Episode 152

This week we look at the future of Brexit and Donald Trump’s election victory, both of which have sent unprecedented volatility coursing through international markets, and rocked the British economy as well.

Is Sterling up or down and what does that mean; are the international markets crashing, burning, or booming, and should we care; does Donald Trump really intend to both massively increase spending and implement massive tax cuts, while ditching trade deals worldwide at the same time? Whichever way you look at it, there is no doubt that the kaleidoscope has been shaken and the pieces are still in flux.

In this very special economics edition, we invite a very special guest who has occupied all the commanding heights of financial journalism in Britain, from The Times to the Evening Standard. City editor supreme and captain of capitalist journalism Anthony Hilton hops aboard Sputnik this week.
