Hurst Lecture Series – Creating Economic Opportunity for More Americans

August 8, 2018  • Aspen Community Programs

After nearly a decade of anemic growth, the American economy seems to be back on track. But while many economic trends—from low unemployment to increasing household optimism—are encouraging, other data suggests that serious challenges remain. Purdue University President and former Governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels, BlackRock Chairman and CEO Laurence D. Fink, and the Neil Moskowitz Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland Melissa Kearney, in conversation with The New York Times Senior Economics Correspondent Neil Irwin discuss creating economic opportunity for more Americans.

In collaboration with the Economic Strategy Group.
