Stephen Zarlenga — "How the Economists Facilitated the Crisis" — EEA (2/26/11)

Stephen Zarlenga's talk at the Eastern Economic Association Annual Meeting 2/26/11. Dr Paul Krugman massaged this audience of economists. I'll summarize his talk: "Don't worry that you didn't foresee the crisis, neither did the rest of us". My talk took the opposite approach blaming the economists with the title "How the Economists Facilitated the Crisis". I said "Economists and their theories should be held accountable for the disaster".
