The 2010 series kicked off in Chicago on December 2 with panelists Randall Kroszner, Erik Hurst and Marvin Zonis, who offered a sobering but hopeful view of the economic and political landscape in 2010.
Introduction by Dean Edward A. Snyder
Dean Snyder set the stage for the day’s prognostications, including questions from the audience.
Randall Kroszner
Due to actions of the Fed, “we are in the Great Recession rather than the Great Depression,” Kroszner began.
Erik Hurst
Policy makers will be inclined to focus on the short-term, according to Hurst.
Marvin Zonis
Democrats will introduce a stimulus bill, but call it a “jobs promotion bill,” Zonis predicted.
