This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston takes a closer look at fraud in the art world, where counterfeit work now accounts for one fifth of all art in circulation. Mandy chats to Barbara Dawson the Director of the Hugh Lane Gallery. This week the International Monetary Fund issued a warning of a possible “hard landing” for the global economy if higher inflation keeps interest rates keep going. Mandy talks to Colby Smithy the US Economics Editor of the Financial Times. Plus after the recent Beijing ‘simulated’ bombing raids on the island of Taiwan Mandy talk to Amy Hawkins of the Guardian about what is happening in the South China Sea and why it is of such strategic importance in global politics.
