I was listening to a speech that Robert Reich gave last week at Dartmouth College. The speaker, during the question and answer period, gets to record for the next speaker in the series a question…to be the first question the next speaker answers.
The next speaker in the series was to be Hank Paulson.
Reich had two questions…the first of which was a question about Paulson’s handling of the bank failures and bailout…the second question was:
Whether the social benefits of Wall Street exceed the social costs?
