Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorrenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with author, New York Times columnist and CNBC presenter Andrew Ross Sorkin. Ross Sorkin joined us at Conway Hall to discuss the lessons of the 1929 financial crash. and how that era of political instability and market turmoil eerily mirrors today.
In 1929 the world watched as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into freefall, wiping out fortunes and triggering a depression that reshaped a generation. Drawing from his new book, 1929, Andrew Ross Sorkin explores the cycles of speculation, regulatory failure, and economic warning signs that we ignore at our own peril. Let's join our host, Gillian Tett, now with more. Well, thank you very much indeed, and it's fantastic to be here, and it's great to be here.
with somebody who is one of the most prominent media figures in America today. We were chatting earlier and we reckon we've known each other for 23 years. Andrew reckons we first met in probably either London or New York when we were both quite junior financial reporters. And we both went on to carry on writing about finance, myself for the Financial Times, Andrew for the New York Times. He was a New York Times reporter first.
