The 2008 Financial Crash and the Crisis in Neoliberal Economics

Join the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose and Professor Damon Silvers to explore the continued economic and political consequences of the 2008 financial crisis and global policy responses.

More than 15 years after the peak of the financial crisis in 2008, the economic and poltical effects of the crisis continue to be felt and continue to shape the ability of governments to address increasingly urgent global problems. In these two lectures, Damon Silvers, Visiting Professor of Practice in Labour Markets and Innovation, will both look back on his own experience as the Deputy Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP, the organisation that oversaw the 2008 bank bailout for the U.S. Congress, and reflect on the ongoing impact of the events of the crisis on the world today.
