Gilbert, Paul Robert (2018) ‘Political Risk’, Imperial nostalgia & technologies of the imagination. [Show/Exhibition]

Full text not available from this repository.

Abstract

One of the oldest firms in the City of London, and a pillar of modern finance throughout its history, is Lloyd's insurance. In this presentation, Paul Gilbert explores how the firm's growth was based in part on the transatlantic slave trade, and the way that these colonial legacies continue to shape the way the financial realm measures and manages risk in the international field. It was originally recorded at the Cornhill Water Pump located right beside the historic London Stock Exchange and in the shadow of Lloyd's iconic skyscraper.
