The Beatrix Potter Guide to Business

Richard Collins reveals the links between the worlds of business and Beatrix Potter. Margaret Thatcher famously held Ginger & Pickles to be the only business book worth reading. Not only an instructive manual in cornershop economics, this deceptively simple tale of a shopkeeping cat and dog also turns out to be a blueprint for how to wreck an entire economy. With Supermarket chairman Edwin Booth and BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders. Dramatised scenes written by John Peacock. Directed by Celia de Wolff. A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
