Business Daily meets: Bank of England economists

Senior Bank of England economists Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning demystify economics, answering questions such as 鈥撯�楬ow do I get a pay rise?鈥� And 鈥榃hy do my sweets cost more?鈥�

As part of the Business Daily Meets strand we speak to Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning, senior economists at the Bank of England. They have written a book to help people of all ages get a better understanding of the economy.

They answer questions like 鈥榃hy am I richer than my great-great-grandma?鈥� and 鈥榃hat actually is money?鈥�.

Sam Fenwick talks to them about what The Simpsons can teach us about getting a pay rise, and why you might want to think twice when filling your bag with gobstoppers at the sweet shop.
