US Republicans Sweep Mid-Term Elections

Business Daily

Available for over a year

What will a newly-elected Republican Senate mean for President Obama in his efforts to stimulate a US recovery in his last two years in office? Will it spell progress or just more gridlock on Capitol Hill? A former economic adviser to the president, Larry Summers, gives his assessment of where America should be going next. Also, we hear from leading American business guru and author, Jeff Sutherland, who explains why bosses should abandon all those expensive high-end projects, commissioned from the top, and instead scrum down with the workers to fix the challenges in the work-place.
