In this compelling interview, William sits down with author Russell Jones to delve into his latest work, "The Tyranny of Nostalgia: Half a Century of British Economic Decline."

Through the lens of Jones's rigorous analysis, the interview explores how nostalgic sentiments have influenced and, at times, impeded Britain's economic progress over the last fifty years. With Scotland's future at the forefront of the discussion, William and Jones discuss the implications of this economic decline on Scotland's push for independence, examining the potential (Russell less so than William) for a more prosperous future untethered from the weight of British nostalgia. This dialogue is essential for anyone interested in understanding the economic underpinnings of the independence debate and the role of nostalgia in shaping national policy and identity.
