Muddy Waters Capital founder and high-profile short-seller Carson Block will appear on Barron's Live on 7 September to chat about the formidable rise of meme-stock investors, the boom in ESG investing, and how he spots frauds in China.

Block rose to fame in 2011, when his critical reports of Sino-Forest, a Canadian timber company, led to one of the biggest securities fraud cases in history. He has published other notable reports since, across the US, China and Europe.
