Episode 154 - BWB Special - Martin Wolf CBE - Chief Economics Commentator

Kicking off 2023 with a very special chat with Martin Wolf CBE, Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times.

Martin has received honorary doctorates from six universities, including the London School of Economics and was awarded the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 2000 for services to financial journalism. Martin's also won a raft of awards including the 2019 Gerald Loeb Lifetime Achievement Award and was also a member of the UK’s Independent Commission on Banking in 2010-11.

Our 2-part chat with Martin covers a range of topics including discussions about the UK's economic strength and global position - past, present and future, and pose questions like:

Which direction should the UK go in to re-build its industries and innovate?

Will the UK government come up with a realistic, practical and feasible plan to do so?

Should the UK become decentralised and split up into smaller states?

Buckle up and press play.
