Understanding What's Going on in the Economy

Monday, August 25, 12:00-1:00pm
MacLean B01

With rising unemployment, high energy prices, and ongoing turmoil in world capital markets, there are many important questions about the outlook for the U.S. and world economies. The answers to these questions are important for all citizens--especially for U.S. voters looking ahead to the fall elections. In this discussion, Tuck Professor Matt Slaughter will offer his views on the important economic issues of the day.

Lunch will be provided - please RSVP to Ellen Stein (646-3483, ellen.stein@dartmouth.edu).
