The Global Financial Crisis of 2007/8

Causes and Consequences

Thursday 4th June

10.30am – 4.30pm

Anita Fernandez

£25.00

A detailed and accessible exploration of the global economic landscape in 2007, and how a series of financial pressures and policy decisions evolved into the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression.

We will examine the build-up to the crash, the key institutions and individuals involved, and the responses taken by governments and central banks around the world. From collapsing banks to international bailouts, we will trace how events unfolded and why their consequences were felt so widely.

Whose fault was it? Were there any winners — or only losers? And could it happen again, or have the lessons truly been learned?

A thought-provoking day designed to deepen understanding of an event that continues to shape the economic world we live in today.
