New York is amazing because of the people you get the opportunity to hear. Today, I got to hear George Soros, Nouriel Roubini from NYU and Jeffrey Sachs as they shared a stage talking about the current economic crisis, the "bubble on a much larger bubble" as Soros described it.
Shortly afterwards, the chief economic advisor to Barack Obama, Austan Goolsbee, held an hour-long debate with his McCain counterpart, Doug Holtz-Eakin, on campus. Part of the panel from Columbia's side was Joseph Stiglitz. This was more about politics than economics, but it was interesting to hear the two of them debate issues such as health care or the cost of the war in Iraq.
