We also hear from Clemens Fuest, who heads the Institute for Economic Research in Munich; and what is the reaction amongst businesses in Northern Ireland? John Campbell is the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's business editor in Belfast. Professor Raghuram Rajan who has recently been linked to the upcoming vacancy at the Bank of England, has just written a book warning about the shortcomings of capitalism; the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rob Young asked him if capitalism is broken. And in Canada, the province of Alberta is making a drive to increase oil production, we hear from Kat Eschner who's been covering the story for CNBC.com. Also on the programme, makers of traditional camembert cheese are upset with French lawmakers amid a labelling row; we hear from Veronique Richez-Lerouge, president of the Association of Terroir Cheese.
