In April 2007, financier George Soros, Columbia University professors Jeffrey Sachs and Joseph Stiglitz, former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank, appeared at the Y for a sold-out talk, America: How They See Us. You can listen to the full 80-minute program above, a far-ranging discussion that dissects the U.S.’s role in the world from economic, political and social viewpoints.
Stiglitz returns to the Y on September 14 for another distinguished economist round table, America’s Economic Outlook, hosted by WNYC's Leonard Lopate. It will include Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute and author of Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (And Other Unsolved Economic Mysteries) and The Nation columnist Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.
