The Bankers' New Clothes: What's Wrong with Banking and What to Do About it - with Anat Admati

Economist Anat Admati delivered a lecture at King's College London on their book (co-authored by Martin Hellwig): The Bankers' New Clothes: What's Wrong with Banking and What to Do About it.

In the book, Admati and Hellwig examine how new bank failures proved to be a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we’d never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc. The Bankers’ New Clothes uncovers just how little things have changed—and why they believe banks are still dangerous.

The lecture took place on 8 May, 2024, in London.
