With no definite end in sight for the global economic crisis, concerned community members and students turned away from the political punditry on TV and to a local panel of experts on Friday afternoon to answer their questions about the financial future.
Several hundred people showed up in the Performing Arts Center’s Philips Hall, many with notebooks and pens in hand, ready to take notes and ask questions at the town-hall style forum sponsored by the Orfalea College of Business.
A three-person panel of experts, compiled by Cal Poly economics professor Sanjiv Jaggia, spoke to the eager crowd about the causes of the crisis, the prospects for moving the country forward and the implications for their pocketbooks.
