<description><![CDATA[A year ago we could not have imagined the depths of the current financial crisis, says Marshall Carter, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and deputy chairman of NYSE Euronext. Carter offers his expert opinion on the causes of the current economic crisis, and how the United States can recover, at the Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series. He blames the compounding of problems, such as dangerous lending, the failure of CEOs and boards to properly provide risk management, the use and growth of credit default swaps, and the housing market crash, for leading to the financial tailspin.

<description><![CDATA[Fear and uncertainty have become mainstays during the current financial crisis in the United   States. Americans have witnessed the collapse of major banks, insurance companies, automakers, and the real estate market and unemployment numbers continue to break records. The U.S. government continues to funnel trillions of dollars into the economy, with no end in sight to what has been called the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The College of Arts and Science's Discovery Series for alumni invited Boston University faculty experts in the area of politics and economics to analyze what has brought the country to this point, debate whether the worst is over, and offer remedies to get the United States back on track financially.
