Has China's economy entered the deep freeze? This is among the questions answered by George Magnus during this conversation with Jay Elwes,  Prospect's Deputy Editor. Magnus discusses the state of markets the world over: he analyses George Osborne's role in the UK's ongoing economic recovery and argues that, when it comes to managing central banks, many decision-makers have fallen asleep at the wheel.
