Big Boss InterviewAvailable for over a year
The dispute with the US that lies behind Turkey's crisis shows no sign of resolution. Today the Turkish president called for a boycott on American made goods - and called on industry to increase production to help fill the gap.We hear from Aaron Klein, a fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Also in the programme, we speak to professor David Thickett, the academic behind the research which has found evidence that e-cigarettes may be more harmful than previously thought. Plus, do bank bosses still get paid excessively? Luke Hildyard tells us what he thinks whether or not the publication of pay rates should be compulsory. Contributors Simon Littlewood, president of AC Growth Delivered in Singapore, and Andy Uhler, Martketplace reporter, in Austin, Texas join Roger Hearing to discuss.
