The Great American Recession. Ed Leamer

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

In this United States Studies Centre presentation, Ed Leamer, one of America's leading economic forecasters, shares his expert analysis on the global economic crisis. Speaking to Geoff Garrett, he addresses the questions: Is the US leading the world back to the dark days of protectionism? Will Barack Obama's $1.5 trillion stimulus lead to a global recovery, and what if it doesn't? And, what are the implications for people, businesses and government in Australia and around the world?

A visiting fellow at the US Studies Centre, Professor Leamer is director of the Anderson Forecast, professor at UCLA and a visiting scholar at the IMF and the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System. He was the first to predict the 2001 US recession and to warn of the seriousness of America's growing housing bubble in 2005.
