Title: The Party’s Over: How the West Went Bust
Description: In the teeth of the worst financial crisis in living memory,
BBC Business Editor Robert Peston examines how the world got
to this point and how the collossal imbalances in the global
ecoonomy have left the UK in need of a radical economic
overhaul. In this first of two programmes Peston examines
how, thirty years ago, momentous decisions were taken which
shaped the world we live in today. In China, Deng Xiao Ping
opened up the country to foreign capitalists; in Britain and
America, the free market revolution was unleashed by
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. "The Party’s Over"
compares the lives of workers in a Chinese company with
their co-workers in Britain. Robert Peston interviews
bankers, politicians and economists, and concludes that the
boom we enjoyed before the crash was based on an illusion,
and that the world’s economy is now so unbalanced that in
the West we face a sobering wake-up call.
