Professor Lew Spellman Presents: “Economic Policy has Reached a Dead End and the Recession Continues”

October 20th, 2009 · Alumni News · BBA News · BHP News · Events · MBA News · Posted by Kelly McNamara

Many gauges of the Great Recession continue to reach high water marks, and traditional monetary, fiscal and exchange rate policy used to contain the economic downturn have hit a dead end and can be of little or no further benefit. Indeed, to continue to push theses policies further adds to the related mega risks known as sovereign risk, inflation risk, capital outflow risk and default risk. There are many cross currents and the outcome of all these forces is far from clear, but we will try to sort through them.

When: October 21, 7:15 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
Where: AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center, Room 106
