BUSINESS WEEKLY
Green shoots or poisoned weeds? On the week that General Motors declared itself bankrupt, we sift for clues that the global economy has turned the corner in America, eastern Europe and Peru.
General Motors may be bankrupt, and eastern Europe on the verge of economic collapse, but this week Lesley Curwen looks on the bright side, hearing from Obama's economic guru, Larry Summers, and from Poland's original shock therapist, Leszek Balcerowicz - both of whom offer sound reasons to be cheerful. Plus the decline and fall of Wall Street's desk-top trophies, and why Peru's bailing out heavy industry in one of the world's most polluted cities. The best of the week's business stories in the company of Lesley Curwen.
