YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNow with The New York Times, Ewing has covered business and economics from Germany since 1994, and was perfectly positioned to report the Volkswagen scandal as it unfolded. His detailed account starts with a history of “the people’s car,” then delves into the current corporate culture that caused Volkswagen’s engineers to install software in 11 million cars to deceive emissions-testing mechanisms. Looking closely at VW’s actions, which have so far resulted in settlements of $20 billion with American regulators and car owners, Ewing illuminates a succeed-at-all-costs mentality that pervades many industries.
