About this Event
Join us for the launch of Robin Wigglesworth's new book, A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World. From medieval Venice to the trillion-dollar portfolios of BlackRock, Robin's sweeping history reveals how bonds quietly built the world we live in, funding everything from the Crusades to today's AI data centers. This is a rare chance to hear directly from the author, digging into the colourful characters, financiers, and fraudsters who shaped the modern financial system. A copy of A Fabulous Debt is included with your ticket.
