The German View of Brexit

We hear the German view on what a British exit from the EU would mean for its biggest economy, and Prof Richard Thaler looks back on his career built on Behavioural Economics.

We hear from Berlin one day ahead of Britain's Brexit referendum. What would a British exit from the EU mean for Germans and the region's largest economy? We hear from Dr Alexander Gauland, the head of the AfD group in the Brandenburg state parliament, J眉rgen Hardt, an MP from the CDU, Markus Kerber, the head of the influential BDI which represents German industry and Nicolai von Ondarza is from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

Also, we talk to professor Richard Thaler, author of a new book Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioural Economics. He is these days a celebrity academic, a friend to presidents, and he is also one of the stars of an Oscar-winning movie.
