Why The Media Is Looking At Economics All Wrong | James Meadway | Zack Polanski
Bold Politics with Zack PolanskiShow Notes
How are global companies in the middle of supply chains making billions of pounds by profiteering off both the increased cost of living and the impact of climate change on farmers? How does the Bank of England serve owners of commercial banks instead of the British public? What would be the best way for a government to borrow for investment in long term infrastructure without causing investors in British bonds to dump their assets?
Zack Polanski speaks to former economic advisor to John McDonnell and founder of new think tank Verdant, James Meadway.
