Why financialized corporate governance has failed us, why banks own the place, and what we can do about it
Economists have argued that when business managers are rewarded to maximize profits and stock prices, society will be better off. Has this really worked? Join Anat Admati for a wide-ranging public conversation on this issue. Using the banking sector as a prime example, Professor Admati will discuss how, even in well-developed economies, political and policy failures have meant that financialized corporate governance has caused significant distortions and harm. She will offer new ideas to improve the situation.
