Diseases of Finance by Jacqueline Perlaki

In this recorded session, you’ll explore “Diseases of Finance” by Jacqueline Perlaki as a clear-eyed study of what makes money systems fall ill: structural fragilities, behavioural bias, and the systemic risks that turn ordinary cycles into crises. Rather than treating crashes as one-off dramas, this webinar frames them as symptoms of deeper dysfunction—where bubbles, credit expansion, speculation, regulatory failure, and collective psychology combine into a familiar pattern.

You’ll come away with sharper language and frameworks for recognising how financial systems overheat, why leverage magnifies instability, how market manias spread through psychological contagion, and what governance breakdowns often precede turmoil. It’s an inviting, analytical deep-dive for anyone ready to move beyond surface narratives and understand finance through a structural and behavioural lens.
