CEO BREAKFAST TALK SERIES
"THE TROUBLE WITH MARKET"
by Mr Roger Bootle
Internationally Renowned Economist
Speaker's Profile:
Roger Bootle,
one of Europe's most prominent economists
Renowned economist Roger Bootle has had a long and distinguished record of successful forecasting of major events and market movements, often in contrast to the prevailing orthodoxy of the time.

Roger Bootle is also the Economic Adviser to Deloitte, a Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries He was formerly Group Chief Economist of HSBC and, before the change of government, he was appointed one of the Chancellor's panel of Independent Economic Advisers, the so-called "Wise Men".

Roger Bootle studied at Oxford University and then became a Lecturer in Economics at St Anne's College, Oxford. Most of his subsequent career has been spent in the City of London.

He has written many articles and several books on monetary economics. Roger's latest book, The Trouble with Markets, analyses the deep causes of the recent financial crisis and discusses the threats to capitalism arising from it. His previous book, Money for Nothing, correctly anticipated the financial crisis and has been widely acclaimed. This followed the success of The Death of Inflation, published in 1996, which became a best-seller and was subsequently translated into nine languages. Roger is a regular columnist for The Daily Telegraph and appears frequently on television and radio.
CEO BREAKFAST TALK : THE TROUBLE WITH MARKET
  • Is the market always right?
  • Is the economy in 'recovery' or are we heading for a double dip?
  • What will happen to the housing market?
  • Are markets bloated and 'socially useless'?

Roger Bootle on Bloomberg on Britain's monetary and fiscal policy - 3rd March 2010



These are just some of the areas that the City's leading economist Roger Bootle covers in his new book "The Trouble with Markets: Saving Capitalism from Itself in the midst of the greatest economic turmoil the world has known for over 70 years. With his trademark clarity and acerbic wit, Roger Bootle looks in depth at all these areas and offers a serious critique of the "free‐market mindset", but also a plan for radical reform of the system and a way out of the current economic mess that will lay a pathway for saving capitalism from itself.

    "This challenging and provocative book is essential reading for every corporate executive and business owner. It poses fundamental questions about what it is that makes a market economy tick and it tackles the thorny moral aspects of the role of business in society. After you have read it, your thinking about business in society will never be the same again."
    John Connolly, Chief Executive, Deloitte LLP

    "Compelling prescriptions from an economist unusually able to speak with authority - because unlike most of his peers, Bootle spotted that the boom was unsustainable.""
    Robert Peston, BBC Business Editor

    "In his last book, Money For Nothing, Roger Bootle predicted with great accuracy the property crash and subsequent financial crisis. In The Trouble With Markets, he offers us a way out of the almighty mess that excessive debt created. It should be made compulsory reading for all policymakers."
    Jeff Randall, Daily Telegraph's editor-at-large.

    "An excellent explanation of what led to the 'Great Implosion''... what marks this book out is the admirable care that Bootle has taken to address concerns that a reader who is new to the topic might have. Bootle is also diligent in shooting down some of the most common canards that have flapped their way through the crisis. A clear and cogent guide to the problems - and the solutions - that lie ahead."
    Financial Times

    "Roger Bootle knows how markets work, and also when they don't work. Everyone who wants a real understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the market economy should read this book."
    John Kay, Financial Times columnist, visiting professor at the London School of Economics

    "A brilliant book that puts markets in stunning perspective. Once again, Roger Bootle tackles, head on, some of the toughest economic questions of our time. An extraordinarily penetrating and absorbing analysis."
    Sir Brian Pitman, Former Chairman, Lloyds TSB Group and Senior Advisor to Morgan Stanley

    "Roger Bootle's "The Trouble with Markets: Saving Capitalism from Itself" impresses in style, substance and courage. Hope that the Lucases read and respond, the young quants listen and learn and the CEOs and risk managers comprehend and transpose. Roger's next book ought to address how co-regulation should take shape and look like. Hope he doesn't wait too long!"
    Prof. Dr. Norbert Walter, Chief Economist of Deutsche Bank Group and CEO of Deutsche Bank Research

    "Roger Bootle is one of the best interpreters of modern capitalism around. This account of the crisis and what it means is as important as it is accessible. I hope his conclusions are taken on board by all those taking decisions about Britain's future."
    Will Hutton, Executive Vice Chair, The Work Foundation
