Lord Turner

Hardtalk meets Lord Turner, who was Chairman of the Financial Services Authority from 2008, until its abolition in March 2013.

Adair Turner, Lord Turner, is a doyen of the UK economic establishment who has concluded that western economies remain dangerously reliant on debt. It might be reassuring if we could put the blame for the financial crash of 2008 on greedy bankers but what if the crisis was much deeper and more structural? Stephen Sackur asks Lord Turner if his solution; printing money to stimulate growth without adding to the debt pile, is credible?
