  • Summary

  • Based in Edinburgh, with branches in Switzerland and India, the Library of Mistakes is a free public library designed to improve understanding of finance (and life in general), one mistake at a time. In this podcast series the Library's Keeper, Professor Russell Napier, speaks to authors of some of the most interesting books in the ever-expanding collection exploring insights into finance, business, society and human nature. Fascinating, educational and often rather funny.
    Produced and edited by Fraser Allen (www.allencomms.co.uk)

As a result, humanity is at a major turning point, and how we respond to the merger of technology and financialisation will decide our future. Are we heading for "enlightened communism" or "despotic feudalism"? Russell Napier quizzes Viktor Shvets on his throught-provoking book The Twilight Before The Storm.
