The latest edition of Merryn Talks Money is out. Author and financial historian Edward Chancellor discusses his most recent book, The Price of Time, and warns that we haven’t seen the last of the damage done by the era of zero interest rates — not by a long shot. Chancellor wrote one of my favourite financial history books (Devil Take The Hindmost) and he’s always worth listening to. Get the episode on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
