Why did the US run into a financial panic after 70 panic free years? Why did the crisis
spread so quickly, so broadly? Answers to these important questions are emerging, some of
them unsettling. The lecture will offer an interpretation of the events that pinpoint
major vulnerabilities in the global financial system and suggests some novel avenues for
resolving them.
