Business Daily meets: Bank of England economists

Senior Bank of England economists Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning demystify economics, answering questions such as –‘How do I get a pay rise?’ And ‘Why do my sweets cost more?’

As part of the Business Daily Meets strand we speak to Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning, senior economists at the Bank of England. They have written a book to help people of all ages get a better understanding of the economy.

They answer questions like ‘Why am I richer than my great-great-grandma?’ and ‘What actually is money?’.

Sam Fenwick talks to them about what The Simpsons can teach us about getting a pay rise, and why you might want to think twice when filling your bag with gobstoppers at the sweet shop.
