One of the books of the year, and great to meet on of your journalistic heroes. The book is a very important book of our time, relating to all things autism and music. The Kraftwerk chapter is very emotional, @johnharris1969.bsky.social

Great episode, where Martin Lewis is doing the job that the government is failing to do. Calling out the regulators and private monopolies that are ripping us off daily. Why isn’t Rachel Reeves doing this? @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

Raúl Prebisch? Just reading about him in, and don’t teach it for AQA, but have heard of his theory, but do teach it as a bit of an extension, so, if it is him, will be good to get a full story.
Although, the chapter in this book is outstanding, as is the whole book

Unless Reeves and Starmer start to tackle inflation they will be out at the next election. Currently reading about Joan Robinson in this book, and she was right about monopolies back then, and still right now. Low wages, high prices and supernormal profits is not a healthy way to run an economy.

Finished it now, and a superb balanced listen. I like the section on your admiration of her pursuit of ideology, so far away from the current government Also, reading this book, and you admire her personal fighting spirit, after the Brighton Bomb, regardless of the politics

With food inflation on the rise, a must read book on how the global food supply chain is now being dominated by a few big monopolies. But let’s blame the MW and the workers for UK food inflation!
