Richard Collins reveals the links between the worlds of business and Beatrix Potter.
Margaret Thatcher famously held Ginger & Pickles to be the only business book worth reading. Not only an instructive manual in cornershop economics, this deceptively simple tale of a shopkeeping cat and dog also turns out to be a blueprint for how to wreck an entire economy. With Supermarket chairman Edwin Booth and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ economics editor Stephanie Flanders.
Dramatised scenes written by John Peacock. Directed by Celia de Wolff.
A Pier production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
