Business Daily

Available for over a year

Business Correspondent Jonty Bloom travels to France to explore why France seems unable to reform its anaemic economy. We speak to global risk consultants Control Risks, about why international power and influence seems to be draining away from the West. And, we are in Jamaica to ask why, with a female prime minister, the island is still so mired in sexism.
