Culture and Ethics in Finance

Hugo Bänziger (eabh) and Walter Kielholz (Swiss Re), two leading figures in finance in the 1980s and 90s give true insights into the banking and insurance business in a period of change from nationalisation to privatisation, when the spreads between lending and borrowing were immense and the states involvement in the business resulted in endless piles of paper rather than countries economic development. The core topic of their conversation is ethics, conflicts of interest, liability and risk in the financial world;  how these changed over time and ultimately let to the Great Financial Crises that started in 2007.
