Business Matters: Catalans Demand Vote On Independence

Fri, 12 Sep 14

Catalans demand the same chance as Scotland to vote on independence and Radio Shack1 under attack: the electronics retailer2 on the verge3 of bankruptcy4. Atlantic City suffers an unprecedented5 jobs crisis as three major casinos are boarded up. PLUS as South Korea doubles the price of tobacco, we explore the Asian fascination6 with smoking and ask why it has taken the government so long to try to tackle the smoking problem. We are joined from Washington by our regular commentator7 Peter Morici and from Singapore, by Tony Nash.
