After 25 years of almost unbroken growth, the world’s economies hit the buffers in 2008. The balance sheets of banks, institutions and countries were laid bare. What were the underlying causes of the crisis and what lessons can we learn? Looking through the lens of international development, Clive Mather will consider the impact on those trapped by poverty and disaster.  How could we use the crisis to the advantage of the world’s poor?
