Swiss Advice for Britain on Brexit

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The former President of Switzerland, Micheline Calmy-Rey, has some advice for the United Kingdom as it negotiates Brexit: try to strike a balance between freedom of movement and access to the single market. Stephen Fry says publicly that Apple should pay more tax, as the company's Irish debacle continues, but U.S. economist Irwin Stelzer says it's not the tech giant that's at fault - it's the global system of taxation. The Nigerian capital city of Abuja is on track to overtake Lagos as the country's hub for tech start-ups, as plans continue to develop it as Africa's very own Silicon Valley. And we're joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific. Richard Wolff is the Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, and the Founder of Democracy at Work. And David Quo from the financial website The Motley Fool in Singapore.
