Kirsty and James are away for the bank holiday, but the show must go on. Guest host Polly Trenow is joined by Sarah Lyall, NEF social policy researcher, to talk about how shorter, more flexible hours of work could be transformative for our economy and society.
Next week, Kirsty and James return with the final episode of our six-part Beginner's Guide to Neoliberalism miniseries. Catch up with previous episodes in your podcast app of choice or on SoundCloud: www.soundcloud.com/weeklyeconomicspodcast/sets/neoliberalism
