S2Ep1 Extra: Why do we trust banks?
(with 2Ser’s Think: Business Futures)
History Lab’s S2Ep1: The Bank, the Sergeant and his Bonus raised so many questions for Jason and Nicole that they’ve made another episode with 2SER’s Think: Business Futures podcast, asking: why do we trust banks?
They speak with Harry Scheule, Professor of finance, about how and why banks operate on trust and how that has changed since the Royal Commission into banking.
Harry is a member of the Retail Banking Council of FINSIA and occasional advisor to the financial service industry including banks, banking regulators and government. More information on Harry’s research can be found on the UTS website
2SER’s Think: Business Futures is produced by Jason L’Ecuyer and hosted by the UTS Business School’s Nicole Sutton and David Brown.
History Lab is a collaboration between the Australian Centre for Public History at the University of Technology Sydney and 2SER 107.3
