The American economy has “gotten off track,” according to Stanford economist John B. Taylor, who takes a pointed look at how government actions and interventions have caused, prolonged, and worsened our nation’s financial crisis, and suggests a set of principles to follow to prevent misguided actions and interventions in the future.
Dr. Taylor is the Mary and Robert Raymond Professor of Economics at Stanford University and the Bowen H. and Janice Arthur McCoy Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is widely known for his research on the foundations of modern monetary theory and policy, which has been applied by central banks and financial market analysts around the world.
Dr. Taylor has an active interest in public policy, currently serving as a member of the California Governor's Council of Economic Advisors. In the past, he served as senior economist (1976-77) and member (1989-91) of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. He was also a member of the Congressional Budget Office's Panel of Economic Advisers from 1995 to 2001, and Under Secretary of Treasury for International Affairs from 2001-05.
His new book “Getting Off Track: How Government Actions and Interventions Caused, Prolonged and Worsened the Financial Crisis,” Hoover Press, February 2009, will be available at the luncheon.
