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?

Recognized as a leading economist and economic educator, Stiglitz's recent book is "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict," will be followed by his new book, "Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy," to be published in January 2010.
