  1. During Fall for the Book, economists Robert Samuelson and Liaquat Ahamed will look to history for insights about today's financial situations. Do you think they will find that the past provides the key to the future? Or will they need new answers for new times?

  2. I am pleased to see that Mr. Ahamed and Mr. Samuelson will be at Fall for the Book. Though I shouldn't presume what they will say, I am of the belief that economists must use the past as a guide to better understand the present; however, that guide should not stunt the imagination and creativity necessary to overcome modern obstacles. I am sure these prolific economists will discuss better ways to connect the past to the present so that we may hopefully (and collectively) discover the most imaginative way(s) out of our current economic problems.
