Argentina’s Historic Market Crash
Argentina reels from the biggest market crash in its history
As Argentina reels from the biggest market crash in its history, we find out how it’s affecting the population - and what the government is doing to fight it. Plus, stock markets around the world have stabilised, after fears of a slowing global economy sparked a big sell-off on Wednesday. We get analysis from Cary Leahey of Decision Economics in New York. And we look at the hype around 3D printing and why it hasn’t lived up to its reputation – it turns out the machines used too much electricity, the materials were expensive and sometimes printing items took far too long.
