Business Matters: Obama's 'Phone and Pen' Government 04 Jul 14

Fri, 4 Jul 14

We have an interview with President Obama about the failings and successes of the US economy - and the 'phone and pen' approach by which the President rules. Also, the strawberry market is worth $1.4 billion to the UK economy - we look at what Wimbledon has to do with it all. The Ritz hotel is being sued by a woman who lost $3.5 million in its casino - she says the staff 'took advantage' of her. We look at the ethics¹ of the case with a philosopher. Finally, will the foul² tasting Chinese drink baiju take off when it's introduced to Western tastes? All this is discussed with Alison R G van Diggelen from Hot Fresh Dialogues in Silicon³ Valley, and Tony Nash from Delta⁴ Economics in Singapore.
