2009 Sophist Salmon Debate
by Kathleen McCoy |
Today, April 3, 1-3 p.m.
Rasmuson Hall, Room 110
The College of Business and Public Policy Seminar Committee presents the "Sophist Salmon" Debate. "This house resolves that the U.S. system is poorly equipped to face the current crisis."
Returning champions are Dr. Gunnar Knapp and Dr. Steve Colt from the Institute of Economic and Social Research (ISER). They will be challenged by Dr. Frank Jeffries and Dr. Rashmi Prasad. UAA Professor Emeritus Dr. Omer Carey will be on hand to serve as the official coin tosser, deciding which position each team will have to argue. The winner will be decided by audience vote. Please join us and see what will happen when economists and behaviorists square off.
