Plenty of people are arguing that Donald Trump's presidential election win provides an opportunity for Britain's trading relationship with the United States; in fact, Theresa May said just that in Parliament earlier this week. But is the Prime Minister right? Is a Trump administration good for trade with the UK? To discuss this some more, Patrick Minford, Professor of Applied Economics at the Cardiff Business School joined Share Radio's Ed Bowsher.

Share Radio's Ed Bowsher looks ahead with MoneyWeek's Editor-in-Chief, Merryn Somerset Webb, for the best of this week's magazine. They cover articles on the Trump effect, Japanese funds, pain for buy-to-let investors, and complaints on fund fees.

For this week's Book Review, Share Radio's Ed Bowsher spoke to Bradley Birkenfeld, the author of 'Lucifer's Banker: The Untold Story of How I Destroyed Swiss Bank Secrecy.' Bradley used to be a banker at UBS in Switzerland where he made a lot of money, but he then became a whistleblower for corruption there. He received $104 million in compensation from the IRS in the US - as wel as 30 months in jail in the US for abetting tax evasion by his clients.

This is Emerging Opportunities, the only show on radio dedicated to global emerging markets. Your hosts are Share Radio's Juliette Foster and Gavin Serkin, the Managing Editor of the Frontier Funds Consultancy and author of 'Frontier: Exploring the Top Ten Emerging Markets of Tomorrow'. Well, as the world absorbs the magnitude of change about to be unleashed by American President-elect Donald Trump, one constituency feeling particularly nervous is the green energy lobby. Trump has dismissed evidence of mankind's impact on climate change as a "hoax" and President Obama's Clean Power Plan to cut plant emissions as a "war on coal." He's also vowed to "cancel" last year's Paris climate accord - an agreement by 190 countries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions - and says he'll dismantle the Environment Protection Agency. One company whose world Trump has changed in the space of a week is JCM Power. Juliette and Gavin were joined all the way from Toronto by the company's co-Founder and Chief Executive, Christian Wray.

Next month, the people of Ghana will vote in presidential and parliamentary elections against a backdrop of rising inflation and economic uncertainty. President John Dramani Mahama - who took power in 2012 - is looking to win a second term, though if he succeeds he'll face a series of uphill challenges. Second quarter GDP fell to 2.5% after a first quarter surge of 4.8%, while 30% of government revenue is paying off external debts, which according to anti-poverty groups is worsening Ghana's already fragile situation. Share Radio's Juliette Foster was joined in the studio by Tim Jones, Senior Policy and Campaigns Officer for the Jubilee Debt Campaign, and Professor John Weeks, Share Radio's regular economics commentator.
