Why is everything so expensive? And who's getting rich while the rest of us struggle to pay the bills?

This week on The State of It, comedian Guy Williams and researcher Avigail Allan take on New Zealand's cost of living crisis, with a little help from economist Dr Geoff Bertram. From outrageous power bills and supermarket prices to $350 Ed Sheeran tickets, they explore how decades of privatisation, deregulation and corporate greed have made life increasingly unaffordable.

Along the way, they discover that the class war might already be over, make the case for bringing back trains, and investigate the cosy relationship between big business and our political leaders. Can Guy and Avi fix the economy? Probably not. But they're going to give it a crack.
