A look back at the main business stories of 2013. Tragedy struck in April this year, when the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed, crushing the workers making clothes inside and killing 1,100 people. The disaster raised huge questions for the Bangladesh government, global clothing brands and consumers of cheap clothes in rich countries. There were continuing concerns that China will be the next economy to suffer the impact of the bursting of a house price bubble. The introduction of major healthcare reform in the United States, was initially a technical disaster, with websites set up to offer health insurance not working properly. Many young and health citizens didn't initially sign up for Obamacare. And following the death of Nelson Mandela, African leaders reflected on his impact across the continent.
