Blast of Past Wisdom: In Conversation with Martin Wolf CBE

EP 356 - We are doing some hefty metaphorical redecorating at BWB
at the moment (remodelling for our American friends). That means
that we will be using the next few weeks to look back into our
catalogue and republish some choice episodes. Conversations that
we think are as relevant today as they were when they were first
released. 


First up Martin Wolf CBE - Associate Editor and Chief Economics
Commentator at the FT.


We kicked off 2023 talking to Martin about the state of the
Nation and his thinking will give you a helpful lens to hold up
to UK current events such as the budget, democratic reform and
how our future is shaped by the economic choices that we make
now.


And Martin's keen eyed analysis and clear headed assessment of
the current state and future of the British Economy, Political
Realm and our role in the world when it comes to trade is as
relevant now as when we first sat down in 2023.
