Available for over a year

One of America's best known economists has compared the political and economic situation facing the world today with that of the 1930s. Kenneth Rogoff was previously the Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund and is currently Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. In an interview with this programme, he warns that rich countries are risking danger by allowing too big a gap to grow between the rich and the poor. Meanwhile, we also head to Amsterdam to look at how Holland is coping with Britain's referendum vote to leave the European Union. Anti-European and anti-immigrant sentiment has been on the rise in the Netherlands over the last decade or so. Now the UK has voted to leave the EU, might the Dutch follow suit? Amsterdam's deputy mayor, Kaijsa Ollengren talks to the BBC. (Photo: Ken Rogoff at the World Economic Forum. Credit: Getty.)
