Coronavirus: The ethics of reopening for business

BBC World Service - Business Weekly, Coronavirus: The ethics of reopening for businessSearch BBC

The most compelling reports and interviews from the BBC's business programmes over the past week, examining the huge issues facing policymakers and asking what the future holds for our working lives. This week we ask a big moral question - will the deliberate shutting down of economies in an effort to slow Covid-19 kill more than the virus itself? Or as some have predicted will a recession actually save lives? We have a report from Brazil where conflicting messaging has sown confusion and fear. As ever we’ll be looking at how the virus is affecting life and work - hearing from small business owners, musicians and even horticulturalists.  Presented by Lucy Burton.
