Economist Sees A Positive Future

International Economist Dr. Andrew T. Hook has spent 30 years in banking, finance and economic development and he'll use much of that experience for a presentation on the United State economy on Thursday, March 14th. Hook said too many people look at the short term and try to figure out what the economy will do in the next two or three months. Hook said we lose track of where really are in the longer view, the next four or five years. Dr. Hook said he's not a big fan of quips but Economist John Maynard Keynes said once that "in the long term, we're all dead. And to get to the long term, we have to live through the short term." Hook will speak at noon on Thursday, March 13th in the Chalberg Theater on the Central Lakes College Brainerd campus. His presentation is sponsored by the Rosenmeier Center for State and Local Government and there is no charge.
