The transformation of Argentina from a middle income country with extensive natural resources and a diverse industrial base in recent years into a nation with escalating levels of poverty and overwhelming public and private debt has perplexed many. The origins and nature of the current economic crisis will be analyzed in a roundtable composed of academics and financial managers.

Paul Cooney, Department of Economics, Queens College, CUNY, will explore Argentine economic history to suggest some of the origins of the present crisis.

Vincent Truglia, Managing Director of Moody's Investment Service and Joaquin Cottani, Chief Economist, Latin America, Lehman Brothers will analyze the current status of the economic crisis and possible outcomes.

Albert Fishlow, Director, Institute for Latin American Studies, Columbia University and Martin Weinstein, Professor of Political Science, William Patterson University will explore the impact of the financial crisis on other Latin American countries.

Uki Goni, Argentinian journalist, will comment on recent developments.
