Stephen Sackur questions former Obama adviser Christina Romer about tackling recession.

Stephen Sackur asks Christina Romer, former head of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, if her country needs a new approach to solving its serious economic woes.

Until two months ago, Christina Romer was head of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. Does America need to radically change course? She talks to Stephen Sackur.
