Lunch: This Time Is Different - Or Is It?
Kenneth Rogoff and Mike Milken on Prospects for Global Economic Recovery (By invitation only)

Speaker:

Kenneth Rogoff, Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy, Economics Department, Harvard University

Interviewer:

Michael Milken, Chairman, Milken Institute

Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard economist and co-author of the best-selling "This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly," joins Milken Institute Chairman Mike Milken for a private lunch dialogue on markets and the global economy. Among other recurrent myths they're sure to explore (and explode) are the ideas that sovereign debt is risk-free and that real estate prices always rise. They'll drill down on specifics of current concerns about instability in the Middle East, the rise of frontier economies as the BRICs lose their luster, the outlook for the euro zone and the prospects for resolution of gridlock in Washington. And they'll consider the positive impact of such trends as the rising middle class in developing nations, new energy supplies, rising productivity and accelerating technology advances.
