Barack Obama Interview on the US Economy

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Barack Obama Interview on the US Economy

President Barack Obama about the failings and successes of the US economy

President Barack Obama on the failings and successes of the US economy - and the 'phone and pen' approach by which the President rules.

We have an interview from our US partners Marketplace with President Obama about the failings and successes of the US economy - and the 'phone and pen' approach by which the President rules. 

Also, the strawberry market is worth $1.4 billion to the UK economy - we look at what Wimbledon has to do with it all. 

The Ritz hotel is being sued by a woman who lost $3.5 million in its casino - she blames the staff 'took advantage' of her. We look at the ethics of the case with a philosopher. 

Finally, will the foul tasting Chinese drink baiju take off when it's introduced to Western tastes?  All this is discussed with Alison RG van Diggelen from Fresh Dialogues in Silicon Valley, and Tony Nash from Delta Economics in Singapore.
