The Problem of The Twelve
Manage episode 386910113 series 3374294
No, it's not a novel by GK Chesterton; it's the takeover of the world's investment markets by a sinister posse of giant passive fund managers and private equity firms. These now possess the sort of political and economic power that would have made John Rockefeller green with envy. We talk to John Coates, professor at Harvard Law School and author of a new book on "The Twelve", about Blackstone, BlackRock and the rest; where the threat lies and how we should manage it.
Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.
With John Coates.
Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
