The death of the office dress code

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston looks at how Poland has decided that the next phase of its economic growth needs to be fuelled by a shiny new infrastructure project: a massive airport built away from Warsaw. Is it the type of bold thinking we could learn from here or will it end up as a folly? Raphael Minder, Central Europe Correspondent of the Financial Times explains the plan. Laura Slattery of the Irish Times talks us through the ever more complex relationships between tech giants and world leaders. Plus, Fashion writer Bairbre Power on the changing face of office wear and how its lead to a growth in the business of personal shoppers.
