The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism presents Peter S. Goodman, Global Economics Correspondent, The New York Times:
“Is Globalization Ending? (No, but it’s changing).”
Peter S. Goodman is currently producing a series on the new rules of the global economy, drawing on reporting from Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. Previously, as the NYT’s national economics correspondent, he played a leading role in the paper’s award-winning coverage of the Great Recession, contributing a series that was a Pulitzer finalist. Earlier, he had covered the Internet bubble and bust as the Washington Post’s telecommunications reporter and had served as WaPo’s China-based Asian economics correspondent. Goodman is the author of two books — Past Due: The End of Easy Money and the Renewal of the American Economy (Times Books, 2009), which explores the roots of the Great Recession and the crisis for ordinary people, and the best-selling Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World (HarperCollins, 2022) which blames widening economic inequality for the deepening strains of democratic governance. His next book, How the World Ran Out of Everything, examining the Great Supply Chain Disruption and the future of globalization, will be published in 2024. Goodman graduated from Reed College and completed a master’s in Vietnamese history from the University of California, Berkeley.
