Why is Britain in such a state? Plain English answers and solutions with Andrew Craig

EP 352 - In a very timely episode, with our politicians talking
about growth, budgets and black holes, we talk to author,
investor and founder of Plain English Finance Andrew Craig about:


> How Britain has shot itself in the foot through a series of
dreadful regulations.


> Why the awful state of the British economy is a function of
the parlous state of the British stock market.


> How improving overall financial literacy could help that.


We don’t actually talk about black holes, but we suspect that one
might be created somehow if Andrew ever met our previous guest
Gary Stevenson in a pub.
