England V Norway: A Tale of Two Oil Discoveries?
About this episode
The episode explores the contrasting outcomes of oil discoveries in Norway and Britain, analyzing the economic decisions that led to their differing fortunes.
Norway turned North Sea oil into $2 trillion in the bank. Britain turned it into tax cuts, unemployment cheques and a housing bubble. We unpack the tale of two oil finds, why one country nailed it and the other blew it, and what it says about how nations really make, and lose, their fortunes. Hosted on Acast.
