Death
From paying for funerals to cryonics, what are the economics of death? With Louise de Winter. From 2016.
Simon Evans' final comedy lecture on four of the big life stages marking our journey through life and how economics is part of every one of those stages, whether we like it or not.
As always, he is joined by Financial Times columnist and presenter of Radio 4's 'More or Less', economist Tim Harford and financial guru and editor of Money Week, Merryn Somerset Webb.
In the final episode, Simon looks at (probably) the most final of life stages: Death.
From paying for funerals to the cost of cryonics, and the cheery subject of getting your final finances in order, this inevitably morbid programme will also make you laugh.
Special guest is Louise de Winter, funeral planner and the editor of the Good Funeral Guide.
Written by Simon Evans, Benjamin Partridge and Andy Wolton.
Producer: Claire Jones.
First broadcast on 成人快手 Radio 4 in August 2016.
