RSA at the Birmingham Book Festival
In 2000, the total GDP of Earth was $36 trillion. At the start of 2007 it was $70 trillion. Today that growth has gone suddenly and sharply into decline, with an effect roughly resembling that of putting a car into reverse while doing seventy down a motorway.
John Lanchester unpicks the credit crunch to understand deeply and genuinely what is happening to the world’s finances and why we feel the way we do about it.
Speaker: John Lanchester is a novelist and journalist, winner of the Betty Trask and Whitbread awards, and a former editor of the London Review of Books.
