1. The crisis of Global Capitalism - Becker
2. Financial Crisis: The role of the government - Posner
3. The Credit Crisis: Conjectures about Causes and Remedies - Diamond & Raghuram Rajan
4. Dr. Doom - Profile - Nouriel Roubini - Predicting Crisis in the United States Economy
The meeting format is based on our highly-successful Friday morning strategic management discussions where participants are invited to read a short selection of readings and then contribute to a one-hour facilitated discussion on the selected topic. Registration for these Chicago Loop (LaSalle Street) discussions is limited to twenty people so that everyone has ample opportunity to participate in the conversation. The registration fee includes a box lunch.
Note: These meetings operate much like a book club and will not feature scheduled speakers. We are discussing WRITTEN COMMENTARY by professors Becker and Posner. They will NOT be physically present at these sessions, and have neither endorsed nor discouraged these meetings.
