In the second episode, the government and the Bank of England are forced to react to the economic shocks brought on by Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. Insiders from the world of finance tell us how these crises create an opportunity for the rich to vastly increase their fortunes.
Theresa May enters office in the aftermath of Brexit, setting her sights on tax dodgers, bloated executive pay and unethical multinational companies.

With first-hand accounts, the episode takes us inside No 10 as the prime minister and her closest advisers promise to reset the economy in favour of ordinary working people.
