BONUS PODCAST: Economics with Subtitles - How Buying Cocaine Helps the Government

The surprising story of GDP and whether it's time to change how we measure our economy

BONUS PODCAST: The Moneybox podcast is on it’s summer holiday but fear not, for the next four weeks, you will get a brand new podcast instead.

Economics with Subtitles is your everyday guide to economics and why you should care. In this edition, Ayeisha and Steve look at how we quantify economic success. Should dodgy drug deals be included? What is Steve’s contribution to GDP? And should we ban people who pinch too many of your crisps?

Producers: Simon Maybin & Phoebe Keane
