Anatomy of a Crisis
The crisis that shook global markets two years ago and sent many economies into a tailspin has been well documented. The unraveling of complex financial transactions based on home mortgages was the obvious spark that ignited the fire, but were deeper forces at work? And what role did individuals play in shaping the crisis?
At the Fund Book Discussion on September 2, authors Raghuram Rajan and Sebastian Mallaby discussed their books on the root causes of the turmoil and the consequences of the crisis for the future. Watch highlights of the event above.
