Comments on Professor Kevin Dowd on the lessons of the financial crisis

Thank you for confirming that there will be a video. Unfortunately I'm going to be hanging around the "trough" further up the road tomorrow evening at a House of Lords event to showcase my university and how it can help create social goods - and one of the things I will be pushing if I get the chance is some of my ideas for local alternative banking mechanisms to help mutually rescue our hinterland at this time. So whilst I would love to be there in person as it is an area that has long interested me, I will be very grateful for the video.

Where should I look for this video when it is put up on the internet?

If it's unknown as of yet, could it be posted in a fresh blog post once it's up?

Thanks.

I'll be there tonight with notebook and pen for a spot of reporting on the talk and the Q&A.

JP - Good. I meant to email you about this, to make sure someone reported on this lecture having actually heard it.

I understand that there will be a written out text, but only rather later.

SL - I will put up another posting here (unless someone else already has) just as soon as the video of this event is available and linkable to.

Interesting how the fuddy-duddy old lecture format has received a whole new lease of life thanks to the www. Time was when the only person you could ever watch just lecturing on a screen (minus any expensive visual diversions about "civilisation" etc.) was AJP Taylor.

Can we have the video uploaded ASAP - like when it is news. Please.

Alas, but for obscure reasons Mac and some Linux users cannot use push-button formatting options and have to use basic html manually. Revealed forthwith are the mysteries of basic Html:

<strong>This text in-between is bold</strong>

<em>This text is in italics</em>
