On Monday, Oct. 27, 2008, Lehigh's College of Business and Economics hosted a university-wide forum on the financial crisis titled, "Back to Basics: Getting Global Markets Back on Track." The event featured four individual snapshots of the crisis and its implications both here and abroad. Panelists included Tony O'Brien, Wight Martindale, Nandu Nayar, and Tom Hyclak.

	Tony O'Brien, professor of economics, revisited parts of a national Web cast on the financial crisis, which he co-hosted with R. Glenn Hubbard at Columbia University, and walked through the activities that led up to the unprecedented congressional bailout package. View the video >
	Wight Martindale, executive-in-residence, will host a series of lectures at Lehigh over the next few months titled, "The Recovery: Understanding the Financial Crisis." He gave an insider's view of the Wall Street community and explained the financial instruments now being closely scrutinized. View the video >
	Nandu Nayar, the Hans Baer Chair in International Finance: Currently at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nayar has had a close look at the international repercussions of the financial crisis and how it could impact the world's developed and emerging markets. View the video >
	Tom Hyclak, professor of economics: Most business experts are no longer asking, "Will there be a recession?" but instead, "How severe will it be?" Hyclak explored the consequences of the financial crisis and its impact on our nation's economic climate. View the video >
