ECON 18B Silicon Valley Leaders' Take on America's Economic Future

The academic debates about economic policy often miss the perspective of real word business leaders who are navigating a complex, global economy.  In this class, we will hear from technology leaders and CEOS from many prominent Silicon Valley companies.  They will offer their take on repatriation, immigration, trade issues, and tax reform.  We will explore whether there is a disconnect between Congress and Silicon Valley business leaders, and if so, how we can bridge that divide.
