  • Summary

  • A crash of economists invades the studio to talk to Jan and Paul about how industrial pollution ties in with economics and sustainability.

    Professor Dakshina De Silva, and Drs Anita Schiller and Aurelie Slechten explain how economists view the world – how they analyse how people make choices – and how we can measure the social costs of pollution.

    Their work shows how communities with lower-income residents can be impacted more by pollution, but why does that happen, and can anything be done to stop this happening in future?

    With pollution impacting health and employment opportunities, can regulations help these communities? Will they make industries pack up and move elsewhere – leaving even fewer job opportunities? Or is that just a handy excuse?

    The trio take through these issues and many more – and we discover shockingly that there may be a ‘Wrong Side’ of the river in Lancaster.
