Liaquat Ahamed with Michael Schulder

Liaquat Ahamed spent a career in finance as an investment advisor, knowledge that led to his prescient first book, Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World, which won the Pulitzer Prize. His just released second book, 1873: The Rothschilds, the First Great Depression, and the Making of the Modern World, named a “Most Anticipated Book of 2026” by Literary Hub, reckons with the first truly global financial crisis that reverberated across history whose fault lines are still felt today. Liaquat will be joined in conversation with Michael Schulder, a former CNN Producer and founder of Wavemaker, a podcast where “curiosity meets hope”.
