19 October 2009This public forum discussed The Great Crash of 2008 by Ross Garnaut, with David Llewellyn-Smith, published by Melbourne University Press. The book examines the factors that led to the Great Crash of 2008 and subsequently to the current global recession. It provides an integrated analysis of one of the major events of our time, drawing on behavioural economics, the issue of global macroeconomic imbalances and the operation of modern financial markets. The study also discusses a range of policy options to mitigate future crises.

Professor Ross Garnaut was joined by a panel of experts to discuss the economic crash of 2008, and how it has impacted on financial market regulation, security and the Asia-Pacific region.
