Today’s guest are Mervyn King and Ed Smith.

Lord Mervyn King, Baron King of Lothbury, was formerly Governor of the Bank of England and is an Expert Lecturer at the Institute of Sports Humanities (ISH). 

Ed Smith is an author, journalist and former National Selector for England cricket. As a professional cricketer, he played for Kent, Middlesex & England and is the Founder of ISH.

The conversation builds on the themes of Mervyn’s book, Radical Uncertainty: Decision Making for an Unknowable Future.
