Business Weekly Archive

Available for over a year

They're angry and they're bitter - Business Weekly takes the temperature of America's middle classes. As the midterm elections approach are those who lost jobs and homes right to feel let down? Paul Mason reports from Georgia. And in the face of sluggish economic growth, will central bankers have to delve down into the bottom of their toolbox? Hear musician Curtis Threadneedle's take on Quantitative Easing, plus a discussion of why it matters with DeAnne Julius, chairman of Chatham House, and former Federal Reserve Governor, Larry Meyer. Plus, are you deliriously happy at work? Srikumar Rao from Columbia Business School thinks we all ought to be.
