The Future of Finance The LSE Report Adair Turner et al.
In the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008-9 much has been written about reforming the world financial system. But it is rarely based on a searching in-depth analysis of the underlying weaknesses within the system. Nor does it usually tackle the key question of what a financial system is for. This book corrects this state of affairs.
