Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss MoneyWeek issue 878, plus the other burning issues of the week. Topics covered include the perils and rewards of investing in Russia; wage increases, inflation and the economic cycle; corporate governance and why companies should behave better; the future of shareholder capitalism and the change in people's relationship with their money; the coming stockmarket "melt-up"; house prices and, inevitably, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
