If an industry pulls in $300 billion a year, it must be doing something right. And the industry investigated by the British editor for The Economist, Tom Wainwright has refined important business practices used by companies like Coca Cola and McDonalds to expand markets and maximize profit. It's the drug business, including legal highs that turned New Zealander Matt "Starboy" Bowden into a millionaire. Wainwright's new book is called Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel.
3:30 Our Changing World
Palaeontologists from Victoria University and GNS Science have for the first time determined how and when more than 2000 species of an ancient group of marine plankton became extinct. They found that the extinction rate of these species was largely influenced by global changes in climate and the ocean's temperature and circulation patterns. Veronika Meduna meets the team to see some of the fossils and to hear how these findings can help them to predict which current species may be most vulnerable to rapid climate change.
