Owain Bennallack is joined in the studio by Pete Comley, the author of Inflation Tax: The Plan To Deal With The Debts. Pete argues that both history and pragmatic common sense tell us that the government will turn to inflation to try to manage down Britain’s massive public debt burden, and that most people won’t even see it happening. Owain naturally asks him how we can duck the bullet! Unfortunately there’s no simple solutions on offer, but there’s certainly plenty to think about.
