Political Currency: Behind the Scenes of Political and Economic Decisions
By [Author]
Persephonica has recently announced the launch of “Political Currency,” a groundbreaking podcast hosted by former Chancellor George Osborne and former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls. Set to debut on Thursday 14th September, the podcast aims to provide listeners with an exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of the biggest political and economic decisions that directly impact the nation’s pockets.
George Osborne and Ed Balls are two highly esteemed and well-known former politicians in the UK. Despite their history as fierce adversaries in the House of Commons and on TV screens, they have developed a newfound respect for each other’s astute political analysis. Together, they have appeared as a duo, known as ‘OsBalls,’ on ITV’s election night coverage and Channel 4’s The Andrew Neil Show. However, this podcast will not be limited to friendly political banter. Osborne and Balls are unafraid to hold each other and the country’s leaders accountable on the most critical issues.
Every week, the hosts will take listeners on a journey behind the scenes of Downing Street, the Treasury, and the City, as well as across the globe. They will provide insights into the inner workings of politics, the decision-making processes behind major economic choices, and the significance of political currency. In addition, emergency episodes will be released for significant breaking economic news. Osborne and Balls will also invite special guests to the show, including former insiders who rarely grant interviews but share a connection with the hosts from their time in office.
Both George Osborne and Ed Balls possess unparalleled experience at the highest levels of government, particularly in Number 11. Balls served as Shadow Chancellor and Chief Economic Adviser to the Treasury during Gordon Brown’s Chancellorship, and he played a pivotal role in establishing the Bank of England’s independence from the UK government. Osborne, on the other hand, served as Chancellor in David Cameron’s coalition government and played a crucial role in helping the Conservative Party secure its first majority government in over a decade in 2015.
With the global economy in upheaval and the UK grappling with persistent inflation, soaring mortgage costs, and structural changes due to the pandemic and Brexit, George Osborne and Ed Balls will confront the issues that will shape Britain’s voting decisions. They will offer accessible and compelling analysis to help listeners navigate these challenging times.
In their own words, Ed Balls stated, “Part of our podcast is going to be looking back to things we’ve experienced, things we’ve learned and then seeing how they apply to where we are today. We’re also people who, as Chancellor or Shadow Chancellor, always understood that economics is at the center of good politics. There are some politicians who can sometimes think if they make a speech that’s sufficiently compelling, it’s enough to change the course of history. Whereas we know that if you get the economics right, the politics can flow from that.” George Osborne added, “We were the insiders, and now we have the perspective of the outsiders. We’re going to take people behind the closed doors, into the rooms where the decisions are made. We’ll explain how the politics follows the economics and expose how the powerful become powerless when faced with economic forces they can’t control.”
For those interested in gaining exclusive insights into the world of politics and economics, “Political Currency” promises to be an invaluable resource. With the expertise and experience of George Osborne and Ed Balls, listeners can expect a captivating and informative podcast that delves deep into the factors shaping the nation’s economic and political landscape.
