“The Londongrad Laundromat and its consequences”, with journalist and ‘Moneyland’ author, Oliver Bullough

We are delighted that award-winning journalist and author of Sunday Times Bestseller ‘Moneyland’, Oliver Bullough, gave this year’s Summer Lecture, “The Londongrad Laundromat and its consequences” on Wednesday 12 May via Zoom. Financial Times contributing editor John Lloyd chaired the event. 

It was a fascinating talk followed by an interesting Q&A. In case you missed it, the recording is now available here. We will also shortly be adding a report of the talk to this page.
