Now We Are Ten

BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, Now We Are Ten

A look back on how the business world has changed in the past decade. Evan Davis presents.

The credit crunch, record low interest rates and a technology boom - all happened in the past decade. Evan Davis and guests discuss how businesses have adapted to the changes.

The Bottom Line first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2006. At the time, Tony Blair was Prime Minister, interest rates were 4.5%, petrol was 90 pence a litre and a first class stamp cost 32p (half today's price). In a special edition, to mark ten years since the programme came on air, Evan Davis and guests discuss some of the big changes that have happened in the past decade, including: the global recession, record high and record low oil prices, a technology boom and China's extraordinary economic growth. How have businesses adapted to the changing world?
