Returning for its third year, with a signature deep dive into past mistakes and the lessons they hold for today.
A weekend of insight, discovery, storytelling and spirited debate, this year’s programme features topics including the mafia’s unlikely role in shaping 1960s queer nightlife; the economics of football — and why Hollywood is investing in the UK’s lower leagues; Gen Z’s pension prospects as young taxpayers; why your water bill is so high (and how to fix it); Trumponomics and the new age of state capitalism; and what happens when debt worries turn into mental health crises.
Whether your interest is history or economics, the key theme —
Default: the history, art and ethics of not paying back what you owe — has plenty to fascinate and intrigue: from the harsh punishments meted out to debtors, to how faith traditions have wrestled with debt — and some cheeky advice to today’s countries on how not to go bust.
