Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community

Anatomy of a meltdown: The GFC Forum: Causes, effects and recovery

Few public events are significant enough to justify their own acronym. Much has been said and done about the global financial crisis (GFC) already. But how accurate or effective has this been? Are fingers being fairly pointed? Can the cracks be repaired, or do we need a whole new system?

In this lively forum, four ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide experts in economics, finance, banking and international trade - Professor Christopher Findlay, Professor Ralf Zurbrugg, Professor Dogan Tirtiroglu and Mr Andrew Stoler - will break the GFC down, clear the fog, assess the way forward, and answer your questions.

When: 5.30-7.00pm Tuesday 14 April
Where: Lecture Theatre 102, Napier Building, North Terrace Campus
Admission free, RSVP essential
