Season 1
Episode 1006
Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Productivity in Britain is down – is an army of middlemen partly to blame? Ros Taylor sits down with Giles Wilkes, senior fellow at the Institute for Government, to find out why we need to cut back on what he labels ‘crud’ to revitalise our economy.
- “Crud is artificial capitalism.”
- “The Conservatives did a lot of damage in the 80s and are now returning to the scene of the crime and asking who did this?”
Written and presented by Ros Taylor. Producer: Liam Tait. Audio editor: Alex Rees. Managing editor: Jacob Jarvis. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
