Why glaciers don't like the smell of frying bacon (Henrietta Moore - 28 Jan 2016)


source: UCL Lunch Hour Lectures     2016年2月4日
Speaker : Professor Henrietta Moore
UCL Institute of Global Prosperity
Many communities around the world think of landscapes, plants, rocks, winds, non-human ancestors and a variety of physical phenomena, beings and entities as having consciousness and intentionality. Should we be using these ideas to regain our respect and sense of wonder about our planet? And what difference would it make if we did?

Lord Mervyn King: "The End of Alchemy" | Talks at Google


source: Talks at Google 2016年3月17日
Lord Mervyn King, the former Governor of the Bank of England, joined us in London to talk about the financial crisis, banking and global economy.
Recorded March 2016

ABOUT THE BOOK -
The past twenty years saw unprecedented growth and stability followed by the worst financial crisis the industrialised world has ever witnessed. In the space of little more than a year what had been seen as the age of wisdom was viewed as the age of foolishness. Almost overnight, belief turned into incredulity.
Most accounts of the recent crisis focus on the symptoms and not the underlying causes of what went wrong. But those events, vivid though they remain in our memories, comprised only the latest in a long series of financial crises since our present system of commerce became the cornerstone of modern capitalism. Alchemy explains why, ultimately, this was and remains a crisis not of banking - even if we need to reform the banking system - nor of policy-making - even if mistakes were made - but of ideas.
In this refreshing and vitally important book, former governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King - an actor in this drama - proposes revolutionary new concepts to answer the central question: are money and banking a form of Alchemy or are they the Achilles heel of a modern capitalist economy?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
Mervyn King was Governor of the Bank of England from 2003 to 2013, and is currently Professor of Economics and Law at New York University and School Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics. Lord King was made a life peer in 2013, and appointed by the Queen a Knight of the Garter in 2014.
