The Most Important Developments of 2023
Among the issues that defined 2023 were the US economy's "soft landing," the war of attrition in Ukraine, Hamas's terrorist attack and its fallout, explosive advances in AI, and the loss of two great American public servants.

STANFORD – The year 2023 will be remembered for many significant economic, political, and technological developments. But one of the most noteworthy is something that did not happen: a recession in the United States. While parts of Europe flirted with recession, and China stumbled after lifting its “zero-COVID” restrictions, the US labor market and American consumers proved quite resilient.
