Description

For more than a decade, economists and policymakers across the political spectrum have criticized the U.S. response to the Great Recession and its aftermath. But what if the results tell a different story? This webinar examines the combined effects of fiscal stimulus, tax policy, quantitative easing, and pandemic-era intervention across multiple administrations, and asks whether those policies helped the U.S. economy outperform Europe and Japan, even at the cost of higher inflation. Was inflation the price of economic dynamism rather than stagnation? Join author and economist Robert Guell for a provocative discussion on one of the defining economic debates of the modern era.
