Join Professor Perry Mehrling as he discusses the history of international finance, hung on the life and times of Charles P. Kindleberger.

Fascinating talk that tells me so much more about the great Charles Kindleberger and his development as an economist. Looking forward to reading the book. Thank you Professor Mehrling.
