Public Policy | U.S. Economy

Peter Orszag, left, with Milken Institute CEO Mike Klowden, gives the audience his views on the elections and what′s happening inside the Beltway.

Today, he has a much different role as vice chairman of global banking for Citigroup.

At this intimate breakfast for Milken Institute Associates - our very first to be held in New York City - Dr. Orszag gave his informed analysis of what the future may hold for the economy, the markets and the Beltway, followed by a Q&A with participants. Few people are better qualified to offer an insightful assessment of these issues.

Prior to joining the administration, Orszag was the director of the Congressional Budget Office, which provides objective analyses of economic and budgetary issues. Before joining the CBO, he was the Joseph A. Pechman Senior Fellow and deputy director of economic studies at the Brookings Institution. During the Clinton administration, Orszag held several positions, including special assistant to the president for economic policy and senior economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Orszag also founded and subsequently sold an economics consulting firm.

A contributor to Bloomberg News and former columnist at The New York Times, Orszag has co-authored or co-edited a number of books, most recently "Protecting the Homeland." He is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Sciences. A summa cum laude graduate of Princeton University, Orszag holds a Ph.D. in economics from the London School of Economics, where he was a Marshall Scholar.

This event was open only to Milken Institute Associates. To learn more about the program, please contact Mindy Silverstein, Director of the Associates, at (310) 570-4634 or msilverstein@milkeninstitute.org.
