Have I got news for you! The Scottish-born economist Angus Deaton has been awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economics. His work over many years in improving our understanding of household consumption decisions and latterly in his work on how countries can achieve the great escape from extreme poverty makes him a worthy winner. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at the LSE and the RSA a couple of years ago and in this blog I have added links to an edited video of his talk.
