The Recession: How Deep, How Long and What Caused It?

What were the causes of the rapid decline in the economy and the longer malaise in spending and what are the prospects for a recovery this year? Will the "stimulus" really help (how did we get out of 1980-82?) and how is monetary policy doing?

He has appeared on CNBC, Bloomberg, and numerous local news and business TV and radio shows.
