Today, I was fortunate enough to attend a guest lecture by the Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Charlie Bean. It was a great opportunity to learn about the global financial crisis and the current recession from an expert in the field. He also offered some insight into the Bank of England's forecast. One great thing about these guest lectures is that students have an opportunity to ask questions to prominent speakers and often receive candid answers in this informal setting. I think that attending guest lectures is a great compliment to what I learn in class.
