John Lanchester's fabulous piece in this week's New Yorker inspired this panel. His point is that the jargon of finance is harder than most industries' jargons, and yet it's vital that lay people try to learn it. Otherwise we cede enormous power to a small group of insiders. So how do we become literate? How do we learn the language of money? This we will try to make sense of with our panel:
Amit Batabyal, RIT professor of economics
John Ninfo, retired judge and consumer advocate
George Conboy, Brighton Securities
Rob Bradley, NorthLanding Financial Partners
