Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with author, New York Times columnist and CNBC presenter, Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Sorkin joined us at the Royal Geographical Society to discuss what history can tell us about the future of capitalism. In conversation with editor-in-chief at The Economist, Zanny Minton Beddoes, Sorkin explores the forces behind one of the most consequential financial crashes in modern history and why its lessons still matter today.
