Green Shoots?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Business Daily sees light at the end of the economic tunnel but wonders if it's the locomotive of recession coming the other way. The man who advises the prime ministers of Japan warns on how recessions stay with you even when you think they've gone. Plus a Nobel prize winner George Akerlof of the University of California at Berkeley on our irrational economic behaviour. And Lucy Kellaway - are metaphors a pig in a poke or are they the icing on the cake?
