Synopsis
Business Weekly looks at the complexities of doing business in Africa. Should foreign companies worry that sometimes a contract will only last as long as the government that signs it? But is renegotiation essential, especially when the deal was flawed in the first place? The President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and the former chairman of the oil giant Shell, Mark Moody Stuart, talk about their experiences. Also, don't blame the boss - he may be rich, but is he really responsible? Plus, why David Blanchflower, the economics professor who used to help set the UK's interest rates, fell out with the Bank of England. And why do Americans seem more charitable than Indians?
