He spoke about his economic influences. He shared his thoughts on Andrew Bailey, Gordon Brown and Danny Blanchflower (he had a lot of time for Danny). We covered resource economics, the climate crisis and MMT.

We discussed his thoughts on the 2008 crash. Towards the end of the interview, we turned to his thoughts on the white paper, sterilisation, and the Scottish referendum.

This is the first time we have shown the full interview from 2023. This is a rare opportunity to consider Alex's thoughts on the economy and how his views shaped the referendum. And Scotland since 2007

W hope you enjoy it as much as William did.
