MARCH 20 ROUNDTABLE AT BUCKTOWN’S CHAISE LOUNGE

AFF Chicago Roundtable, March 20: The Subprime “Crisis” with Hoenig, Henderson, and Mian

AFF Chicago is hosting its second roundtable on March 20th at the Chaise Lounge in Bucktown. Join roundtable panelists Jonathan Hoenig, M. Todd Henderson, Atif Mian and moderator B.T. Remmert for a discussion about the history and fallout of subprime lending.

Are consumers or banks to blame for the subprime fallout? How have subprime loans affected the U.S. economy? What should the U.S. government do - if anything - to protect lenders and / or home owners? Panelists will give a 5-7 minute introduction to their positions and B.T. will then open the floor to your questions and comments.
