David Cracknell and James Laing meet for our new series of Market Share podcasts dedicated to covering the politics and economics of the day.

This episode sees David and James look back over the first few months of the year: how the SVB crisis differed from the 2008 financial crash and whether the government has done enough to prevent another major economic collapse; the status and progress of IPOs and M&A activity; and the crucial question, why does the UK market keep shrinking?
