Business Matters: Greek Financial Difficulty has 'Scarring Effect' 17 Feb 15

Tue, 17 Feb 15

Greece's rejection¹ of new EU bailout conditions could 'leave scars'. One expert tells us the country, however, hasn't been doing as badly as many suggest. Disagreements between unions and managers at US West Coast ports mean a significant drop in trade for those businesses waiting for their goods. And what effect does a historic $10 million fine mean for Tour De France cyclist victor Lance Armstrong's brand, and those who sponsor him? All this with our guests David Kuo of The Motley Fool in Singapore and Cecily McMillan of the Occupy movement in Atlanta. Presented by Fergus Nicoll.
