One Thing About Money Leila Johnston

Welcome to the final episode in the first series of One Thing About Money, the podcast where guests from different walks of life explain the ‘one thing’ they believe everyone should know about money, finance or the economy. 

How much do you know – and indeed want to know – about money? This week's guest is James Ramirez, a behavioural finance expert. Among other things, we touch on:

* What behavioural finance is.
* The value of trust in financial knowledge.
* Assessing risk.
* Why we make the choices we do.
* Our financial habits and biases.
* The second Terry Pratchett reference of the series.

This week's guest is Doug MacBeath, a curator at the Museum on the Mound, a free public museum all about money that's based in the Bank of Scotland's HQ in central Edinburgh (near Waverley train station). As we look through the items in the collection, we discuss how money has changed from the days when the coin was worth the weight of metal used to make it, to the mixture of tokens and promissory notes we use today.

This week's guest is Fraser Allen, an expert in communications and publishing, specialising in business and finance clients. Fraser is another volunteer for the wonderful Library of Mistakes in Edinburgh – a finance and business reference library – and we talk about the library and its lessons in this episode. Fraser is particularly struck by the recurring theme of the library's books... that while money is undoubtedly useful if you don't have enough of it, it often brings unhappiness, in excess.
