Event Details
Prof. Aliber pulled no punches and called it like he saw it, uncensored, this past February at our 2015 Economic Forecast. The decline of China GDP growth and the price of oil were just 2 examples of correct calls in 2015. Will the U.S. economy continue to grow in 2016? Will interest rates and inflation finally rise after years of easy money policies? Ask Prof. Aliber about suspect China economic data, the future of oil or other commodities or your personal finance decisions.
