Download Business Daily meets: Bank of England economists

As part of the Business Daily Meets strand we speak to Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning, senior economists at the Bank of England. They have written a book to help people of all ages get a better understanding of the economy.

They answer questions like ‘Why am I richer than my great-great-grandma?’ and ‘What actually is money?’.

Sam Fenwick talks to them about what The Simpsons can teach us about getting a pay rise, and why you might want to think twice when filling your bag with gobstoppers at the sweet shop.
