    In the Balance comes from the Future in Review Conference in Southern California, where delegates gaze into their crystal ball to tell us what the world of business and technology will look like in years to come. Ed Butler and his guests discuss whether clean technology in North America has made a clean get away. In the era of shale gas extraction and oil production from giant tar sands, is anyone still investing in clean energy? And close to the West Coast homes of Google and Apple what do company bosses feel about the row over corporate tax avoidance? Ed is joined on the shores of the Pacific Ocean by Sheeraz Haji, CEO of the Clean Tech Group; Heidi Lubin, CEO of HEVT; and John Lowell of Zinc Air Group.

Are they out of sync and does it matter? Plus, when countries protect their economies is that selfishness or self-preservation? And if you want to know what a selfie is, our resident comedian Colm O'Regan is there to tell you. Manuela Saragosa's guests this week are Yannick Naud, Portfolio Manager at Glendevon King Asset Management; Michala Marcussen, Global Chief Economist at Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking; and Gabriel Stein, Managing Director of Stein Brothers UK and Special Advisor to Oxford Economics.

    For the past 7 years, it's been a case of Turkey trying to convince the European Union that it's ready to become a member. But years of rejection appear to have taken their toll with Turkish businesses looking increasingly to new, non-EU markets. And while Turkey looks east, so does academia - catching up on 800 years of lost learning.
