New Hampshire Primary Analysis
Larry Mantle and guests provide analysis of the results of last night's New Hampshire Primary election.
Gender and the Election
Larry Mantle opens the phones to listeners to discuss the issue of gender and the Presidential election. What turned the tide yesterday in New Hampshire that paved the way for Hillary's win? What was your view on her emotional response to a question in New Hampshire? What is your view on a woman running for President? Does she face many hurdles, or do you view her as a seasoned politician and able to handle the scrutiny?
The Story of People and Pants in the World of Global Trade
From dingy offices in Azerbaijan to the hip lofts of Manhattan, from the dimming industrial heartland of Italy to an unexpectedly modern garment factory in China, the story of the global multi-billion dollar textile industry is one of economic complexity, innovation and exploitation. In her new book Fugitive Denim, author Rachel Louise Snyder travels up and down the rag trade's food chain to draw a portrait of the industry by focusing on that icon of the Americana, the denim cloth of blue jeans. The author joins Larry Mantle to talk about the origins and development of one of the most significant consumer industries in the global economy.
