Taking A Hike

Wake Up to Money

After the US Federal Reserve committed to the first interest rate rise in three years, Sean Farrington speaks to a former economist at the central bank, then looks ahead to the Bank of England's decision later on Thursday. And on Friday, a new album of unreleased recordings from David Bowie's early career will be available to stream. We hear from the rock star's contemporaries about what unearthed music can do for an artist's legacy.
