Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers on The New Economy

Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers spoke at the Haas School on December 6, 2000. In his talk, presented as part of the Haas Business Faculty Research Dialogue, Summers, Treasuring Secretary under President Clinton, discussed the new economy and the factors that define it as new. He cited three defining changes: rapid, dramatic developments in technology; the rise and decentralization of markets; and tremendous global integration. He then identified five principles of economic policy that the Clinton administration has applied to address these changes and that will be most effective for the US in the years ahead. The excerpts in this video outline those five principles.
