Decade Déjà Vu: Are the 2020s the New 1920s?

Technological revolutions, a reset in supply chains and soaring stock markets, these are not just characteristics of today's economy. In the 1920s, electrification, the automobile and assembly lines changed the economic landscape.  

What parallels exist between this decade and the 1920s and what could we learn from them for the future of the global economy?

Andrew R. Sorkin, Editor-at-Large; Columnist, New York Times

Laurence D. Fink, Chair and CEO, BlackRock; Co-Chair, World Economic Forum, BlackRock

Christine Lagarde, President, European Central Bank
