Why Squeezing the Oligarchs Won't Work

from Money Talking Hosted by WNYC

President Obama says “Russia stands alone” after its annexation of Crimea in the Ukraine.

This week on Money Talking, Rana Foroohar with Time magazine and Joe Nocera with The New York Times consider if the sanctions are going to have any effect. What would mean if Russian billionaires can't buy New York City penthouses? And Rupert Murdoch's plans for succession at Fox and News Corp; it involves his sons.
