Argentina on the Brink of Default
If Argentina doesn't reach a last-minute deal with creditors, it could soon default. What are the implications for its economy and other debtor nations?
If Argentina doesn't reach a last-minute deal with creditors, it could soon face default. What are the implications for its economy and other debtor nations? We hear from Stuart Culverhouse, chief economist and head of research at the investment bank, Exotix, and from Carlos Caicedo, senior principal analyst for Latin America, at the financial research and risk company, IHS Global.
And we ask, what would induce you to get a company logo tattooed onto your body? We hear from Ronald Jackson, a man who has done just that, and from his boss, Anthony Lolli of Rapid Realty, a US real estate firm, which is offering financial incentives for those who submit to the needle. Also, we hear from another CEO, Chuck Runyon of US fitness franchise - Anytime Fitness - who is simply reimbursing people who take his company's logo as a tattoo. He says more than 2000 people have now done so. Is this a positive branding strategy for everyone, or could it imply a subtle form of company arm-twisting? Our regular commentator, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times, is not a fan of the company tattoo.
