What’s Next for the U.S. Economy? with Lawrence H. Summers

What is the outlook for the U.S. economy? Inflation. Interest rates. The budget deficit. In this Wiener Conference Call, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence H. Summers shares his perspective on which economic policies are working, which are not, and what policymakers can do in the current political and economic climate to maximize inclusive growth and prosperity.

Wiener Conference Calls recognize Malcolm Wiener’s role in proposing and supporting this series as well as the Wiener Center for Social Policy at Harvard Kennedy School.
