BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Rajat Nag, Managing Director of Asian Development Bank

Managing Director of the Asian Development Bank on inequality and governance in Asia.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Rajat Nag, Managing Director General of the Asian Development Bank about inequality and governance in Asia.
