Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation Hosts Lehman Brothers Debate

11/30/2015

Last week, we officially launched the publicity campaign for my newest book, Lehman Brothers: A Crisis of Values, which is available now on Amazon.com.

I was pleased to participate in an exciting seminar organized by the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation in London, which was attended by about 90 people, many of whom were drawn from banking: a head of risk management, former Lehman Brothers directors, directors of other banks, bond and derivative traders, amongst many others. The Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation is a forum for debate and research about the future of the international financial services sector.

I introduced the main themes of my book and the first commentator was Philip Augur, himself an author of books about banking and capitalism.  He spoke very highly of my book as a work of real scholarship; I was, of course, very flattered. There  followed a very lively discussion for  almost two hours in which many supported the main themes of my book and others raised questions to which I had to reply, sometimes at length.

This was followed by an interview with Jane Fuller, a co-director of the Centre. Click here to listen to the interview now.

I welcome inquiries from other organizations, particularly in the US, where the Lehman Brothers crisis and lessons learned should be of particular interest.
