A view of the economy

I my former life, I spent 20 years in the financial world and was also a trained economist and researcher, before moving on to trading/sales and fund management.
While not being in total sync with his political affiliation, I think this recent speech by Larry Summers is worth your 54 minutes.

My highlights, if you do not have the time;

opening intro, political financial/industrial bailout and its results

17 min - 27 min. macro overview and insight

29-33 Healthcare

33-39 Education and business
