BBC World Service - More or Less, Silicon Valley Bank: A very modern bank run

How the story of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is actually a tale as old as finance

After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank sent jitters through the financial system, Duncan Weldon explains how it’s just the latest in the long history of bank runs.

He talks to financial analyst and former banking regulator Dan Davies - author of Lying for Money -  to understand how bank runs happen, and what the repercussions of this very modern bank run might be for the global financial system.
