About this format


A short, dense narrated presentation covering: what money actually is, what a government bond actually is, what "the deficit" means and doesn't mean, and the one binding constraint that is real (inflation). After the 5 minutes, hosts run a 25-minute Q&A using the prompts we supply.

Longer variants (10 min / 30 min / 1 hour) will land as separate templates as the catalogue grows; this is the entry-level format.

Discussion prompts


  1. What surprised you most?
  2. Where did the explainer push past what you already knew?
  3. What's an example from today's news this changes how you see?
  4. What would you ask a Minister of Finance after watching this?
