麻豆约拍

On Business Matters today we catch up with the latest in the world of work and money with live guests in the US and Asia.

Apple's not short of cash so why's it asking for more with it's biggest bond issue? We ask why are so many people rushing to lend to it?

Also - we celebrate the 20th birthday of the internet and ask how far it's come from the original vision of its creators.

We're joined throughout the programme with Gordon Chang the author of "The Coming Collapse of China" and Shai Oster, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist with Bloomberg in Hong Kong. We discuss whether China really is the economic saviour of the future? Or is it facing coming collapse?

And could there be an end in sight for tax havens? We talk to the secretary general of the OECD Angel Gurria about his ambition to create a level tax playing field for the world.

Also - we explode the myth about people with pots of cash being all miserable and sad about it. It turns out - the data says that money CAN buy happiness.

We've got some shocking news from Germany - beer sales are down 20% in the last 20 years.

That's all on Business Matters today.
