New Business Paradigms April 9, 2015
April's show focuses on the situation in California\u2014the country's most prosperous state\u2014which is currently in the grips of an epic drought. The struggle over\xa0water rights in California is\xa0almost as old as the state itself but this unprecedented drought is creating new pressures that will ultimately define the future of California. This scenario is a case study for the new era of climate change-related crises, adaptations, and ultimately our survival.\n\nIn our business analysis segment, we discuss Shell's risky gamble to buy BG Group. Hear Rinaldo's take on this deal\u2014he calls it "dinosaurs mating." He also talks about the outlook for the 3D Printing sector why the pioneers in emerging industries are not always the biggest winners.\n\nOur Economic Doomsday Clock ticks one minute closer to midnight, arriving at 11:51PM. A likely Greek Exit from the euro combined with bank exposure to the chaos, especially in Europe, makes international destabilization more likely than last month.\n\nNever miss an episode by subscribing with\xa0iTunes.\n\nIf you listen on a smartphone, use the\xa0Stitcher App.\n\nPlease sign up for a\xa0membership level\xa0that fits you budget!
