Our 2017 Annual Conference marks the tenth anniversary of the start of the global financial crisis with a series of talks on different aspects of the crisis. We cover its causes as well as its lasting consequences, including the effects on banks, debt, inflation and monetary policy. We also examine what changes to the financial system have been made in response before assessing the risks of a new crisis and discussing its potential origins and form.
