General Motors. Driving the world from Detroit?

Description

With hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide, a net worth in the billions, and a dozen brands, General Motors is at the center of the political debate over globalization, the environment, and the future of the U.S. economy. In this program, GM President and CEO Rick Wagoner talks with BBC Chief Washington Correspondent Matt Frei. Topics under discussion include America's unending love affair with cars, the environmental impact of automobiles, and a dilemma shared by all domestic car manufacturers: faced with increasing international competition and an already slim profit margin that is steadily shrinking, how can their industry possibly remain viable?
