&lt;p&gt;In light of the global financial crisis, Australian economist Mark Thirlwell predicts a wane in enthusiasm for laissez-faire economics, in favor of greater state regulation of national markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The state is back as a major economic player. The current financial crisis has prompted a tsunami of government intervention in rich world financial markets: from regulatory bans on short-selling though to massive public sector bailouts, loan and deposit guarantees, and a series of increasingly dramatic nationalizations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The severity of the crisis has undermined the reputation of Wall Street and left global financial capitalism as a badly tarnished brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the shifting geography of international economic and financial power means that a series of state-controlled actors - including Sovereign Wealth Funds, State-Owned Banks and State-Owned Enterprises, and National Oil Companies - have become important players on the world economic stage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mark Thirlwell looks at the resumed battle for the Commanding Heights of the world economy, and asks whether the apparent victory for the free market secured in the 1980s and 1990s is now about to be overturned in favor of the state - The Lowy Institute for International Policy&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mark Thirlwell, Program Director International Economy at the Lowy Institute for International Policy, is a graduate of Cambridge University and has an MPhil degree in economics from Oxford. He has a postgraduate qualification in applied finance at Macquarie University.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thirlwell began his career as an economist in the Bank of England's international divisions, where he focused mainly on emerging market issues. He also spent some time in the Bank's UK structural economic analysis division. Thirlwell subsequently joined JP Morgan, where he was a vice president in the economic research department with responsibility for Central and Eastern Europe. Before joining the Lowy Institute, Mark was senior economist at the Australian Export Finance and Insurance Corporation from 1999 to 2003, where he worked on country risk issues, with a particular emphasis on East Asia.Thirlwell became an Australian citizen in November 2001.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Australian economist Mark Thirlwell argues that September 15, 2008 - the day the U.S. government declined to rescue ailing financial power Lehman Brothers - may mark the birth of a new phase for the global economy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/10/20/Naomi_Klein_and_Joseph_Stiglitz_on_Economic_Power"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz criticizes American financial leadership in the run-up to the current economic crisis, and declares free-market fundamentalism "dead" as a guiding principle of the U.S. economy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is the role of the U.S. in the disposition of the world's economic and environmental resources? How are financial markets best defended from economic shock? Does liberalization ensure prosperity?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Journalist Naomi Klein speaks with economists Joseph Stiglitz and Hernando de Soto in a conversation moderated by David Harvey, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the Graduate Center - City University of New York (CUNY)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Joseph Stiglitz was chief economist at the World Bank until January 2000. Before that he was the chairman of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 2001. He is currently a finance and economics professor at Columbia University. He is the author of Globalization and Its Discontents and The Roaring Nineties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/07/09/Chinas_Economic_Rise_Fact_and_Fiction"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;China political analyst Harry Harding discusses future scenarios for China's rapid economic growth, and its implications for U.S. foreign policy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;China's economic size will match that of the U.S. by 2035 and double it in total GDP by midcentury, concludes Albert Keidel in presenting his new policy brief, China's Economic Rise&#8212;Fact and Fiction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keidel and a panel of leading experts on China's economy and military discuss the success and substantiality of China's economic rise and addressed the U.S. and global implications of China's long-term economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keidel is joined by Stephen Voth with the U.S. government, Gregory Foster of National Defense University, and Harry Harding of George Washington University. Carnegie's Michael Swaine moderates the discussion - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Director of Research and Analysis, Eurasia Group Harry Harding is a leading China specialist in the United States. He has advised several US Presidents on developments in the PRC; before the Tiananmen Square demonstrations he was brought to Camp David for informal discussions with the first Bush administration. He has written roughly 10 books, including the seminal "China's Second Revolution," regularly cited by Chinese officials as influencing their present 5-year plan. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Harding served on the political science faculties of Swarthmore College (1970-1971) and Stanford University (1971-1983) and was a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He then became Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program at the Brookings Institution (1983-1994), and, later, Dean of the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, a post he held for more than 10 years in total ( January 1995 - June 30, 2005). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On August 1, 2005, Harding joined Eurasia Group, a global political risk consultancy, as the firm's Director of Research and Analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Economists and Hoover Institution Senior Fellows Kenneth Judd and John Taylor evaluate government spending under President Bush, and discuss whether or not the next President should repeal the Bush tax cuts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are we, in fact, in a recession? If not, is one still headed our way? Economists John Taylor and Kenn Judd discuss not only the state of the current economic slowdown, but how the definition of recession is evolving. "Mild" recessions have supplanted what were several decades ago long and painful periods of negative economic growth - Hoover Institution&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kenneth L. Judd is the Paul H. Bauer Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is an expert in the economics of taxation, imperfect competition, and mathematical economics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His current research focuses on tax policy and antitrust issues, as well as developing computational methods for economic modeling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John B. Taylor is the Mary and Robert Raymond Professor of Economics at Stanford University and the Bowen H. and Janice Arthur McCoy Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He formerly served as the director of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, where he is now a senior fellow, and he was founding director of Stanford's Introductory Economics Center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peter M. Robinson is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he writes about business and politics, edits Hoover's quarterly journal, the Hoover Digest, and hosts Hoover's television program, Uncommon Knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In "The Conscience of a Liberal", Paul Krugman, today's most widely read economist, studies the past eighty years of American history, from the reforms that tamed the harsh inequality of the Gilded Age to the unraveling of that achievement and the reemergence of immense economic and political inequality since the 1970s. Seeking to understand both what happened to middle-class America and what it will take to achieve a "new New Deal," Krugman has created a work that weaves together a nuanced account of three generations of history with sharp political, social, and economic analysis. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paul Krugman, who was named Columnist of the Year by Editor and Publisher magazine, writes a twice-weekly column for the op-ed page of the New York Times. He is a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University, and the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 professional journal articles. In recognition of his work, he has received the John Bates Clark Medal from the American Economic Association, an award given every two years to the top economist under the age of 40. The Economist said he is "the most celebrated economist of his generation." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tyler Cowen is a professor of economics and director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.  He writes for MarginalRevolution.com, the #1 economics blog according to blogpulse.com.  Stephen Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics, called this blog "awesomely good, every day."  Cowen also writes a monthly column for the business section of The New York Times, and contributes to many other publications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;    Tyler's Economics Blog: &lt;a href="http://www.marginalrevolution"&gt;www.marginalrevolution&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In DISCOVER YOUR INNER ECONOMIST: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motivate Your Dentist , economics professor Tyler Cowen shows how many of our needs, whims, and wants can be understood through markets.  Want to vent some anger?  A bar in China lets you pay to beat up the staff.  Want to talk to aliens?  For $3.99 a minute a company will broadcast your phone call directly into space. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This event happened September 14, 2007 at the Google NY office.&lt;/p&gt;
