Slowdown or recession in 2008? What are the root causes of today’s economic turmoil? Is the high unemployment rate, stock market meltdown and rising foreclosures a combination of Iraqi war spending, unscrupulous subprime lenders, the unregulated excesses of the financial markets, and an out of control, indebted American consumer?
Dr. Aric Krause, a graduate faculty member at Westminster College in Salt Lake City and strategic economic analysis consultant to national and multinational corporations, will provide a historical, current and future perspective on the three critical markets: the stock market, the real estate market and the financial markets; all three as they relate to the overall state of the U.S. and global economies.
