When is the next big crash? In conversation with Linda Yueh

When is the next big crash? In conversation with Linda Yueh

Nick Spencer speaks with economist Linda Yueh 07/11/2023

Or is there? How can you spot a crash coming? What should you do about it when it descends on us? And how can we respond so that, even if we can’t banish them forever, we can limit their frequency and impact?

In this week’s episode, Nick Spencer speaks to Linda Yueh about her book The Great Crashes: Lessons from Global Meltdowns and How to Prevent Them
