BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Financial Crisis: Philip Coggan, Angela Knight, Maurice Glasman and Detlev Schlichter

Andrew Marr with Detlev Schlichter, Angela Knight, Maurice Glasman and Philip Coggan.

Andrew Marr talks about the financial crisis with Detlev Schlichter, Philip Coggan, Angela Knight and Lord Glasman.

Andrew Marr looks for solutions to the current global crisis. Detlev Schlichter dismisses the practice of printing more money in times of recession, arguing that in the next decade our reliance on paper money will collapse, and he proposes a return to hard commodities, like gold. The historian Philip Coggan pits creditors against debtors, tax payers against public sector workers, and believes it's time for a new monetary system to emerge. The Labour peer, Lord Glasman thinks we need to change the relationship between parliament and the market. And Angela Knight sticks up for the bankers, insisting they hold the key to the crisis, so deserve both a bonus and a bit of respect.
Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
