For Marketplace, Monday, July 25, 2011
Recent mass layoffs at Cisco, Research in Motion and Borders are adding to a mood of uncertainty and negating government efforts to create jobs. Without an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, investors and businesses are unsure of where to put their money. Markets, meanwhile, remain calm.
China continues to invest in the U.S. TV networks are cheering over the end of the NFL lockout. Indiana private schools are welcoming prospective students to a week-long open house to show that private colleges can be affordable. And we heard about the i-limb, the latest innovation in prosthetic limbs. Here are the songs we played:
- We Could Forever – BonoboBuy
- Building a Grand Theory – SpunkshineBuy
- Cassettesingle – Fujiya and MiyagiBuy
- Futura – BattlesBuy
If you’re a member of your local public radio station, we thank you — because your support helps those stations keep programs like Marketplace on the air. But for Marketplace to continue to grow, we need additional investment from those who care most about what we do: superfans like you.
Your donation — as little as $5 — helps us create more content that matters to you and your community, and to reach more people where they are – whether that’s radio, podcasts or online.
When you contribute directly to Marketplace, you become a partner in that mission: someone who understands that when we all get smarter, everybody wins.
