What do businesses want from Biden?

Joe Biden has already proposed a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill to try and tackle the economic crisis the country is now facing because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But beyond dealing with the immediate effects of the pandemic, what do small and large businesses want the new administration to prioritise? Ivana Davidovic hears from entrepreneurs in Pennsylvania and California who say that the country's creaking infrastructure is holding them back.

Will the proposed new tax policy manage to address huge wealth disparity and structural inequality? Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labour under President Clinton and professor at Berkeley, thinks that the biggest challenge might be tackling how politics is financed in the US.
