Joris Luyendijk & Kweku Adoboli: The highs and lows of making, and losing, money in the City

Event date: 
Thursday 8 December 2016
Time: 
18:30
Location: 
Business School 

Summary     Anthropologist and journalist Luyendijk, who's dedicated his recent work to understanding what really goes on in the city, discusses its complex and opaque mechanisms with Adoboli, one of the few bankers in Britain convicted of fraud. 
His account of how the process unfolded, and how responsibility was apportioned, reveals how much ground there is still to cover to hold global financial systems accountable.
