Richard Collins discovers why Margaret Thatcher was so taken with The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, speaking to supermarket chairman Edwin Booth and the BBC's Stephanie Flanders.
Richard Collins reveals the links between the worlds of business and Beatrix Potter.
Margaret Thatcher famously held Ginger & Pickles to be the only business book worth reading. Not only an instructive manual in cornershop economics, this deceptively simple tale of a shopkeeping cat and dog also turns out to be a blueprint for how to wreck an entire economy. With Supermarket chairman Edwin Booth and BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders.
Dramatised scenes written by John Peacock. Directed by Celia de Wolff.
A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
