The Future Economy Series

Professor of Finance and Economics at Stanford University Anat Admati, believes that the financial sector has not learned its lessons from the crisis - despite its protestations to the contrary. After testifying to Congress and organising countless high-level summits, she visits the RSA to argue that the banking industry’s recklessness and resistance to reform will continue to have indefensible social costs unless it is completely reevaluated.
