26 NovemberDead Rats - An Exploration of the Financial Crisis
2008
J.Du Toit (The University of Manchester)
4.00pm - Frank Adams Room 2, Alan Turing BuildingAbstractThe rate race is over - the rats are dead! Long live the rats! Everyone is aware that in the last few months the world has experienced a rather dramatic financial crisis. This talk will explore some of the causes of that crisis. I am no economist and do not claim to understand the whole situation, however I will present my own view of the main causes of the mess and try to show how the pieces fit together. Along the way we will meet blue collar workers, loan pimps, reckless presidents, fat bankers and derivative securities. WARNING: This talk is rated Certificate 18 as it contains scenes of strong language and prejudice against greedy capitalist bankers. Viewer discretion is advised.
