The author of a weekly syndicated column for the Chicago Sun Times, Savage presents witty, entertaining, and thought provoking commentary on the financial issues that will challenge your business and change your future. Will the United States survive the current recession, or will it be a double dip? What impact will Washington's taxation and spending policies have? Should your organization be planning for future inflation-or will deflation rule? Savage digs deep into the concerns of American businesses, with unbiased and uncomplicated strategies and solutions. Her on-air experience makes her an ideal moderator for panel discussions, debates, or entire events. With presentations customized for each audience, Savage's financial acumen is a welcome resource in complicated economic times.
