Sewage, Bankruptcy and Strikes

Business Weekly Archive

Available for over a year

We look at one American county that's staring bankruptcy in the face - all because Wall Street banks helped it arrange financing for a sewer system. Plus: why has Calcutta become India's city of strikes? And we talk to the anti-capitalist rebel who became a business guru by selling handbags which creak.
