Falling Brics

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As BRICs currencies steadily fall, Ed Butler asks economist Arvind Subramanian what is propelling their descent? And we hear from author Nick Robbins about what happened when the East India Company - a single commercial operation - was granted unfettered power. Plus Lucy Kellaway prods her scalpel at confusing business jargon.
