Contributor(s): Darryl Cunningham | An illustrated lecture by graphic journalist Darryl Cunningham based on his new book, Supercrash: How To Hijack The Global Economy, which traces the roots of our age of selfishness, the origins of the 2008 financial crisis and its consequences. He discusses who was to blame and how they got clean away with it. Darryl Cunningham (AcmeDarryl) is a cartoonist whose speciality is graphic journalism, investigating hard hitting topics in comic book form. He is the author of the highly acclaimed Psychiatric Tales and Science Tales, shortlisted for the British Comic Awards 2012: Best Book. Darryl’s latest book Supercrash: How to Hijack the Global Economy, a bullish analysis of our economic world - and what makes us tick, is published by Myriad. Danny Quah (@DannyQuah) is Director of the Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre and Professor of Economics and International Development at LSE. Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies, the annual LSE photo prize competition, the LSE Literary Festival and artist-in-residence projects.
