Finland at One Hundred Years Old

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Business Matters marks the 100th anniversary of Finland's independence with special coverage from Helsinki. We hear from the Finnish prime minister about what the next 100 years has in store for his country. We find out what 'sisu' is - and hear about the artistic author of the Moomins, the famous children's characters, which have been televised and turned in to a successful book series. Plus, we discuss a universal basic income for all of Finland's citizens, as the BBC's Fergus Nicoll investigates. Our live guests on the programme are Jyoti Malhotra, consulting editor at the Indian Express in Delhi, and professor Peter Morici of the University of Maryland in Washington DC.
