EFTA00637725 In this talk Adair Turner, the head of the Financial Services Authority in 2008, will argue against conventional wisdom and show why sometimes it's better to print your way out of financial crises, rather than shifting debt on to the public. Drawing on his new book Between Debt and The Devil, Lord Turner will also demolish the arguments behind deregulating the financial industry, showing that most credit is not needed for economic growth but rather drives real estate booms and busts, and leads to financial crisis and depression. Informed by hard-won experience gained as he led the Financial Services Authority at the height of the 2008 financial crisis, Turner shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance. 7 EFTA00637726 HIGHLIGHTS EFTA00637727 04.02.2016 how to: Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness with Will Self Read more and book now 12.01.2016 how to: Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs with Harvard Professor Lisa Randall Read more and book now 17.02.2016 how to: Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain with Joanna Kavenna Read more and book now 25 01 2016 how to: The Art of the Confidence Trickster: a Masterclass in Psychology 02.03.2016 how to: Virginia Woolf, To The Lighthouse with Deborah Levy Read more and book now EFTA00637728 with Maria Konnikova Read more and book now EXPLORATION EFTA00637729 11.02.2016 how to: Walking the Himalayas with Levison Wood Explorer, bestselling author and presenter of Channel 4's hit documentary series Walking the Nile', Levison Wood rarely stays in one place for very long.

Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson An unmissable evening with A.A.Gill in conversation with John Mitchinson on the occasion of his new book POUR ME, A Life, his dark yet laugh-out-loud memoir, which charts the soggy tangle of a shredded life; the year between the end of his marriage and the end of his drinking . "The one miserly charity of drink is that it strips away memory. You start by forgetting the last hour of Saturday night, a name, a conversation, how you lost your shoes, and then, as life begins to tumble like an up-ended skier, so the avalanche of forgetting comes and sweeps up the evidence, burying the remembrance in a soft white darkness, a roaring silence. After a time you've forgotten more than you can remember. For me. out of a decade I have perhaps two years, perhaps three, of remembrances ... There is a hope, if not a reliable fact, that this is the best I can muster, this is a retrospective truth gleaned from the shards and tesserae. An attempt to reimagine something lost, an emotional archaeology" A.A.

His resultant memoir of his mother.
