The role of business in social justice

Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.

Can businesses help create a fairer society? We hear from Andre Perry, fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities. The 大象传媒's Janet Barrie reports on an outbreak of African swine fever in Bulgaria which has led to more than 130,000 pigs being culled. Plus, we have a report on why India is becoming a popular spot on tours by international bands. And thousands of people have been out shopping as the traditional post-Christmas sales have started in many parts of the world. Presenter Rahul has been hearing from bargain hunters on London's Oxford Street and we get financial advice from Elizabeth Willard Thames, who's managed to retire at 32 just through living frugally.

All this and more discussed with our two guests on either side of the Pacific throughout the show: Nicole Childers, Executive Producer of Marketplace Morning Report, in Los Angeles. And David Kuo, CEO of The Motley Fool in Singapore.
