Financial Innovation a Risky Business?

Using a dynamic discussion approach in which a moderator poses hypothetical scenarios to a panel of experts, this program addresses hard questions that face the financial services industry and its widely touted "culture of innovation." Columbia Law School Professor Robert J. Jackson, who advised senior U.S. Treasury officials during the 2008 financial crisis, leads the discussion. He elicits thoughtful and often surprising answers from the participants, who include Nobel-winning economist Robert Solow, former Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA), journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin (author of Too Big to Fail), and Bloomberg columnist Caroline Baum. Also featured are Blythe Masters, head of global commodities at JPMorgan Chase; Ed Conard, former managing director at Bain Capital; and Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. A lively and in-depth exchange of ideas, the forum examines both the perils of pushing the financial envelope and the potential benefits of new financial tools. Includes bonus interview footage with Lew Kaden, former Vice Chairman of Citigroup.
