John Snow

Financial markets have witnessed an alarming series of events that promise to radically alter the global economy and financial systems for years to come. Much of the situation can be attributed to the creation of financial instruments that were meant to disaggregate risk, but instead led to widespread degradation of the economic architecture. As the executive and legislative branches of government work to contain the situation and restore confidence, how will these reforms impact corporate America, the domestic and global economy, and average citizens alike. In this presentation the esteemed economic and business leader, John Snow, analyzes the moves that brought the economy to the brink of disaster and suggests what decisions must be made to move the economy forward – both in the short term and the long term. 

In addition, Snow shares:

• His insight into the consequences of new policy decisions such as the creation of a new financial agency to provide industry oversight
• Who will emerge as the global winners and losers
• Will the shoe drop on other aspects of the market that are largely unregulated such as the world of private equity?

Why are some economies more successful than others? Why does economic reform thrive in East Asia while it flounders in many countries in Africa and Latin America? What kind of risks do other countries' economies face, and in turn, what specific threats or opportunities do they pose to the U.S.? John Snow discusses how other nations deal with fast-changing economic dynamics that can produce instability and reveals what the U.S. can learn from it. Audiences will confidently walk away from Snow's presentation knowing how to be better prepared for constant fluctuations in the global business and capital markets.
