Federal Reserve Head Doubts Trump's Economic Plan

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Before Donald Trump came to power, he pledged to create 25 million jobs. To do this, he said he would make the US economy grow by 3% every year - a policy dubbed MAGA-nomics. We speak to economist Terry Savage. Should employers research potential candidates on social media? New proposals say 'legal grounds' should be needed, and we hear from employment lawyer Gillian Howard. And the BBC's Vivienne Nunis meets Afrobeat musician turned politician Bobi Wine in Kampala. Rob Young is joined throughout the programme by activist and financial reform advocate Alexis Goldstein in Washington and Mark Ridley, a consultant at Transform Performance International in the UK.
