Bankers and Economists Under Media Scrutiny
As the global landscape becomes increasingly volatile, understanding how different regions manage risks and crises is crucial. The 2024 CERALE-UdeSA Colloquium on “Risk and Crisis Management in a Changing World” brought together researchers, policymakers, and business leaders from Europe and Latin America to discuss how the public and private sectors can respond to these challenges. Organized by the Centre for Studies and Research on Latin America and Europe (CERALE) at ESCP Business School and Universidad de San Andrés, this event highlighted key insights into managing uncertainty through innovation and investment.

From the Great Depression to the Great Recession and from the impact of COVID-19 to the era of Brexit and Donald Trump's presidency, the book delves into how financial crises have shaped the global economy. The authors also highlight the pivotal role of cooperative banks in transforming the banking sector, driven by and for customers.
An Inspiring Quote from Charles Gide
The book opens with a powerful quote from Charles Gide, one of the founders of the Banques populaires and the first university professor of economics in France, emphasising the importance of cooperative efforts to provide credit to the underprivileged. This sets the stage for the authors' reflection on the role of banks in society.
