Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 2009. Joseph Stiglitz, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott discuss alternatives to the crisis and Brazil’s role. With the theme “Global Crisis and Alternatives for Reconstruction of the Economy”, the forum provides an overview of the current crisis. Rather than address the causes of the current turmoil, which began with the bursting of U.S. housing bubble and has become a serious global financial crisis, the participants analyze what are the challenges to overcome it.
