TIME and Milton Friedman

Time Magazine has a great article on the passing of Milton Friedman that can be found at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1561157,00.html. Just as Keynes can be thought of as the father of post depression economics, Friedman can arguably be thought of as the influential economist since that time.

Moskow's Speech...

...in Muncie is similar in topic to the one delivered a few days ago in Chicago. The transcript of the speech can be found at http://www.chicagofed.org/news_and_conferences/speeches/2006_11_06_outlook.cfm. Of particular interest is the discussion of the labor force and outlook on inflation.

The slides used in the discussion of Chapter 25 are posted and can be found at http://facultyweb.anderson.edu/~eadulaney/2010chap25.ppt.

Federal Reserve Forecasting Luncheon

FYI:

BSU is hosting a Business Forecasting Roundtable luncheon on Wednesday (http://www.bsu.edu/cob/bfrlrsvp/). Speaking will be Michael Moskow, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Moskow, who also is a member of the Federal Reserve's open market committee, will discuss the prospects for continued economic growth in 2007.
"With the housing market contracting, the malaise of the Big 3 automakers and the hemorrhaging trade deficit, there are plenty of balls up in the air for those who are busy trying to steer monetary policy into the future," said Patrick Barkey, director of Ball State's Business Forecasting Roundtable. "Don't miss this chance to hear from, and to perhaps challenge, those who are making the decisions we all must live with."
