Abstract

Values for Money: Morality and financial markets after the crisis from secular and Christian perspectives

From the 2008 crisis to the Libor and Foreign Exchange scandals, flawed financial markets are a live issue. But is the problem more moral than technical? If there is a moral dimension, what kind or a moral framework might be applied? How different might a faith-based perspective be to a secular view?

Join us to explore these questions, with two speakers offering their different academic and personal reflections.

Dr Hay specialises in industrial economics, competition policy, and has researched in Brazil, China and the UK. Publications include ‘Industrial Economics and Organisation’, and he is a Licensed Lay Minister.
