Tax Avoidance and Living the Dream

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Tax avoidance by the likes of Google, Amazon and Starbucks has finally gained the attention of ordinary voters - and of policymakers. The BBC's Jamie Robertson speaks to Dina Pomeranz of the Harvard Business School about the efforts of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to make big corporations and the wealthy pay their dues. Also in the programme, Jamie speaks to the first ever American chief executive of German tech company SAP about how he is living the American Dream. Plus, the global wellness industry - consultant Ophelia Yeung of the Stanford Research Institute explains what it is and why it is three times larger than the trillion-dollar global pharmaceuticals industry.
