If you want to see how Britain was in its glory days, don't go to a museum, go to Hong Kong. This Film documentary made by Martin Durkin explains the full extent of the financial mess that Britain is in, with an estimated £4.8 trillion of national debt and counting. It's so big that even if every home in the UK was sold it wouldn't raise enough cash to pay it off.

Durkin argues that to put Britain back on track we need to radically rethink the role and size of the state, stop politicians spending and wasting money in our name and introduce, among other measures, much lower taxes to make Britain's economy boom again.

The film brings economic theory to life and makes it hit home. It includes interviews with academics, economic experts, entrepreneurs and four ex-Chancellors of the Exchequer.
