About the event
Debt has been a central theme in economic history, from ancient civilisations to modern governments. This session will explore the role of debt in shaping economies and how excessive borrowing can lead to financial crises. What lessons can we learn from history about managing debt, and are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes? We’ll look at case studies from past financial disasters and discuss what governments, businesses, and individuals can do to avoid falling into the debt trap.Â
