From Credit Crisis to Resilience

The former Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney reflects on the 2008 crash. More than a decade on, how much have bankers changed their ways?

Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of England, takes us back to the high drama of the financial crisis of 2008, which ended a period when bankers saw themselves as unassailable Masters of the Universe. More than a decade on, how much have the bankers changed their ways? How far has the financial sector changed? Dr Carney says that we must remain vigilant and resist the β€œthree lies of finance.” If we don’t, he warns, we will live with a system which is ill-prepared for the next crisis.
