Spectre of Greek Default Looms Over Eurozone

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Greece is living on the edge. Little chance of a deal and default two weeks away, and a likely exit from the Euro. So what is going to happen, and who's fault is it? We get the latest from the US and the Greek government. We also speak to Makis Voridis, MP for the conservative opposition National Democracy party and former minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Networks. Does he think there will be an agreement in the end? Also in the programme, our Taiwan correspondent Cindy Sui visits dumpling maker Din Tai Fung to find out why it is the only Taiwanese food brand to have gained recognition on the world stage. Goldman Sachs has started forbidding interns from staying overnight in the office, apparently not uncommon in the high-stress, high-stakes work culture of investment banking. We hear from Rahul Gupta, entrepreneur and former Goldman intern, who now works in Delhi. All this and more discussed with two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific - Tianjie Ma, programme director at Greenpeace China, who's in Beijing and David Freedman, writer for the Atlantic magazine, who's in Boston.
