About this Talk
Businessman and former Lord Mayor of London Michael Mainelli joins us for a fascinating conversation on what emerging jurisdictions can learn from the City of London: the centuries-old autonomous financial district with its own governance structures and deep traditions of market-based regulation. Known for its unique legal status and continuity, the City offers valuable lessons on how commercial self-governance and voluntary standards can complement or even outperform top-down regulation.
