1:06:43Now PlayingAs governor of the Bank of England and chair of its monetary policy committee from 2003 to 2013, King was a key figure in leading Britain through the financial crisis. Reflecting on the recession and assessing it in the context of past jolts to capitalism, King, now a professor at the London School of Economics and NYU, looks back over the history of banks, loans, and economic growth; tracking a long boom-and-bust cycle, he questions whether such a pattern is inevitable, and suggests ways to use modern economic tools to create a more stable system.
King will be in conversation with novelist and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.
