Summers and Eurasia Start the New Year With Dire Global Warnings

The Harvard professor, a Democrat who was Treasury chief under Bill Clinton, on Tuesday cited the possibility of protectionist measures by the U.S. as well as changes to foreign policy and domestic social programs as issues that are creating “extraordinary uncertainty.”
