International Conference
Trust and Integrity in the Global Economy (TIGE): Cultivating Knowledge - Generating Action
Dates: 11 July – 16 July, 2008
As the global economy and financial markets reel under the impact of the recent subprime crisis, causing losses of billions of dollars for banks and financial institutions, resulting in loss of property and work for hundreds of thousands of people - we have to ask, “How do we finance a secure world?” “Who is accountable when things go wrong?” “How are decisions made?” It is against the backdrop of these critical questions that we meet in Caux for the ‘Trust & Integrity in the Global Economy’ conference starting on 11 July 2008.
One of the keynote speakers at the conference, Raymond Baker, author of ‘Capitalism’s Achilles Heel’ will shed light on some sobering aspects of international financial transactions. Baker, is a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington.
