On October 29 at 7 p.m., Professor Bradley R. Schiller of the University of Nevada, Reno will give the lecture "The Great Recession of 2008-09". The lecture will be held in the Auditorium of Ivy Tech Community College.
Despite the obvious issues that have arisen from the recession of 2008-09, it has come nowhere close to the devastation caused by the Great Depression of the 1930's. Professor Schiller plans to speak on the possible effects of the situation we are in now, both short term and long term. Fiscal policy has been less successful, largely due to President Obama's focus on longer-term structural issues like energy independence rather than short-term job creation. The current federal policy walks a tightrope strung between deficit restraint and continued spending stimulus.
