Princeton Economics Professors Lecture on the Crisis

September 26th, 2008

Paul Krugman has posted a YouTube video of a panel lecture on the financial crisis, and it is excellent. If you are at all interested in the crisis (and you should be), I suggest watching the lectures.

My favorite was by Professor of Finance Harrison Wong. He gives a detailed, but not overly complicated, explanation of why the investment banks bought up mortgage securities so heavily.
