Chris Berg on the History of Banking Regulation: "At the centre of almost every major political movement that defined Australian history"
Why have banks been central to Australian political history?
On Afternoon Light #192 Georgina Downer speaks with Chris Berg on the history of banking regulation. A topic that is far-more engaging than it sounds, as it helped to shape the emergence and attitudes of both of our major political parties. As banks have been the central issue around which the clash over government involvement in the economy has been fought.
