Let's start at the beginning... What exactly is the economy?

For the very first episode of Comedian V Economist, Adam starts with what seems like a very simple question for his brother Thomas: 'What exactly *is* the economy?'

What Adam quickly learns though, is sometimes simple questions, don't have simple answers, and quickly the brothers end up discussing a whole host of other questions... like, why are politicians always talking about having a strong economy? If I mow my neighbours lawn, is that part of the GDP? What even is the GDP? Can the economy just keep growing... forever? And what does amorphous mean? (We can't promise the answer to that last one)

If you've got a question for Thomas... or Adam... then go ahead and send them to [email protected]
