Welcome to the Solution Across Borders blog. Not only for members, this blog is a a Baruch-wide initiative to keep our campus involved in global affairs. Feel free to comment and participate in our discussions here or to come to our meetings on Tuesdays in at VC11-160.
Tuesday's discussion was very thought-provoking... we started off talking about the stimulus package, and Ada brought up how this is not just an American occurrence: several countries are injecting their economies with government money. The case of Japan was also brought up - with some dissent as to how much of a comparison can be made between the US and Japan, given our consumption vs. their savings practices.
ReplyDeleteThe conversation that veered off into how much is this really a crisis - compared to the regular lack that a non-US citizen in a peripheral economy experiences on a daily basis... and what to do about the North / South income gap - if anything at all.
Thoughts?
