GBR Faculty Panel: Stop the Madness: A Recipe to Jump-Start the Global Economy, Part One
GBR Faculty Panel: Stop the Madness: A Recipe to Jump-Start the Global Economy, Part Two
In these dynamic GBR videos, a panel of six Pepperdine faculty from the Graziadio School and the School of Public Policy discuss the global economy, which is at a “historic juncture.” Overseas, the Euro crisis continues to boil and Greece is teetering on default, with debt-shackled Spain and Italy not far behind. Here in the United States, angry protestors are condemning financial inequality as banks seem to continue enjoying preferential treatment. After the mishandling of the debt ceiling crisis, and with political posturing dominating the dialogue, the economic landscape is rife with uncertainty.
Our six faculty bring their insights, experience, and opinions to the forefront in this discussion. The discussion questions include:
- How do we balance the act of helping the economy recover and simultaneously take our deficit down?
- Should Europe issue a common Euro Bond to stop the unraveling of monetary union?
- Is monetary policy out of control or is it just the last line of defense?
For ease of viewing, the video has been posted in two parts; Part 1 ends with a discussion on currency which continues in Part 2.
