Incredible. Both Metrick and Geithner were excellent lecturers. All of the associated journal articles and speeches were helpful supplements for a deep background.

Excellent course. A real privilege to have this kind of instructors. Exceptional opportunity to receive information directly from one of the main protagonists of the event.

Very interesting, being European myself, I would have liked more on the professors opinion one how the ECB is trying to save the euro, and potential alternative ways to do so (or not).
