Join Georges Ugeux, Sonja Gibbs, François Haas and John Authers as they discuss La Descente aux enfers de la finance, Georges Ugeux’s new book on the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and a critical analysis of the role of central banks.
The financial crisis came as a shock to those who were unfamiliar with the highly technical and opaque workings of our financial system. Central banks managed to keep the system afloat, but government debts keep growing and citizens risk becoming collateral damage of a system they have no control over. Georges Ugeux’s book warns us against a possible financial earthquake, and explores what can be done to avoid it.
