Talking Inside The Box

Available for over a year

The BBC has tracked a shipping container for a year. It's now home, sitting in a car-park at BBC headquarters, and we broadcast from inside. Hear the box's story as it crossed the planet, carrying everything from bathroom scales to cat food. What does its jouurney to Shanghai, Los Angeles, New York, Yokohama and Brazil say about world trade? How did our planet come to have a single sized container for trains, ships and trucks and in all parts of the world? And what does happen when containers from China reach Europe and America full of Chinese exports but have nothing to return with? Business Daily broadcasts from inside the BBC box with answers to all these questions.
