•  How do we get out of crisis? What is the role of the financial industry bailouts and emerging fiscal policies?
•  What does the future look like for the U.S. economy? What is the short- and long-term outlook from a local, national and international perspective?
•  What are the international impacts of the financial crisis? What effects and opportunities are found for Idaho’s trade partners in Taiwan, China and Mexico?
