Twitter was abuzz with praise for Dr. Lowell Catlett's keynote talk last week in Nashville, TN, at the Business Outlook Summit, sponsored by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Optimistic in tone, Dr. Catlett's presentation was taped and you can watch a short clip of it on YouTube.

The Nashville Business Journal covered the event.

Catlett said he’s not making light of anyone’s struggles. But Catlett said some good economic news has been ignored in favor of the bad. He also said comparisons to the Great Depression go overboard, calling them “an insult to my father’s generation that went through” it.
