Inflation, MMT and the folly of a centrally planned economy

Merryn and John talk about the chancellor's stamp duty holiday and wealth taxes in general; the trouble with economies planned by politicians (and how to prepare for the burst of inflation that inevitably follows); plus, the return to the office and the importance of casual conversations.

As mentioned in this week's podcast, if you haven’t already registered to watch Merryn’s upcoming webinar with James Dow, co-manager of Baillie Gifford’s Scottish American Investment Company (Saints), all about where to find the most resilient dividend payers around the world right now, then make sure you do – sign up here (it’s free).
