The Spitzer Lecture - Paul Krugman: Whither the Economy

Not long after Hurricane Katrina, Paul Krugman sat down with Thomas Herman, senior special writer for
The Wall Street Journal, at the Y on September 29, 2005 to ponder the question, "Whither the Economy?" You can listen to this amazingly insightful talk, in which Krugman discusses the American economy's day of reckoning, his criticism of the Bush administration and former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, the housing bubble, and other warning signs of the current financial crisis.
