With the most important Federal Reserve Board meeting in recent memory this week, our webinar with former Secretary of Treasury Larry Summers could not be more timely.
Secretary Summers kicked off the ACCF webinar series some 20 months ago on April 9, 2020. Dr. Summers is one of the most influential economists driving the debate on the appropriate economic policy today. This will be an opportunity to discuss our economy since we last gathered, today’s challenges and what we can do to have shared economic prosperity in the future.
In addition to serving as 71st Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration, he served as Director of the White House National Economic Council in the Obama Administration, as President of Harvard University, and as the Chief Economist of the World Bank. Dr. Summers’ tenure at the U.S. Treasury coincided with the longest period of sustained economic growth in U.S. history. He is the only Treasury Secretary in the last half century to have left office with the national budget in surplus. Dr. Summers has played a role in addressing every major financial crisis for the last three decades.
