China's promise

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Leading investor Anthony Bolton from fund manager Fidelity, says China's bull market will return before too long. He is undeterred by disappointing results from the first year of his Chinese investment fund. He tells Lesley Curwen that China's growth will be affected by the turmoil in the eurozone; he expects growth to come down to 8%, but that will still look "very attractive" compared with low growth in richer countries. Plus, the BBC's Paul Mason retraces the journey of the Joad family in Steinbeck's 1930s novel The Grapes of Wrath, to see how modern Americans are coping with a stagnant housing market and a jobless recovery.
