BBC World Service - Business Daily, Housewives tackle the euro crisis

We ask Europe's housewives for their street-level view on the eurozone crisis.

We ask Europe's housewives for their street-level view of the eurozone crisis.  And luxury compression - how the downward spiral in the price of gadgets has given us all a glimpse of the highlife.

As Spain gets another downgrade, we ask Professor Luis Garricano of the London School of Economics whose debt is it anyway? 

For a close-up view of the crisis, we bring together three housewives from Germany, Greece and Italy to see what impact the problems afflicting European economies are having on their day-to-day lives. They also offer their views on what can be done to improve the situation.

Plus, on a brighter note, our regular commentator Steve Fritzinger examines luxury compression - how the downward spiral in the cost of personal gadgets has given us all a small glimpse of the highlife.
