Why you should watch: Andy Haldane counts... He is one of the few economists or central bankers who can genuinely move markets. Here, he offers his views on the current state of monetary and fiscal policy, the dangers of inflation, the impact of the pandemic on inequality and on the possibility of a 'kinder, gentler' form of capitalism - which might include more scope for industrial policy. Plus, FinTech and the role of a post-Covid, post-Brexit City - as well as his own agenda for the new role at the RSA.
