In the Balance looks at the prospects for the global economy in 2014. Our panel of international economists tackles a number of big issues, including the difficult task of scaling back economic stimulus in western countries and the possibility of a successful recovery in the eurozone.

Lesley Curwen and guests also discuss the gap between rich and poor in emerging nations, and how this might change in 2014.
