Peter Day hears from Chandran Nair, Management Consultant and Founder of The Global Institute for Tomorrow. Author of a book called 'Consumptionomics: Asia's role in Reshaping Capitalism and saving the planet.' In the book he argues that for years the engine of global capitalism has been fuelled by consumption \u2026 but that the world will not be able to cope with the expansion of this style of consumption in the developing world and therefore a new model has to be found. \nProducer: Julie Ball\nEditor: Stephen Chilcott
