Neel Kashkari on the Financial Crisis: 'Our Nation Will Emerge Stronger'
On May 18, Neel Kashkari, former interim head of the Treasury Department's Office of Financial Stability, spoke at Wharton's San Francisco campus. The speech covered his views on the causes of the crisis; the reasons why the Treasury Department had to seek authority to set up a $700 billion bailout program; how that authority was used to keep the financial system from collapsing; and where the economy is headed. After the lecture, Kashkari discussed these issues with members of the audience. Knowledge@Wharton presents a video report of the lecture and discussion.

A slightly edited transcript will be posted below soon. Kashkari's lecture followed an introduction by Douglas H. Collom, executive director of Wharton San Francisco. (Because of technical difficulties, some questions from the audience are unclear in the accompanying video, but these have been edited or paraphrased in the transcript below.)
Interview is from May 26th, about 3 weeks after leaving Treasury (read speech @ link)
