Dr Mark Carney takes us back to the high drama of the global financial crash of 2008, which ended a period when bankers saw themselves as unassailable masters of the universe. More than a decade on, how much have the bankers changed their ways? How far has the financial sector changed?

Carney says that we must remain vigilant and resist the 'three lies of finance'. If we don’t, he warns, we will live with a system which is ill-prepared for the next crisis.
