Wells Fargo Boss Stumpf Resigns

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Wells Fargo's chief executive, John Stumpf, resigns following a scandal over the bank's sales tactics involving more than two million unauthorised accounts. Emily Grazer, from the Wall Street Journal, tells us America's second biggest bank has a long way to go to restore trust. Anger grows over former European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso's new job at Goldman Sachs - a petition calling for him to lose his pension now has more than 150,000 signatures. We ask whether the so-called revolving door between business and politics should be closed. Is YouTube the right place to give teenagers sex education? We talk to the founders of a new video venture. Plus, how Spain's economy has been coping without a government for the last nine months, and the small Slovenian town fighting the French for access to a long-dead king. Joining Roger Hearing throughout the programme: Catherine Yeung from Fidelity International in Hong Kong, and Nancy Koehn, historian of business at Harvard Business School.
