Doou Thik. I Wanted to Be an Economist

When you're at the bank of england, you get seconded to the united states. You go and work in the british embassy in washington d c. This was just post nine 11, it was. The reason why the secombment was available was because the government wanted to up their capacity there. One of them was its economic analysis. And so i had the privilege, really, of working at the embassy and trying to understand what was going on in the us economy.
