Dec. 7: AEI: Surprised Again!―The COVID Crisis and the New Market Bubble

Hosted by the American Enterprise Institute. Also video on C-SPAN here.

Alex Pollock and Howard Adler were senior US Treasury officials during the financial markets’ bust-to-boom cycle of the COVID-19 crisis. Their new book, Surprised Again!—The COVID Crisis and the New Market Bubble (Paul Dry Books, 2022), analyzes how the government’s crisis response affected the US financial system. Their clear exposition of the financial stability risks lurking in the Federal Reserve, housing, pension funds, municipal finance, student loans, and cryptocurrencies may surprise many readers with the extent of the financial system problems hiding in plain sight.

Join AEI as Christopher DeMuth and Paul Kupiec engage Mr. Pollock and Mr. Adler in a discussion of the many important issues the authors raise in Surprised Again!
