• by Elizabethtown College

ELIZABETHTOWN, PA (11/10/2009)(readMedia)-- As debates heat up on economic recovery, renowned economist Joseph Stiglitz addresses the global financial crisis and offers insights into the future of our recovery. Dr. Joseph Stiglitz is the former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank, economic advisor to the Clinton administration and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Stiglitz will discuss the turbulence of the global economy, the economic collapse, and the ethical and management failures behind the current financial crisis. He proposes lessons we must learn to put the economy back in balance. Did the stimulus package really help? What went wrong? How long will it take our economy to correct itself?
