Writer Lucy Mangan selects five different economic remedies from literature to see if she can find a solution to Britain's economy. In this witty and enlightening series, she uses her extensive personal library to help economists out.

In this the third programme in the series, she re-reads Mark Twain's short story The Million Pound Bank Note, and talks to Bob Swarup and Andrew Sentance about what literary fiction can contribute to the debate on economic recovery.
