Beyond Business welcomes the former Bank of England Governor to lift the lid on the financial alchemy that caused the global financial crisis, and share his radical new ideas to avoid another collapse.

A key actor in 2009’s financial drama, Lord Mervyn King explores the underlying weaknesses that sent international economies into a tailspin.

In discussion with Professor Jonathan Crook, King challenges some fundamental assumptions of market economics and argues central banks should become financial institutions’ ‘pawnbrokers for all seasons’, to avoid future crises.
