A six-part documentary series by Anthony Sampson. 6: The Price of Greed
Why is it that our world, which reaches an indulgent climax of spending and consuming at Christmas, cannot afford to provide the most basic needs to the poorest half of mankind?
Anthony Sampson looks at what has gone wrong with attempts to provide aid to poor countries. He discovers how even the most hopeful cases, like Ghana, can quickly become 'unbankable' in the world's financial markets.
In the end, will the poorest countries in our world simply 'drop out' of the global system? Or is there a solution which works to the advantage of both rich and poor countries alike? Cameraman MICHAEL MILES Series producer MICK CSAKY
