Risks of Recession, Prospects for Policy
By Lawrence Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor
In a speech delivered at the Brookings Institution, Lawrence Summers discusses the state of the U.S. economy: "Our current economic situation requires a comprehensive program of measures to contain the fallout from problems in the financial and housing sectors and to assure sufficient policy support for economic growth over the next several years. Perhaps because of a failure to appreciate the gravity of our current situation and the problems our political process has in responding quickly and collaboratively to emergent threats, such a comprehensive program is neither in place nor in immediate prospect."
