The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble
15th May 2009
A timeless tale of boom and bust, profit and loss - brilliant Radio for our times. A big hat-tip to Phil and Anne for spotting this one!
Comedy by Julian Gough. The story of an encounter one snowy night on a railway platform somewhere in southern England between a young Irish orphan, Jude, and Dr Ibrahim Bihi, a Somali with a degree in economics who has made and lost a fortune in the virtual goat market. As Dr Bihi relates the story of his rise and fall, he takes the opportunity to educate young Jude in the pitfalls and the glories of market forces.
