The Ascent of Money—Sponsored by T. Rowe Price

 

Webinar Hosted by Best-Selling Author Niall Ferguson

On November 24, 2009, T. Rowe Price sponsored a live Webinar on WNET featuring Niall Ferguson, a respected financial historian, Harvard professor, and best-selling author of The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World. The interactive Webinar was an extension of the T. Rowe Price-sponsored TV series “The Ascent of Money.”

During the online discussion, Ferguson talks about the economic crisis of the past year and answers questions submitted by participants in a frank and thoughtful way, providing context and insight into the connections of a complex and ever-evolving global economy.

At T. Rowe Price, having a comprehensive understanding of these interdependencies is essential when making the best possible investment decisions for our clients. And we believe that our distinctive culture of collaboration across the globe has been instrumental in helping us to intelligently balance risk and reward for long-term success.

Audio Interview With Ferguson

The following audio clips are from an interview conducted with Ferguson on October 14, 2009.

According to Ferguson, we've just lived through a very near rerun of the Great Depression.
Unlike the Great Depression, Ferguson thinks what began as a financial crisis in the U.S. spread throughout the world due to greater globalization.
To avoid making the same mistakes, Ferguson talks about a complete regulatory overhaul of the U.S. financial system.
As the world emerges from the financial crisis, Ferguson believes investors in the U.S. and abroad will see a changing fiscal and monetary landscape.
