Joe Biden's economic priorities

World Business Report

Available for over a year

What will a Joe Biden Presidency mean for the US and the global economy? Increasingly unequal incomes and the coronavirus are a few of the issues Biden is looking to tackle as he’s set to secure a victory from Donald Trump – so where will Biden’s push for green policies fit in? Plus, with Kamala Harris becoming the first female vice President, and the first woman of colour to hold the post, we speak with Julia Bond, instrumental in huge corporate changes due to her campaigning during the Black Lives Matter movement, to find out what this means for her. And what happens when you give the homeless thousands of dollars in a lump sum? The results are ‘beautifully surprising’, says the Canadian company who did exactly that.
