The hidden fractures threatening our economy

Raghuram Rajan is an economist, a former central banker and he is
credited with predicting the 2008 financial crisis. He also wrote
a book about it called Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still
Threaten the World Economy. The book won the FT Business Book of
the Year award in 2010.


And those fault lines that Rajan wrote about 15 years ago, some
of them are still coursing through our economy and markets.


On this show, we discuss what those fault lines were, which ones
still exist and if new fault lines have opened up.


The shortlist for the 2024 edition of the FT and Schroders
Business Book of the Year has already been announced. The winner
will be revealed on December 9. To find out more visit
