In her book, Henriques describes how President Franklin D. Roosevelt battled to regulate Wall Street in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash and the ensuing Great Depression.

Joseph Calandro, Jr. on "The Credit Cycle: Challenges & Solutions"
Thursday, September 28, 2023 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM

This presentation by Joe Calandro will profile the US credit cycle and the challenges it poses, along with a perspective on where we seem to be in the cycle today. He will show the prior credit cycle wave of progressively lower inflation and interest rates began in 1982, following a historic inflationary trend, and ended in the year 2020. Calandro's analysis suggests that the current credit cycle of waves of progressively higher inflation and interest rates will present strategic risks and opportunities that will increasingly have to be dealt with.
