One CLE Credit Has Been Requested
The Great Recession that began in 2007 has rocked faith in
US-style capitalism, both here and abroad. What indictments
of the US system are fair, and what are myths? And what
measures must policy makers take to assure sustained
economic growth after the extraordinary fiscal and monetary
stimulus measures taken in 2008 and 2009 wane or are
withdrawn?
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Dr. Robert Litan, Vice President of Research and Policy at
the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and Senior Fellow,
Economic Studies, Brookings Institution, will draw on his
recent book, Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism, co-authored
with Will Baumol and Carl Schramm to discuss these
questions, and to outline an agenda for strengthening the
particular form of capitalism - entrepreneurial capitalism -
for which the United States is best known. He holds a
J.D. from Yale Law School, an M.Phil. and a Ph.D. in
economics from Yale University, and a B.S. in economics
from the Wharton School of Finance, University of
Pennsylvania.
