Financialisation and the Rise of Private Equity and Hedge Funds", 7th British-German Trade Union Forum Conference
Report from the meeting

19/12/2008

     

The Anglo-German Foundation has published the report from the 7th British-German Trade Union Forum conference on 'Financialisation and the Rise of Private Equity and Hedge Funds', Manchester 16–17 July 2008. The event took place just as some of the dangers associated with highly-leveraged financing were coming home to roost in spectacular fashion. But this does not mean that the analysis and recommendations have been superseded by events - an economic downturn in itself, no matter how severe, is not enough to ensure that unregulated and un-social financial dealing will not create similarly harmful economic volatility again in the future.
