Transatlantic Free Trade

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Why wouldn't you want a free trade deal that could add billions to your economy? We discuss the pluses and minuses of the world's biggest trade deal between the US and the EU. Markus Beyrer, director general of BusinessEurope, explains why he's in support of a deal, and John Hilary, executive director of War on Want argues against it. Also on the programme: How will Russia react to its ailing economy? Dr Richard Connolly, co-director of the Centre for Russian, European and Eurasian Studies at Birmingham University tells us. And Lucy Kellaway explains why middle-management jobs are failing to excite today's workers. (Photo: Container ship. Credit: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
