The Center for Global Leadership and Understanding Presents:
Free Markets, The Sub-Prime Debacle and the Financial Crises
Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 6:00-7:30 P.M.
Room M218 Buell Management Building
Mr. Rinkus analyzes the causes and implication of the current global financial crisis. He provides new insights that challenge the conventional wisdom, arguing that sub-prime financing was a symptom rather than a cause of a crisis that had its origins in global financial forces.
Mr. Michael Rinkus is Senior Vice President of International Banking at Comerica Bank, Adjunct Professor of Finance and Accounting and a DBA candidate at Lawrence Technological University.
Who should attend:
Anyone with a professional or personal interest in the current financial crises and its longer-term consequences, or with an interest in the new global financial landscape.
You will learn:
- What the market was telling us before the crisis hit
- How emerging markets and increased foreign capital flows impact the U.S. economy
- The new players in global capital markets
- How trust in U.S. markets attracted good capital to bad investments
- What an international lender has learned about the global marketplace after surviving 30 years of global risk
Registration is required for this event. The cost for the event is $15. (no charge for current students and members of the Center)
