RSA Thursday

The BBC's Paul Mason visits the RSA to deliver a gripping account of the financial collapse that destroyed the West's investment banks, brought the global economy to its knees, and undermined three decades of neoliberal orthodoxy.

Covering the development of the crisis from the economic front line, Paul Mason explores the roots of the US and UK's financial hubris, documenting the real-world causes and consequences from the Ford factory, to Wall Street, to the City of London.

How did the credit crunch became a full-blown financial crisis, and what is its impact on capitalist ideology and politics?
