Horizons ETFs Insight Lecture: part of the DeGroote School of Business 'Knowledge @ DeGroote Seminar Series'.
Presented by Joseph Stiglitz, Columbia University Professor, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize in economics.
The Great Recession has passed, but for the United States -- and many other countries -- growth is still weak and far below trend. Median incomes have been stagnant for decades, and the small improvements in the unemployment rate mask the large numbers of Americans who have given up on finding work. In this lecture, Professor Stiglitz explains the causes and implications of the current malaise -- and discusses what is needed to get out of it.
