Newswise — One of the nation's preeminent, and most prescient, economists, Yale Professor Robert Shiller, will speak at a UCSD Economics Roundtable breakfast on Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 a.m. at the Faculty Club on the University of California, San Diego campus. Among his topics will be ways to temper risk in national and personal economies. The address is open to news coverage.

Author of the recently published, The New Financial Order, Risk in the 21st Century, Schiller focuses on the most solid assets of a personal portfolio, such as home ownership and income, and reviews threats to ordinary well-being from the rapidly changing global economy. Professor Shiller's prescription for securing critical assets promises to protect and enhance the individual's economic condition.

Author also of the best selling, Irrational Exuberance, Professor Shiller forecast the stock market bubble collapse of 2000. His thoughts on current directions in the economic markets, which he will share with the Economic Roundtable, are always influential. Professor Sheller's visionary approach to developing economic well being makes him a newsworthy and provocative speaker.

The UCSD Economics Roundtable, http://www.econ.ucsd.edu/roundtable, is sponsored by the UCSD Department of Economics in coordination with UCSD Extended Studies and Public Programs. To make reservations for the Oct. 10 roundtable breakfast, which costs $50 per person, contact Edie Munk at (858) 822-0510 or [email protected].
