Summary
Every country likes to think it’s world-class at something. The Italians claim style, the Germans have their engineering and the Americans have Silicon Valley - and swagger. So, what about us? What’s Britain’s superpower? It’s a serious question. If we know what the UK is good at, we can play to our strengths and build an economy that pays for the things we all rely on – like hospitals, homes and schools. Evan Davis and guests discuss what Britain does well across culture, innovation and capital. And asks what works, what doesn’t and why it matters. Guests: Ric Lewis, founding partner of Tristan Capital Partners Kate Bingham, managing partner at SV Health Investors Shona McCarthy, former CEO, Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society Production team: Presenter: Evan Davis Producers: Sally Abrahams and Neal Razzell Production Co-ordinator: Katie Morrison Sound: Jonathan Greer and James Beard Editor: Matt Willis The Bottom Line is produced in partnership with The Open University.
