We are teetering on the edge of a new global economic crisis. A relapse in growth could trigger more job cuts, bank failures, and real estate foreclosures, pushing the U.S. closer to a lost decade of Japan-style deflation.

What options does the Obama administration have to put the economy back on track when interest rates are near zero and there are widespread concerns about government debt?

Join Bernard L. Schwartz as he welcomes former Chairman of the National Economic Council Laura D’Andrea Tyson, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, University of Texas Austin professor James K. Galbraith, Peterson Institute Senior Fellow Joseph Gagnon, and others for an honest assessment of the state of the economy and the growth and jobs strategy we need for a sustainable recovery.
