This is one of those episodes where we talk about EVERYTHING.  Populism, Climate Change, Crypto Currencies, Inflation, GREENflation, Bad Carbon Politics, Prosecco , the success or failure of the Euro, why growth isn't evenly spread around countries and Scottish independence!

We are bloody delighted to join us on the show this week Professor Mark Blyth. Mark is a Professor of International and Public Affairs at Brown University, and the director of the William R. Rhodes Centre for International Economics and Finance. Mark has written some fantastic books most notably, Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea, and Angrynomics.

Mark is one of the authors that radicalized Andrew into politics, so it's safe to say he's pretty excited about this episode.
