Submitted by amain on Tue, 01/04/2011 - 8:03pm
Panel Abstract:
What is the relationship between the financial crisis that began in 2008, and the problems facing the real economy of the United States and the world today? For some, the words"financial crisis" are used to describe the continuum of events since 2008; others have called it a "crisis of capitalism," seeing it as a culmination of long-term trends; while others have focused on asset bubbles, financial deregulation, or various macroeconomic policies and imbalances. This panel will look at how this question is addressed from different points of view.
