Pintonomics #8 - Bond vigilantes

Join Pintonomics for our 8th meetup to discuss how economics impacts our daily lives – and to see what happens when you mix monetary policy with a good pint (or sprite!)

This months topic is Bond vigilantes, where we discuss:
- What are they?
- Can they force a government to change its budget?
- What actually sets the interest rate on government debt?
- Did the markets bring down Liz Truss, or was it something else?
- Does a government that issues its own currency need to borrow at all?

Highly recommend giving this a watch before hand:

We'll be in the Crown Tavern from 6.30pm but there's no strict start time so drop by what ever time you can make it 🙌
