The Economy through Artists' Eyes

Business Daily

Available for over a year

A plethora of creative types show presenter Manuela Saragosa how the arts can inform the business world. Nashville-based fund manager Jon Shayne, who moonlights as country and western singer Merle Hazard, talks Trump, markets and animal spirits. Poet Brian Bilston and documentary film-maker Martin Durkin retell how they were both inspired by the great Brexit debate - but into taking directly opposing positions. And stand-up comedian Radhika Vaz gives her take on how the shock demonetisation of India's economy is no black-and-white issue.
