David Smith, Economics Editor of the Sunday Times, Sumio Kusaka, Minister & Consul General, Embassy of Japan and Richard Albright, Economic Minister, Embassy of the United States of America will hold a panel discussion about the 'age of instability' we find ourselves in. Setting the near collapse of the international financial markets and banking system in a global and historical context, this esteemed panel looks not only at the political and economic factors that contributed to the fall of Lehmans, collapse of Iceland and disintegration of the subprime mortgage market but also at the emergence of a culture of risk and greed that made it possible to believe that greed was good and the good times would last forever.
The Age of Instability provides an authoritative yet accessible guide to what happened, where, and when with practical suggestions for what needs to happen next.
