One year ago, America's economy suffered a financial meltdown. What went wrong, could it have been avoided and who should be held accountable - in business and government? Paul Krugman, a New York Times op-ed columnist, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, an assistant editor of business and finance news at The New York Times, will discuss how the economy pulled back from the abyss, where we are headed, the lessons learned and whether they are the right lessons, in an exclusive New York Times Webcast. Mr. Krugman is also professor of economics and International affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prize in economics. Mr. Sorkin is chief mergers and acquisitions reporter for The New York Times and an award-winning business columnist. Lawrence Ingrassia, business editor of The Times, will serve as the moderator.
