The economics of America's gun culture

BBC World Service - Business Matters, The economics of America's gun culture

We discuss the economics of US gun culture, following the school shooting in Texas

We discuss the economics of US gun culture, following the school shooting in Texas.  We hear Vice President Kamala Harris's call for the country to pass "reasonable" gun laws.

Following the fatal mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, we discuss the economics of America's gun culture.  The US Vice President, Kamala Harris, is calling for the country to pass "reasonable" gun laws after the attack which left 19 children and two teachers dead.

We reflect on the impact of George Floyd's death, two years on from his murder at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

We also discuss Pfizer's announcement to sell all of its patented drugs and vaccines at non-profit prices to the world's poorest countries. 

Rahul Tandon is joined by Michelle Jamrisko, who's Senior Asia Economy Reporter for Bloomberg in Singapore, as well as Kimberley Adams from our partners Marketplace in Washington, DC.
