Description

Welcome to One Thing About Money. On this podcast, guests from different walks of life explain the ‘one thing’ they believe everyone should know about money, finance or the economy.

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.
