"Business Matters: Has Wall Street beaten Washington? 13 Dec 14

Sat, 13 Dec 14

The US Senate is set to vote on a $1.1tn budget which includes the controversial repeal¹ of bank controls drawn² up in the wake of the financial crisis. We get the view from the US and ask why complex financial products like derivatives³ are up for discussion in a national budget bill? We also hear from our reporter in Italy where workers have been out on general strike. They have been protesting against the government's attempts to change the country's labour laws. We find out about Rooney's Rule - and ask why a prominent black business leader is pushing to get an employment principle from the world of sports accepted in the world of business. We also get musical and chat to the composer Phil Kline - he is the brains behind the Unsilent Night phenomenon in the US. We are joined through-out the show by Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand.
