Listen to The Munk Debate

Be It Resolved North America Faces a Japan-style Era of High Unemployment and Slow Growth.  Arguing for the resolution are Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winner and one of the pre-eminent economists of our time, and David Rosenberg, Chief Economist and Strategist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates. Arguing against the resolution are Lawrence Summers, one of America's most influential economists, and until recently President Obama's director of the White House National Economic Council, and Ian Bremmer, founder and president of the Eurasia Group, a global political risk analysis firm. The Munk Debates are an initiative of the Aurea Foundation, a charitable organization founded in 2006 by Peter and Melanie Munk to "improve the quality and vitality of public debate in Canada."
