Acton Acton, welcome to We Have Ways to Make You Talk with me, Almarie and with James

Holland of course.

Jim, who are we talking to today?

We've got a guest and I expect at some point my head might hurt talking about this subject

because it's that part of sort of, I don't know, sociological thinking and stuff.

Economic, so.

Yes, exactly.

I'm trying to side-lock to it without, without...

I'm just going to be brazen and blunt.

Yeah, no, I, as you know, I mean, you know, we talked about this a number of times and

you mentioned it the other day.

You know, we don't just need historians, we need people who can give us different

perspectives on the war, which is why of course we've come to the economic guru that is Duncan

Weldon, you know, political advisor, journalist, news, nights, economic and business editor back

in the day and an all-around economist.

Well, an author of 200 years of muddling through the surprising story of Britain's economy

from Boone to Boston back.

So I'm expecting some muddling through Duncan in the history of the Second World War.

But, yeah, the economy in the war, that's what we want to talk about.

Well, yeah, thanks for the introduction.

If you haven't put all of the listeners off already, we'll try and get them back on board.
