What Drives the Economy? C, I, or G?

The GMU Economics Society invites you to join a lecture, lunch, and discussion with Dr. Mark Skousen on Friday, October 23rd at 12pm in the JC Meeting Room "A."

"What Drives the Economy: C, I or G?" What will it take to get the economy going again? Is the key renewed consumer spending, government spending, or business hiring workers and investing in new capital? Dr. Mark Skousen, former Columbia University professor, addresses this fundamental debate, and demonstrates the surprisingly evidence that consumption is the effect, not the cause, of prosperity, and the popular idea that consumer spending accounts for 70% of the nation's economy and is a leading economic indicator is largely a myth.

Be sure to join the GMU Economics Society in this lecture & free lunch.
