Have We Repaired Financial Regulations Since Lehman?
"The 2008 financial crisis led to the worst recession in the developed world since the Great Depression. Governments had to respond decisively on a large scale to contain the destructive impact of massive debt deflation. Still, several large financial institutions and thousands of small-to-medium-sized institutions collapsed or had to be rescued, numerous non-financial businesses closed, and millions of households lost their savings, jobs, and homes. Five years later, we are still feeling these effects. Will the financial reforms introduced since the onset of the crisis prevent another catastrophe? This keynote panel titled 'Have We Repaired Financial Regulation Since Lehman' at the Institute for New Economic Thinking's "Human After All" conference in Toronto."
Featured speakers: Anat Admati, Richard Bookstaber, Andy Haldane, and Edward Kane, moderated by Martin Wolf.
