The Economics of Gay Marriage

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As gay marriage gets a boost from the US supreme court, we examine the economic impact and find out why over 200 major businesses have given their support. Australia's first woman prime minister is ejected from her post and party leadership just months before an election - we go to Australia to find out what will that do to faltering confidence in the country's economy? And shedding light in dark corners at the top of the Catholic Church - Pope Francis launches an inquiry into the Vatican Bank. And we're linking the time-zones throughout the programme with two guests on opposite sides of the pacific - Stuart Oakley of Nomura Bank who's in Singapore and Olivia Sterns of Bloomberg who's in New York.
