The excess of life insurance
Helsinki Cathedral Dome
Dr Luis Lobo-Guerrero delivered a keynote address at the conference 'Economisation of Uncertainty' that took place at the University of Helsinki on the 16-17 June, 2011. The presentation was entitled 'The Capitalisation of Vital Excess through Life Insurance'.
It addressed the need to open up the practices of power involved in life insurance underwriting to scrutiny by making them explicit within a democratic environment. The paper was an advanced version of an article to be published in the context of the Leverhulme Trust funded project 'Capitalising Security Through Life Insurance in the UK' (2011-2012).
