# A Conversation with Lawrence H. Summers 

As part of the Cato Institute’s [Defending Globalization project](https://www.cato.org/defending-globalization), Cato Vice President Scott Lincicome spoke with former US Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence H. Summers about the future of globalization and US international economic policy. In this video, Secretary Summers and Lincicome reflect on the successes and failures of the “Washington Consensus,” current threats to further global integration, and the role of US policy in shaping the future of the world economy.
