Albert H. Gordon Lecture: Comments on the current financial crisis


Abstract: Remarks at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Cambridge, Massachusetts, February 23, 2009. ; \"It may seem like the stuff of the wildest dreams to imagine our getting ourselves out from our current nightmarish predicament. But I believe we can and we will. We are Americans. I believe deep in my soul that when put to the test, Americans rise to the occasion no matter how great the challenge. We have done it time and again. We have no choice but to do it once more, now.\"
