Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. On the show today, Tim Harford, the Financial Times columnist and best-selling author. He presents the BBC radio series, more or less, and his writing has appeared in Esquire, Forbes, New York magazine, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
His latest book is How to Make the World Add Up, and his previous books include The Undercover Economist, The Logic of Life and Adapt. Tim joined us recently at London's Tabernacle Theatre for the final installment of our 2024 Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook series in partnership with Guinness Global Investors. For those who don't know, Guinness Global Investors is an independent British fund manager that helps both individuals and institutions harness the drivers of future growth to achieve their investment goals. Tim Harford sat down with BBC broadcaster Johnny Diamond to interrogate what the numbers are really telling us about the economy and what those numbers tell us about what lies ahead.
