In 2000 Joseph Stiglitz, then chief economist at the world Bank, was fired after criticising the US Government for its handling of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
Now, the Nobel Prize-winning economist believes similar criticisms can be levelled about the global collapse of 2008. In this, a keynote event of the Book Festival, Stiglitz argues that we must create a new global financial architecture based on a better balance between the market and the state, and between means and ends.
This is the final event in a major lecture series with Sky, which aims to explore the role that business can play as we endeavour to create a more sustainable approach to our economy, society and environment.
Find out more about our other events in the series with CBI director general, Richard Lambert; HSBC Chairman, Stephen Green and a panel on consumer behaviour.
