North America’s Lost Decade?

Krugman and Rosenberg vs. Summers and Bremmer

The future of the North American economy is more uncertain than ever. In this edition of the Munk Debates, Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman and chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates David Rosenberg square off against former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and bestselling author Ian Bremmer to tackle the resolution: be it resolved North America faces a Japan-style era of high unemployment and slow growth.

“It’s now impossible to deny the obvious, which is that we are not now, and have never been, on the road to recovery.”

— Paul Krugman
