A New Global Consensus



Reeling from a devastating crisis, questioning the economic assumptions of a generation, the international community gathers to address the challenges of the day and ends up forging a new global economic framework.



1944: The Bretton Woods Conference, at which policymakers defined the post–World War II order of fixed exchange rates and international economic relations.



2021: The June 11–13 G7 summit in Cornwall, where the Group of Seven countries could create a new economic order for a post-COVID world. 



We’re in a Bretton Woods moment, explains Roosevelt President & CEO Felicia Wong <[link removed]>—who serves as the US representative on the G7 Economic Resilience Panel <[link removed]>.



“The Cornwall summit comes at a time that’s likely to define a generation of policymaking,” she writes. “Without international consensus on a new worldview and rules framework, we won’t be able to tackle the existential, intertwining crises facing our planet.”

The Latest Jobs Numbers, in Perspective



Ahead of today’s jobs report <[link removed]>, Roosevelt’s Mike Konczal and J.W. Mason had a gentle reminder for reporters and analysts: “The trend is our friend.”



As they argue on the blog <[link removed]>, zooming out from the monthly jobs numbers shows a heartening trajectory—but one that policymakers could imperil with rash action. “The big picture over the past year is a rapid recovery of employment as pandemic-related restrictions have been lifted,” they write.



“The biggest danger right now is not a month or two of surprisingly low (or high, for that matter) employment growth, but a panicked overreaction that pulls away support for the recovery—by, for instance, cutting unemployment benefits—before it is fully underway.”



Read on for their three tips for interpreting the jobs numbers <[link removed]>.
