After Breakfast we are delighted to have our very own DJ McCready speaking on the "Economy". Have you asked yourself about why the economy has behaved the way it has since March 2020? Have you wondered why there are so many different opinions about what might happen in 2024? Why has the US economy prospered and Canada has not? What factors have influenced the actions of the central banks and why are people saying there might be a recession? This will not be a classroom lecture but an attempt to put some of these questions into perspective.

 DJ McCready has been an active member of RHUC since 2011. He is an economist with degrees from University of Windsor, London School of Economics (M. Sc.) and University of Alberta (Ph.D). He specialized in Public Finances and Health Economics, taught from 1969 -2009 at Wilfrid Laurier University and has since continued to date to do  contract teaching on-line and in the classroom.  He has a textbook published in 1986. His most recent research was on Selenium and HIV in Kenya and Rwanda. DJ is a father of 3 sons, grandfather of 8 and soon to be a great-grandfather. He has been on Academic Boards, and community boards throughout his life and currently serves on the Board of CAYR and is Chair of the RHUC Board.
