Former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin will provide a broad overview on the shorter and longer term economic outlook for the U.S. economy. In that context, he will focus on a few key policy issues, including fiscal matters, public investment, a cost/ benefit framework for legislation and regulation, and climate change.

He will also discuss the state of the U.S. political system as the fundamental issue with respect to the country's future.

A reception in the Upper Pavilion will follow the program.
