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.
