MUMBAI: BBC World News is launching a new three-part series titled ?Masters of Money? on 24 November.

It will be presented by BBC Economics Editor Stephanie Flanders.

?Masters of Money? will air on Saturday at 3.40 pm and at 8.40 pm and on Sunday at 3.40 pm and 10.40 pm.

Produced in partnership with the Open University, the series explores how the theories of three "extraordinary" thinkers - John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx and Friedrich Hayek - have helped shape the modern world as the West tackles the greatest economic downturn in 80 years, the channel said.

According to the channel, in ?Masters of Money?, Flanders explains that these men were not mere theorists and shows how their ideas were adopted and adapted by prime ministers, presidents and dictators - shaping world events and the societies we live in.
