Lord Turner

Lord Turner, doyen of the UK economic establishment, tells Stephen Sackur that the way to achieve economic stability is to print money and stimulate growth.

Stephen Sackur asks Lord Turner if his solution; printing money to stimulate growth without adding to the debt pile, is credible?
