This Week's World Episode 2: Will we ever grow rich again? BBC News

Published on 21 May 2016
Eight years on from the economic crash, the world economy is still stagnating. This is not how it was meant to be. Politicians around the world have been promising an era of prosperity for all would return. Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers tells us how he believes things may never improve – and we ask why growth has disappeared. One theory: we’re not having as many babies as we need to. We also feature former ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet and former South African Reserve Bank governor Tito Mbweni.
