Economic Policies for Social Equity in Latin America spells out the findings of the Commission on Economic Reform in Unequal Latin American Societies sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Inter-American Dialogue

The future trajectory of the U.S.-Iran war remains uncertain, but its impact on global energy trade flows and ties will be far-reaching. Moscow is likely to become a key beneficiary of these changes; the crisis in the Gulf also strengthens Russia’s hand in its relationships with China and India, where advantages might prove more durable.
