Teaser - PTO Extra! A recession like no other w/ James Meadway

Britain is officially in its deepest recession since records began
following the unprecedented economic shutdown in response to the
Covid19 pandemic. In the past six months, the UK has shed close to
three quarters of a million jobs - a grim foretaste of what could
be the kind of mass unemployment not seen in the UK since the
1980s. PTO spoke to James Meadway about why Britain's recession is
more severe than those faced by comparable economies, whether
central bank economic crisis fighting measures may lay the basis
for a financial crisis, and why the Government could be forced to
extend the furlough scheme beyond the autumn. Become a PTO
