In 2010, he appeared on the Analysis program to discuss banking reform. Lawson explained that the 2007–2012 global financial crisis was an unintended consequence of the 1986 Big Bang after investment banks merged with high street banks putting depositors' savings at risk.
Lawson has also appeared on the Business News Network in Canada to discuss global warming.
Lawson is known for having coined several notable quotations, including "o govern is to choose. To appear to be unable to choose is to appear to be unable to govern."

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
