Gambling Addiction in Asia

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The darker side of Asia's gambling boom - we go inside Cambodia's border casinos to hear stories from players and workers describing imprisonment, torture and gambling addiction. Does anyone care? Also we consider the often undervalued role of good luck in business investing with Michael Mauboussin, the American head of global financial strategies at investment bank, Credit Suisse. He has written a book about luck and skill called The Success Equation. And, on the day that Google announce the takeover of Titan Aerospace - a maker of remote controlled drones - our regular technology commentator, Jeremy Wagstaff of Reuters, considers why we should be excited about a future in which we all have a drone of our own.
