HARDtalk:
Vincent Cable and Caroline Atkinson
On
麻豆社 News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Thursday 6 March 2003), Tanya Beckett
interviews Vincent Cable, Economist and British MP and Caroline
Atkinson, former US Treasury Adviser.
With
war with Iraq looking ever more likely, questions are being asked
about how much it will cost, and how the world's economies will
cope.
Estimates
of the cost of war vary wildly, but experts do agree that an oil
shock could result and that the consequences could be severe.
But
Britain's Institute of Directors recently released a report saying
that there could be real benefits to a short, successful war.
Tanya
Beckett asks Vincent Cable and Caroline Atkinson if the world can
afford to go to war and if it can afford not to?
