For a conversation on Monetary Policy and the possibility of inflation in the u. S. Economy. Former Federal Reserve chair bernanke and Larry Summers speaking. Live coverage just getting underway. Will undoubted lly weighing. Thats the fun. We think that the question of rethinking the two Percent Inflation target is one of the most important questions facing Monetary Policy makers at the moment. You might say the backward looking question that we need to think about which we are thinking about is how did unconventional policy really work and should unconventional policy really be considered conventional policy. We look forward i think you have to argue that one of the biggest questions now is whether given everything we know whether a two Percent Inflation target framework is the right one for Monetary Policy. After all, when it was conceived nobody anticipated we would have so many years of trying to get inflation up to two percent and nor did we think that the long run equilibrium Int
Monetary policy. This is part of a conference on inflation hosted by the Brookings Institution center on fiscal and Monetary Policy. Its about an hour. And then were going to move to the next segment, which is really important, because it seems to me that theres a question not only about what we should do, but how we should get there. And it may that be we have something to learn from the canadian experience. So i want to introduce john david murray, who was, for 32 years at bank of canada, 32 or 34, john . 4 years at the bank of canada. Last four as deputy governor.

And then the president of the Federal Reserve bank of boston, who has been thinking about just that question, is going to respond. So, john . Is this mic on . Thank you. There should be a power point that accompanies t
I would say for this discussion that there are no differences, but we do not have specific programs specifically targeted for the female inmate population, which this would be consistent with all of corrections, not just within the federal system, but i would definitely take your question back to have discussions internally with the bureau to include my colleagues and if theres something that is being done or if you are aware of something specifically for the female inmate population relative to the cbt programs we provide. My understanding, as a general proposistion, women are in prison for drug crimes and not Violent Crimes. That is a very different profile than a dangerous felon in our system. I would ask that you take into consideration those kinds of factors as well as i think there may be some programs that will better enable women to reintegrate when they are released and would work for men. I believe that there are some states who recognize those kinds of factors and plan their
This is true because of the incredible success the Broadband Program has had across the country here and at the Brooklyn Library amazing things. Making Great Strides and addressing the digital skill divide. Many of us are wondering where the additional funding is going to come from . I should take a moment on the Digital Literacy spectrum to talk about the room we are sitting. This is a digital commons. It provides us through an increasingly sophisticated set of tools, faster connectivity. It cost around 34 million and how can we build more because we know the need is there. I am hoping the panel will talk about this. It is my pleasure to introduce the director of Library Services.
