With the country working hard to pull out of one of the most difficult economic climates in the past century, the Obama administration's powerhouse economic team is the focus of much hope and much criticism. Are they taking the right measures? What's really happening with the economy? Just how close did the United States' economy come to going off a cliff two years ago?

On September 30, The Commonwealth Club of California is hosting a program featuring U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. The event will take place at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco.

This is your chance to hear for yourself what the nation's top financial policymaker has to say about the current and future state of the economy.

Tickets are available for advance purchase.

UPDATE: This program was postponed. We'll keep you informed about any rescheduling.
