Billionaire Bashing - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Zoe Strimpel argues that wealth creation should be the bedrock of politics.

She says that while she loathes the arrogance sometimes displayed by the super rich - especially in the present climate where millions are sinking into poverty - it's not billionaires who are the problem.

'My view is that we need not fewer billionaires but more, the richer the better,' she writes. 'In fact, the more rich people the better'.

Hatred of billionaires, she believes, is perplexing at a time when government can't, or won't, fill huge gaps in funding.
