Fischer Memorial Symposium on April 21st called "In Debt We Trust." Last month, Institute founder Robert Fischer died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Over the last three decades of the deregulation of the U.S. banking industry, the banks' best customers have changed from those who pay off their loans to those who are perpetually in debt. America has witnessed an historically unprecedented rise in household debt levels and record low consumer savings rates. Dr. Manning is Research Professor and Director of the Center for Consumer Financial Services at Rochester Institute of Technology.
