The New York Review of Books held a crowded panel as part of the PEN World Voices Festival. Senator Bill Bradley, Niall Ferguson, Paul Krugman, Nouriel Roubini, George Soros, and Robin Wells filled a stage and discussed The Economic Crisis and How to Deal with It. A lot of bloggers and economists (and econobloggers, for that matter) have highlighted the talk for the jousting between Krugman and Ferguson--Brad DeLong, for example, backs up Krugman in a post today. But the talk was much more. There are several good summaries available, like this one from Jane Ciabattari. The folks at PEN have made audio of the full event available. You can listen or download an mp3 here.
And you can hear an excerpt (with slides) below:
