Transforming Finance3 January 2013
Fresh thinking on democracy, finance and banks.
Last year's Just Banking conference was a great success. So much so that we're leading another major conference on financial reform in London on 10 May 2013.
This one day event - supported by think tanks and Non Governmental Organisations - will bring together leading academics, policy-makers and campaigners to address two urgent questions:
- How can we prevent asset price bubbles, debt crises and state bailouts of financial institutions?
- How can we get finance flowing into projects with social and environmental value?
