On September 30 2010 Macmillan is publishing a book called Crisis and
Recovery by the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, and
Larry Elliott, economics editor of The Guardian. In the book they argue
that the financial crisis is about more than money. It is also about
morality, casting an uncomfortable light on the links between the
activities of bankers and the wellbeing of society as a whole. The idea
that economics is morally neutral or that finance should be above
ethical scrutiny deserves to be challenged.

Crisis and Recovery brings together a group of distinguished
commentators including Phillip Blond, Will Hutton and Jon Cruddas to
open up the ethical debate in the search for a fairer vision of economic
justice. Press release attached. Phillip Blond of ResPublica and
co-editor Larry Elliott are both available for interviews on the book.

In a special panel event covering the themes of the book on 28 September
to celebrate the launch of Crisis and Recovery, the archbishop will be
joined by co-author Larry Elliott; Zac Goldsmith MP and Lord Robert
Skidelsky and the debate will be chaired by Madeleine Bunting. The
debate will be will be filmed and streamed live on the internet by
Intelligence Squared with a Twitter and Facebook Q&A thus making it free
for all and available to online viewers. For more details
