Paul Krugman
Winner, 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics


In the midst of the economic crisis, few people offered audiences more value than Nobel laureate Paul Krugman. He foresaw many aspects of the crisis when he published The Return of Depression Economics in 1999, and has published an updated edition entitled The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008. Paul is a twice-weekly Op-Ed columnist on the economy and politics for The New York Times.

Don Berwick
Former Administrator, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Quality healthcare for every American is more possible now than ever.

Don Berwick sees tremendous unrealized potential in American medicine. Despite our outstanding knowledge base, expert practitioners, and world-class equipment, most Americans do not have access to safe, high-quality care. Former Administrator at CMS, Dr. Berwick presents a vision of how, through well-applied IT, new methods of healthcare delivery, and effective legislation, America can forge a system that satisfies our patients, our wallets, and our moral imperative to care for those who need care. His focus on improving quality has gained him a reputation as a powerful motivator who can push institutions and individuals to do their work better.
