A special edition of Riddoch Questions this week discusses the Scottish economy, the budget and the future of capitalism and asks how will Scotland’s economy recover?
Recorded in front of a live audience of social entrepreneurs at the S2S Trade Fair at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, the panel includes Laurie Russell, Chair of the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition; Andy Kerr, Shadow Finance Minister and Labour spokesman on sustainable growth; Fraser Doherty, creator and owner of SuperJam at the tender age of 14 and now at 20 a top entrepreneur. They’ll be facing questions including:
• Will the 50% tax rates announced in this week’s Budget send entrepreneurs and business people elsewhere?
• Where will there be growth in the Scottish economy?
• Has the profit motive brought Britain to its knees?
• Has the takeover of Scottish banks by English institutions made independence less likely?
• Are Scots risk-averse?
Listen to the programme from 1.15pm tomorrow. As it’s a recording, there’ll be no calls, emails or texts but you can leave your comments at www.lesleyriddoch.com.
