In conversation with Stefano Gatti: 'Signs of a Bubble'

Stefano Gatti, is the Director of the B.Sc of Economics and Finance at Università Bocconi. On February 5, 2015, I had an opportunity to meet him and discuss his view on Europe and World Economy, while he was in Mumbai giving lectures at the Bocconi MBA institute. 

Though my meeting was initially for a story but since the story was cancelled, I thought of sharing the full interview on this blog. 

He also takes classes for Coursera and he is one of the senior advisor with B Capital Partners. Given below is the full transcript of that meeting.
