Argentina Elections: New Economic Era?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Argentina Elections: New Economic Era?

Argentines vote for Mauricio Macri, a pro-business, reformist candidate, as president

Argentines vote for Mauricio Macri, a pro-business, reformist candidate, as their new president - a victory many believe will end Argentina's left-leaning economic policies.

What is in store for Argentina now that Mauricio Macri, a pro-business candidate, is set to be the country's next president? He will replace President Christina Kirchner and the political movement she created with her late husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner, which championed welfare for the poor. We hear from the BBC's South America business correspondent Daniel Gallas, recently back from Buenos Aires. 

Also, as part of the BBC's 100 Women Season, Ngozi Opara, founder and CEO of Heat Free Hair, tells us what it is like for a black woman to do business in China. And, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times untangles family and finances.
