Money
Mark discusses his own experiences of being poor and quite well-off and how each impacted his personality. From 2014.
Mark Watson attempts to answer more big questions and make sense of life.
He's assisted by Tim Key and Tom Basden.
This time, Mark investigates money.
These days it's quite unfashionable to like money. People get demonised for having high salaries. Bankers are seen as bad guys. Less-is-more philosophies abound, yet they are flawed - mathematically, more is actually more. Is it so bad to try and get rich?
Mark probes the corrupting influence of money and the harm it does versus the good impact it can have, and weigh them up. Mark discusses his own experiences of being poor and quite well-off and how each impacted his personality.
Is money really the root of all evil?
Or a useful way of buying things like Polo mints, fruit, etc?
