Why perfection is overrated

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Why perfection is overrated

The international trade in justice and why good enough is, well, good enough.

The international trade in justice, a US regulator on why America's banks should be broken up and Lucy Kellaway with an impassioned plea for why good enough is, well, good enough.

Today we look at how some jurisdictions are developing a healthy business "exporting justice".  The UK is one. Indeed, the Saudi's could be swapping Sharia law for English law for some disputes.  Justin Rowlatt speaks to Raid Abu Manneh of Mayer Brown and Philip Marshall QC.

We have an interview with the US regulator who believes American banks should be broken up and we look at why perfection is overrated, with an impassioned plea from Lucy Kellaway on why good enough is almost always, well, good enough.
