Why perfection is overrated

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Today we look at how some jurisdictions are developing a healthy business "exporting justice". The UK is one. Indeed, the Saudi's could be swapping Sharia law for English law for some disputes. Justin Rowlatt speaks to Raid Abu Manneh of Mayer Brown and Philip Marshall QC. We have an interview with the US regulator who believes American banks should be broken up and we look at why perfection is overrated, with an impassioned plea from Lucy Kellaway on why good enough is almost always, well, good enough.
