US calls for minimum global corporation tax

Available for over a year

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called for a minimum rate of corporation tax around the world; the BBC's Michelle Fleury explains what the Biden administration is hoping to achieve. Also in the programme, as Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell hits out at companies protesting against Georgia's new election law, Professor of Law Ciara Torres-Spelliscy discusses what influence corporations can have. Plus, the BBC's Theo Leggett has been speaking to whistleblowers about their careers after exposing wrongdoing. And we hear about the controversy surrounding a new art gallery in Hong Kong. Our guests throughout the hour are Professor Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland and former Hong Kong government official Rachel Cartland of Cartland Consulting.
