## Resource

In this episode, Robbie Mochrie catches up with Leila Johnston and Fraser Allen to discuss a series of events he has organised to celebrate the 250-year anniversary of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Called The Smith Conversations, the programme begins on 9 March as a distinguished panel of guests assemble at the Library of Mistakes to discuss Smith on Equality. Further events explore Smith's thoughts on Wealth, Capitalism, Power and Education. See link below for tickets. We also hear from Didasko CEO David Clarke as he playfully plans a bus-trip beano to the Weekend of Mistakes in Hay-on-Wye, while Library of Mistakes Librarian Helen Williams provides her guide to books in the collection with a strong focus on that filthy lucre – money.
