BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Jim O'Neill: Is this a time for governments to be bold?

A British economist explains why he thinks big measures are needed to revive growth

After almost 20 years as chief economist at Goldman Sachs, Jim O'Neill spent a year as commercial secretary to the UK Treasury. He thinks big measures are needed to revive growth.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Jim O’Neill, former chief economist at Goldman Sachs, erstwhile advisor to the British Government and champion of big measures to revive growth.
