In this podcast, Dr Roland Meeks, from our Department of Economics, reflects on the shift in mood at this year's World Economic Forum compared with the same event five years ago when there was an urgent need to counter panic and prevent economic collapse. Dr Meeks has been examining how we could come so close to economic disasters with his students at Essex.
