About the Lecture
The amazing fragility that the banking system had been regulated into, and the inability to recognize this in time, explain the global financial crisis. This, in turn, revealed massive but unavoidable cognitive failures of regulators and bankers. Since these implications are not yet fully recognized, remedies after the global financial crisis are still increasing fragility and possibly already setting the stage for the next crisis. Mistakes were made both in regulation and deregulation. Alternative governance models that recognize the cognitive challenges posed by complexity and fallibility may give us a more resilient financial system.
