Kai took a look at the impact of the charges against former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta and spoke to Marketplace’s Stephen Beard about how personal relationships are affecting the eurozone talks. Floodwaters in Thailand are threatening manufacturing facilities of many multinational corporations. Efficiency efforts to bring down global computing power consumption may be better pointed elsewhere. Lastly, Todd Buccholz’s commentary sees the Greek bailout as a question of German culture. Here are the songs we played:
