The Financial Crash: 10 Years On

Ten years ago, banks’ reckless gambling led to the financial crisis. Despite funding a £½ trillion bailout, the public have suffered cuts to public services, attacks on the social safety net and poverty wages. Meanwhile the financial sector has made billions in profit and continues to prey upon the rest of the economy. Is it possible to go back to the pre-thatcher social democratic settlement? Or do we need to find a new way forward.. How do we stop the march of the banks and fix an economy rigged in favour of the elites.

With Paul Mason, Sarah-Jayne Clifton of Jubilee Debt Campaign, and Owen Espley of War on Want.
