Money, chaos & corruption: how the financial system got us into this mess and what can be done about it

The Big Short’s “dramatic retelling of the 2007-8 financial crisis reveals a riveting world of chaos, corruption and misfits” says the Guardian, but the results from the actual event seems way beyond our control. Or is it? Join Bristol Pound and Triodos Bank, for an afternoon of a comical and critical insight into the flaws of the global financial system and then discuss how we can practically respond and make things better.

12:00 – 14:30 GMT
