Edward Chancellor in conversation with Mónica Jaramillo

Cartagena 2025, 

Edward Chancellor (United Kingdom) is a financial historian, journalist and investment strategist. His articles have been published in outlets including the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. Here he presents The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest, which tells the story of the economy up to our own times. This work of non-fiction, winner of the Hayek Award for best book of 2023, is inspired by the conviction that the artificial reduction of interest rates has created many of our current problems, including the rise of populism. In conversation with Mónica Jaramillo.
