	Overview
	The events of September and October of 2008 left the U.S. financial system in disarray.  The massive government intervention to prevent a freeze up of the system changed the landscape dramatically.  By November Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in government receiverships, AIG was a ward, the Federal Reserve was the lender of last resort in the Commercial Paper market and the Treasury was an investor and part owner of banks across the nation.  The stated policy of the U.S. government is to get out of the financial markets and let them function as private markets once again.  But how do they do this and what will the architecture of 21st Century financial markets looked like?  The UCLA Anderson Forecast Quarterly Conference in March 2009 will roll out the latest Anderson Forecast and address these issues.
