About this episode
<p>The Rolling Stones once sang ‘You can’t always get what you want but sometimes you get what you need’ and when it comes to a rhyming history of economics, the Rolling Stones knew their stuff!!! In this special from your friendly neighbourhood economists, Pete and Gav, they blast off in a time travelling machine to visit some of the greatest economists of our time. Along the way, they muse on some of the contemporary issues in economics and deliver some rip-roaringly bad accents. Make sure you listen closely as there is a quiz at the end (10 questions of course) to see if you’ve been paying attention. We hope you enjoy it. We decided to leave the recording in its entirety so you can get the feel of what it’s like recording an independent podcast! And for the bantz!! Technical support as always comes from the real brains of the organisation Nic.<br></p>
