The Financial Crisis: Where it Came From and Where We are Headed

The Vision Series with Cowen

Tuesday, March 22, 2011 3:00 PM EDT
Hylton Performing Arts Center, Merchant Hall

Tyler Cowen, Director, Mercatus Center, presents a Vision Series lecture, "The Financial Crisis: Where it Came From and Where We Are Headed."

 

Abstract

How—and when—did the present economic turbulence really begin? How do the actions of government, business, and the citizenry affect the larger economy for better or for worse? What do we mean when we talk about a global economy? What should we expect in the future, and how much should we actually expect to know? A noted economist (as well as food writer and art collector) offers a timely analysis of the current crisis and the possible paths forward.
