Clearly, the lessons of the 2008 banking crash have not been properly learned. The government’s approach to the finance industry is too laissez-faire. Events in the US banking and finance sectors echo some of the processes we saw prior to the crash, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a clear warning. We recall […]
