Banks, families and throwing spears

BBC World Service - Business Weekly Archive, Banks, families and throwing spears

Business Weekly has a bit of bank bashing - and the banks bash back.

Business Weekly has a warning for bankers - France's Economy minister Christine Lagarde tells them not to go back to their old ways. But they say they've been humbled and are cleaning up their acts.

In this week's Business Weekly, France's Economy Minister Christine Lagarde warns bankers not to go back to their old ways. But the man who represents 375 of the world's major banks tells us his industry is busy cleaning up its act. Also, the billionaire Gerald Ronson tells us how he lost a fortune and rebuilt it and why family is important. And on the subject of families we look at how damaging feuds and rivalries can be to family-owned businesses. Plus, our top commentator in Kenya, Wycliffe Muga, gives his views on the arrival of cheap, fast broadband to East Africa. Will it, he wonders, make him stop feeling like throwing a spear at his computer?
