New Economic Thinking | What's so Interesting About Interest? @NewEconomicThinking | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Nobody likes to be in debt, but we owe even more to interest itself. Jo Michell (@BristolUWE) paints us a picture of the origins and applications of this oft-misunderstood economic tool.
If we're going to build bridges into the future, we need to first understand how we got to where we are. Our new series "INET Rewind" quickly unpacks the fundamentally important concepts that we all take for granted.
Let us know in the comments what concepts you'd like to see us explore in future episodes!
