Privatising the World: Water, seeds, genes, healthcare - very few things today are not to be considered saleable commodities. 'The Bottom Line' investigates the privatisation of the world and invites us to reflect on the 'common good' notion which is threatened by the decreasing role of the state and the prevailing trend to patent everything that obviously seemed to belong to society for generations.

An Domhan ar Díol: Uisce, síolta, géinte agus cúram sláinte - is beag rud nach féidir a dhíol sa lá atá inniu ann. Déanann an clár seo cíoradh ar phríobháidiú an domhain agus tarraingíonn ár n-aird ar an meon 'leas na ndaoine', meon atá i mbaol anois mar gheall ar ról an Stáit i saol na linne a bheith ag laghdú agus an claonadh a bhíonn ann paitinn a fháil ar gach rud, fiú rudaí a ceapadh riamh anall go mba leis an bpobal i gcoitinne iad.
