For Marketplace, Thursday, August 25, 2011
What influences will Steve Jobs leave behind now that he’s resigned from Apple? Warren Buffett announced his $5 billion investment in Bank of America today. Bob Moon talked to Maggie Wilderotter from Frontier Communications about campaign donations from companies, and to Carmen Reinhart about how these economic troubles differ from the past. Interest in developing in the Arctic is heating up. The University of Texas has a plan to get more out of its faculty. And here are the songs we played:
- Optimus Maximus – Gatekeeper

- Blinking Pigs – Little DragonBuy
- Sanctuary – SBTRKTBuy
Marketplace is on a mission.
We believe Main Street matters as much as Wall Street, economic news is made relevant and real through human stories, and a touch of humor helps enliven topics you might typically find…well, dull.
Through the signature style that only Marketplace can deliver, we’re on a mission to raise the economic intelligence of the country—but we don’t do it alone. We count on listeners and readers like you to keep this public service free and accessible to all. Will you become a partner in our mission today?
