Tales from the Global Economy

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Beginning a four-part series unearthing the links between daily life and the workings of the global economy.
The Cappuccino Trail. In the UK, a cup of coffee could cost you L3, yet the farmers who grow the raw green coffee beans might earn less than a penny a cup. This week's programme looks at the quest for the perfect cappuccino which links the poor farmers of Peru and the global weather effect to Wall Street trading pits and fickle consumer tastes.
