The Economy of Everything is where the big economics headlines meet everyday life. Every Wednesday, NZ Herald's business editor at large Liam Dann and business editor Tamsyn Parker sit down to talk it through. From markets and interest rates to jobs, housing and the cost of living, they dive into why it all matters more than you think. Because whether you’re paying a mortgage or just buying milk, the economy is already in the room.
Then, every month tune in for Money Talks where Liam Dann talks to a high profile guest about their relationship with money. Be inspired, learn from the mistakes of others and get intimate with your own relationship with money.
The Economy of Everything and Money Talks are presented by NZ Herald in partnership with CMC Markets
