EP 68: A Fabulous Debt (with Robin Wigglesworth)

Join Russell Napier in conversation with FT journalist Robin Wigglesworth discussing his fascinating new book on the history of bonds – A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World.

Enjoy an entertaining and fact-packed gallop through the 400-year history of 'tradeable loans' – and hear about Robin's 'rock star' moment when he got to hold the world's oldest performing bond. Made from goatskin, it's still paying out interest four centuries on.
