End of the Liberal World Trade Order?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As the US vetoes a reference to free trade in a G20 communique, we speak to Megan Greene, managing director and chief economist for Manulife Asset Management, about what this means for the world trading order as we know it. Also, the BBC's Rahul Tandon reports from Kolkata where India's iconic Ambassador car is set for a new lease on life after its production was taken over by France's Peugeot. And our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times considers how bereavement made her re-examine her career in journalism.
