Golden passports: just asking for trouble?
Cash for citizenship - a lawful way for nations to raise funds or a scheme open to abuse?
Cash for passports - a legitimate way for countries to get investment or a scheme open to abuse and corruption? That’s the big question we’ll be looking at on this episode of Business Weekly. We look at why the wealthy want to acquire them and hear from Cyprus where a passport corruption scandal has rocked the nation. We’ll also speak to the winner of this year’s Nobel prize for economics - about the strange way he found out he’d won - and of course discuss some of his work. And we’ll hear from the African animators who are taking on the world.
Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
