In this podcast, we ask: what will be the recession's lasting legacy? Are any of the political parties being honest about the impact of the recession on future taxation and public spending? Has quantitative easing worked? Will women be worse affected by the recession than men?
On the panel is Alistair Milne of Cass business school at City University; Jacqueline Scott, professor of empirical sociology in the faculty of politics, psychology, sociology and international atudies and a fellow of Queens' College Cambridge; and Bob Rowthorne, emeritus professor of economics at Cambridge. The panel is chaired by Willie Brown, professor of industrial relations at Cambridge University.
