Antara Haldar & Rupal Patel in conversation with Henry Mance - Gower St
About this Event
Join us with Antara Haldar and Rupal Patel, in conversation with Henry Mance, to explore the past, present and possible futures of economics.
Everyman is a bold retelling of the story of capitalism that treats the core concepts of economics as living, breathing beings, blending fiction and fact to upend 250 years of economic orthodoxyFor 250 years, a ghostly hand – bloodied and invisible – has scripted our lives. We call it economics. Telling its story like never before, Everyman makes this phantom force truly visible for the first time.
Money: The Inside Story - The Bank of England know more about the money system than most – after all, it is their job to keep it running smoothly. Now, for the first time, two of its economists take you deep into their vaults to tell you the inside story of money.
Every morning, someone unassumingly types numbers into a spreadsheet, hits enter and creates millions of pounds. Somewhere deep underground, a machine most of us will never see props up the entire British economy. And hidden in a vault nearby are individual banknotes worth £100 million each. These are just some of the surprising truths about how money works.
