The world continues to grapple with the "new normal" in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008-2009. The urgency of stimulating growth at a time of increased austerity -- a troubling combination -- is a phenomenon in the USA, Japan, Europe, and China. Yet, besides an overlay of mammoth debt, countries are challenged by rapidly aging populations. The next crisis on the horizon is a retirement tsunami of epic proportion and every American will feel the strains, as fewer dollars must adjust to a demographic and financial day of reckoning.

Event Details
Are pension plans the ultimate Ponzi scheme? Is the American dream of a golden retirement for baby boomers quickly dissipating? Ms. MarksJarvis asserts that over the next few years, this is a battle which will play out in our societies, and it will have no winners. The street battles of Athens and Madrid are foreboding signs for the streets of Chicago, Tokyo, and Berlin. Political leaders will navigate a treacherous environment. In a world where just about everyone has to settle for much less than they have, or thought they would have, making cuts and stimulating growth will not be easy and many persons will confront pain.
