Paul Barry — Alan Bond and the 1980’s: Other People’s Money
"When Alan Bond won the America's Cup in 1983, Australia celebrated and welcomed him as a hero. By 1991, the nation's most famous entrepreneur had become a villain."It's the perfect opening chapter for Wexted's History of Insolvency — our new series examining the defining business collapses and financial failures that shaped the modern corporate landscape. Acclaimed author and journalist Paul Barry wrote the definitive account of how Australia made Bond a hero and why he fell from grace. Paul joins Wexted to share his insights into the financial excesses of the 1980s, and the story of "a boy who longed to see his name in lights, who was desperate to be accepted by the establishment, who wanted to be Sir Alan."
