Thapar asks him if the government made serious mistakes in their handling of Anna Hazare and his protest against corruption. Khurshid who adeptly handles this hostile interview says, "What we did may not have turned out to be as it would, maybe our anticipation and calculation turned out to be not what we thought it would be, but I'm not prepared to admit that we made mistakes."

| | EXPERT VIEWS |
| | "I think we have done a little bit to bring about more uniform kind of regulations in this (NBFC), because when you look at the activity of, margin financing, there are regulations by SEBI on stockbrokers, there are regulations by banks on margin financing. But the regulations on NBFCs for margin financing were not there."
Usha Thorat
Director, Centre For Advanced Financial Research And Learning "The global economy continues to grow, yet not enough. Some of the main causes of the 2008 crisis have been addressed, yet not adequately. There remains a path to recovery, but we do not have the luxury of time. The advanced economies which are struggling must ditch long-term plans for now to bring their debt under control, yet at the same time not introduce austerity measures so fast that it imperils recovery."
Christine Lagarde
IMF Chief "The stereotype reply from economists is that they didn't see the crisis coming because the world had changed. It's very important to have a sense of history in order not to repeat mistakes, at least learn from them. You can never prevent another crisis but at least you can mitigate the chances of a crisis blowing up or indeed if a crisis were to occur you will be well equipped to handle it."
