The Bailout
Three key decision makers discuss how they handled the global financial crisis.
Ten years ago, in the course of just a few months, Wall Street was brought to its knees, almost dragging the global economy down with it. For the first time together in public since 2008, we hear from the three men who tried to hold back the tide.
US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, and New York Fed chair Tim Geithner describe what it was like as some of the world's biggest banks crumbled around them, and reveal how close things came to collapse. And, as the impact of the crash continues to be felt today, they discuss the lessons learnt, and their biggest regrets.
Presented by Kai Ryssdal.
