Who Are Today's Young Bankers?

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

On today's show the world's trade watchdog - the WTO - has a new boss and he hails from the developing world. We hear who he is and why he matters. Also - when the stakes are high, the fall is steep, Microsoft is expected to relaunch the latest version of its software following complaints from users. And we ask what's driving share markets higher - from London to Tokyo. After recent global food scares we talk to the scientists who check you are actually eating what you think you're eating. And we're joined by Simon Littlewood of Asia Now consulting group in Singapore and New York Magazine's Kevin Roose, who tells us what life is like for young people going into banking today post-financial crisis.
