Deflation and, er… Eurovision

Following the first fall into deflation in the UK since the 1960s, Kirsty Styles chats to James Meadway, Senior Economist at the New Economics Foundation, about good inflation, bad inflation, negative inflation and deflation, and what it all means. Also, some (pre-Eurovision) chat about Eurovision.
