Episode notes

It's arguably the most important number in world history, and one that drives almost all our main economic decisions. But how is the interest rate set, and (more importantly) have we been setting it wrong in recent years, to the detriment of our economies? We discuss interest rates from Babylon to QE with economic historian and author Edward Chancellor.

Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.

With Edward Chancellor.

Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
