It is difficult to disagree with the assessment that debt is both a national and global problem. Nonetheless, deep disagreements exist about ways to solve it. Arguments about tax theory, tax fairness, and entitlement programs run squarely into concerns about the role, reach and cost of the federal government. And policymakers remain unable to reconcile wants and needs on a national scale. The Fourth Annual Mortimer Caplin Conference on the World Economy will bring together senior government officials along with the best thinkers from the academy and the private sector to discuss and debate a number of questions related to tax reform, deficit control and economic competitiveness in the international economy.
