The 2008 Charkham lecture

The second Charkham lecture, titled "Corporate governance in an era of multiple capital suppliers and exotic capital instruments", was delivered in London yesterday by Professor Ira M Millstein (Senior Associate Dean for Corporate Governance at the Yale School of Management). A transcript is available here. The lecture was hosted by the UK's Financial Reporting Council and is held annually in honour of the late Jonathan Charkham.

Prof. Millstein's lecture surveyed the development of corporate governance over the past 20 years and explained several governance issues arising from the structure of today's capital markets. In his view, we are on the threshold of unfamiliar territory.
