The American Dream

Business Weekly looks at the state of the American dream - is it over? Or is it taking a break during these troubled times? And a look at the future of the Internet - with one of its founding fathers.

Steve Evans goes in search of the American dream in Peachtree City, Georgia. A tale of despair, resilience and hope in the suburban South. Lesley Curwen talks to the father of the Internet about his now 30-year old offspring. Plus, the man who's been in charge of some of the biggest fraud cases of the past quarter of a century. New York's District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau, tells us why more frauds come to light in a downturn. And how the shipping industry and the Suez Canal are suffering under the dual burdens of recession and piracy.
