This week's show comes to you from the studios of NPR in New York where Tyler Brûlé and Andrew Tuck welcome retail whiz Elizabeth Margles to the studio to assess the current state of the department store and also chat to the editor of the newly redesigned Bloomberg BusinessWeek. On the line from Washington is Michael Shifter, president of the leading foreign policy think-tank Inter-American Dialogue, who gives us his insights into President Lula's recent trip to Moscow and Tehran, while culture editor Rob Bound dials in en route to Naples and plays us his musical highlight of the week.
