Episode notes

In this week's episode, our data and policy reporter Daniel Timms talks about his big weekend read about Manchester's ongoing economic boom. Are the proceeds mainly going to property developers and the wealthy - or are the benefits spreading more widely? Daniel has spent the past few weeks digging into lots of data and speaking to leading economists and experts to try to answer that question - and some of his conclusions are surprising. (The episode features a few clips from the BBC documentary Manctopia, and a Radio 4 programme about Manchester's growth).
