Join us the week before the UK budget for a timely and insightful talk by Roger Bootle—one of Britain’s most respected economists.

Roger Bootle is widely regarded as one of the City of London’s preeminent economic thinkers, combining intellectual rigor with clear, practical insight. He is the Founder and Chairman of Capital Economics, a former Group Chief Economist at HSBC, and was one of Kenneth Clarke’s panel of “Wise Men.” In 2012, he won the prestigious Wolfson Economics Prize — the second most valuable after the Nobel for his ground-breaking proposals on coping with the break-up of the eurozone.

Bootle’s reputation is built on a remarkable record of anticipating seismic shifts in the economy: he foresaw the UK’s exit from the ERM in 1992, warned about the dot-com collapse, predicted both the global financial crisis and the credit crunch, and identified the property bubble before it burst. His bestselling books, including The Death of Inflation, The Trouble with Markets, Money for Nothing, and his recent The AI Economy, continue to influence debate among policymakers, businesses, and the wider public. He also writes regularly for The Daily Telegraph.

Expect a forthright diagnosis of today’s economic turmoil and clear, actionable solutions for setting the UK back on the right path—delivered with the insight of someone who has consistently been ahead of the curve.
