The 80Th Anniversary Of The Great Crash Of 1929: Law, Markets, And The Role Of The State
SYMPOSIUM SUCCESS
The NeXus Symposium was a huge success! All in attendance were intellectually challenged, enjoyed great company, and were well fed. The event featured a number of exceptional panelists: all with very original, innovative thoughts.
Here are a few highlights:
-
The first panel set the tone for the day’s discussions as Dr. Michael Intriligator explained how the recent market crash came about, where the economy is heading, and how we will likely get there. I was particularly intrigued by Dr. Intriligator’s comments regarding how despite the swelling of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, we should be more concerned with deflation, rather than inflation.
-
The lunchtime keynote presentations of both Dean Canova and Tom Campbell were absolutely fascinating. The panel brought the financial crisis home to hear exactly how the financial crisis is hurting California.
-
On our second panel, Professor Colesanti gave a very sobering depiction of how sometimes ineffective our stock market control mechanisms can actually be.
-
For our final panel, Professor Torneden expressed concerns that I share about the role of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
These highlights are by no means exhaustive, as each panelist offered a number of excellent ideas. I highly encourage anyone interested in the future of our economic framework to view the webcast of the panels and to read the panelist’s articles in the spring.
Thank you to everyone involved with the Symposium and for making the event such a memorable occasion.

That's awesome. But we are after the progress on economy. More people are concerned about <a rev="vote for" title="Home Loans and Today’s Market" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/01/21/home-loans-todays-market/ ">home loans</a> than ever before, and rightfully so. It's a buyers market at the moment, as prices are low and the supply is ample, but getting financing for the mortgages is harder. It isn't as easy as getting payday loans, and perhaps it's rightfully so. Mortgage lenders have begun requiring better credit scores and far more documentation than they used to, including credit scores, tax returns, and so forth.
