The Bankwatch

Tracking the evolution of financial institutions

Niall Ferguson on CNN Global Public Square

Fareed conducted a wide ranging interview and the pragmatic & intelligent conversation from Ferguson spoke of:

  • the importance of avoiding protectionism that was the real culprit of the 30′s depression
  • the potential for innovation in industry, technology and financial services. Innovation accelerates in bad times he pointed out – eg IBM arose from the depression.

UPDATE:

The video will appear here in due course.
