Will tax cuts help us get through the winter? Is more borrowing the answer? How effective will the government’s mini-budget be? Should we still be addicted to growth? We speak with Fran Boaite, Executive Director of research and campaign group Positive Money. In this episode:


  • Does trickle-down economics work?
  • Will tax cuts boost the economy as we head into a recession?
  • Why hasn’t the government opted for another windfall tax on energy firms?
  • Do we need to rethink our obsession with GDP growth?
