David Baddiel Tries to Understand - The IMF

Download The IMF

David Baddiel tries to understand what the International Monetary Fund actually does.

He starts by speaking to the former Chancellor, Alastair Darling, and rapidly discovers that he might first need a quick course on basic macroeconomics. But even once he's got through that, can he figure out what this very opaque-seeming international body is and does?

Producer: Giles Edwards.
