Marketplace Morning Report for Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015
Airing on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015: First up on today's show, we'll talk about some of the back-and-forth in a capitol hill hearing room yesterday. And Sears reports their earnings today. We look at the real estate, which is about all the retailer really has left. And in our global economy, almost everything is connected in some circuitous way. We're exploring that fact in a series we're doing with the BBC called Six Routes to Riches—a look at the challenges and opportunities people face as they earn a living. Today, a story that starts with a riddle. What connects the following things: a $500 dollar pair of sunglasses for sale at a boutique in China, an economic slump in Croatia, and a pair of white inspection gloves in Berlin?
