Marketplace Tech for Friday, August 29, 2014
First up, Alibaba is getting ready to go on the road. The company and its banks want to raise $20 billion, which means they need to generate interest to the tune of some $40 billion. That’s a colossal amount of money to raise. How will it change the company’s approach to the process? And how well have you kept up with the week in tech news? This week host Ben Johnson takes on Marketplace senior reporter Stacey Vanek Smith.
