Thomas Piketty on France’s elections

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Thomas Piketty on France’s elections

Economist Thomas Piketty on France’s elections.

Influential economist Thomas Piketty’s take as official campaigning begins in France’s elections.

Election campaigning is underway in France after their president, Emmanuel Macron, called a snap parliamentary election at the weekend and fears of a far right election win have already sent stock markets tumbling. Roger Hearing looks at the impact on the economy and markets in France and beyond.

And we take a look at the world’s second largest economy, China. Its premier Li Qiang is on a visit to Australia to try to repair a fractured relationship that has caused major problems for trade. Meanwhile China seems poised to impose tariffs on EU pork - is this just retaliation for tariffs on Chinese electric cars?
