# *EconTalk* LIVE: David Beckworth on Monetary Policy and the Great Recession 

The Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives is pleased to announce another installment of its “live” edition of *EconTalk*. Join Russ Roberts as he interviews David Beckworth, the author of *Boom and Bust Banking: The Causes and Cures of the Great Recession* and of the widely read Market Monetarist blog, *Macro and Other Market Musings*, on the part that the Federal Reserve and other central banks played (and the part they ought to have played) in the Great Recession.
