The Economic Consequences of Bush vs. Kerry: A Debate

University of Chicago Graduate School of Business faculty members will provide a lively exchange of ideas assessing the pros and cons of the economic policies of the presidential candidates. The speakers will define and highlight the differences between the economic programs of Bush and Kerry and evaluate the impact of policies each candidate is likely to pursue on the environment in which business operates and the economy as a whole. After the panelists debate, we will have a substantial amount of time for questions from the audience.
