Raghu assumed charge as the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India on September 4, 2013.  He is on leave from the University of Chicago, where he is the Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the Booth School.

The Leatherbee Lecture series was bequeathed by George H. Leatherbee in 1913 to support lectures by distinguished speakers in business. Raghu is one of the world’s most distinguished scholars in finance, having published in all of the major academic finance journals and written two thought provoking books, Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists (co-authored with Luigi Zingales) and Fault Lines: How Hidden Cracks Still Threaten the World Economy.  Fault Lines won the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award in 2010 and is a must read for those interested in understanding the factors underlying the financial crisis.
