Hello, welcome to the programme, the first of a new series, and so we thought that given politics at the moment,

the discontent and division, the rise of populist and other outsider forces here and elsewhere,

and given the manifest agreement at the recent party conferences, Labour and Tory,

that capitalism isn't working or isn't quite working for everybody. Given all that, we thought we'd

ask how and whether the economic system should change. It's an unusually ill-defined topic for this

programme. It is also possible there is nothing new to be said on it. But we've heard a lot from

politicians on the need for reform. We've heard a little from politicians on how to reform.

So let's hear from business, three guests who are experienced enough and successful enough

to know where the bodies are all buried. They come from finance, commodities trading and the tech

world, and let's meet them now. First up, Helena Morrissey, head of personal investing at

legal and general investment management. Helena, you are an interesting city person because you

were actually quite a prominent Brexiteer. You having any second thoughts about that?

No, it may not have gone according to plan, but no, I mean, the reasons for me to support,

or at least think the country could do very well outside the EU is because I think the world is moving in a different direction from command and control, from things happening very remotely from people.

And I really did think, and still do, that actually we need to have much more control over and own destiny.

We need to localise decision-making more, not just at the national

level, but at the city and regional level too. So now, that's quite a big philosophical point.

It is, and it's a big topic. It may enter our discussion, although we are hoping that this isn't

a Brexit program, just because there's a lot more to talk about. You've actually also been a big and a sort of veteran supporter of change when it comes to women on board because you were the founder of the so-called 30% club.

Tell us about that.

So that started in 2010, really in the aftermath of the financial crisis, when there was this moment of humility, I think, as best way to describe it, particularly in the city,

that clearly would have the failure of lots of banks.
