BBC iPlayer - Afternoon Play: The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble

"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."

ostensibly a comedy, it has few real laughs. the writing is dry, but this surreal story uses the goat market as anology to the real markets.

worth a listen; though no thoracic suturing instruments required.
