Economist R. Glenn Hubbard has thrown a long shadow in the White House of George W. Bush and its economic policy. As chairman of the President's council of economic advisers, he was deep in the tax- cutting fray of the first Bush term, lending his gold- plated academic credentials to the Bush tax cut juggernaut.

Hubbard is a brilliant, conservative, pro-growth economist not afraid to wade into political waters. Now his name is on a very short list of publicly-discussed potential successors to Federal Reserve Bank chairman Alan Greenspan, who steps down in January. Also, his tax cuts are facing massive deficits and hurricane winds.

Tune in for a conversation with economist and policy prime mover, Glenn Hubbard.

Bush and deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department for Tax Policy from 1991 to 1993 under George H. Bush. He is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
