About this listen

Host Ryan Cole examines the hidden mathematics of financial contagion through adjacency matrices — the network maps revealing how risk spreads between banks. Using 2008's Lehman collapse as a case study, he explores counterintuitive research showing that more connections between institutions can sometimes reduce systemic risk, not increase it. The episode challenges "too big to fail" logic, arguing position in the network matters more than size, and warns that regulators navigate blind without complete visibility into these invisible webs of interconnected risk.
