Shoot us a Text.Episode #1030: Today we're talking about the real hurdles to moving auto production stateside, catching up with Carlos Ghosn's new life as a leadership coach (and fugitive), and Amazon's surprising new experiment that lets shoppers stray beyond its walls.Show Notes with links:A quarter of U.S. automotive assembly capacity sat unused at the end of 2024, suggesting opportunity amid the backdrop of President Trump's tariffs. However, shifting production to underutilized plants is far more complicated than it sounds.Toyota, BMW, and Honda used over 80% of their U.S. production capacity, leaving little room for more output.Automakers like Stellantis, GM, Ford, and Nissan have more idle capacity but face logistical and investment hurdles.Stellantis' Warren Truck Plant has just 17% utilization but can't quickly absorb new models without major investment, despite being able to build related pickups and SUVs.Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant could theoretically take on new models like the Mustang Mach-E, but even the fastest transition would still take six months to a year to execute.Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions said: "The rhetoric that moving assembly of vehicles into open spaces is easy and quick is not accurate."Five years after his dramatic escape from Japan, former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn is living a quieter life in Lebanon — but remains an international fugitive still shadowed by legal battles.Ghosn lives in a disputed $20M mansion, running executive bootcamps for midlevel managers at a Lebanese university.Despite legal threats from France and Japan, Lebanon's refusal to extradite its citizens keeps him out of reach.He still denies all accusations, blaming Nissan insiders for orchestrating his downfall to block a deeper Renault-Nissan alliance.Ghosn remains bullish on globalization, calling recent tariff tensions “a joke” against broader interconnected trends.He criticized the post-split struggles of Nissan and Renault: “Nissan is begging for some financial help, and Renault is back to what it was before 1999 — a small European company.”In a surprising pivot from its traditional walled-garden strategy, Amazon is testing a program that lets customers shop directly from third-party brand websites — without leaving its app.Shoppers can either be redirected to brand sites or complete purchases through Amazon's “Buy for Me” checkout feature.Amazon handles payment transfer securely, while shipping, returns, and customer service stay with the brand.The move allows Amazon to collect deeper shopper data, enhancing ad targeting and product recommendations.Industry experts suggest Amazon is trading short-term sales for long-term insights and stronger ad business.Jason Goldberg of Publicis said: “The bigger share of a custoJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Igor Prusa, Ph.D. is a Czech scholar in Japanese and media studies, currently affiliated with Ambis University Prague and Metropolitan University Prague. He received PhDs in media studies at Prague's Charles University and at the University of Tokyo. His research interests include media scandals in Japan and anti-heroism in popular fiction. Today we're going to talk about his new book, Scandal in Japan: Transgression, Performance and Ritual (Routledge, 2024). He recently started teaching a course at the University of Vienna on the subject.Prusa explains his definition of a scandal, emphasizing its public revelation and media framing. He highlights the Unification Church scandal involving former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, noting its unique trigger by a tragedy and the role of foreign media in revealing information. Prusa also discusses narrative aspects and media event characteristics of Japanese scandals, concluding that while controversies often serve as rituals, they rarely lead to fundamental societal improvements.They then mull over two major Japanese scandals. The first is the Olympus scandal of 2011, exposed by CEO Michael Woodford, which involved hiding company losses for over 20 years through creative accounting and mergers. The scandal was initially covered by outside media, with the Financial Times playing a crucial role. The Nissan scandal, involving CEO Carlos Ghosn, revealed millions in personal financial gains and a conflict between Japanese and French governance. Ghosn's extravagant lifestyle and a planned merger with Renault further fueled public outrage. This conversation also highlights the role of media in scandal coverage and the cultural nuances of whistleblowing in Japan.Lastly, Prusa tells what his 3 favorite books on Japan are:1. Shimbun Kisha (新聞記者) by Isoko Mochizuki  (望月衣塑子). Written in Japanese, this book provides insights into the role of journalists in Japan and how they have helped expose various scandals, including the Moritomo Gakuen and Shiori Ito rape cases. The book inspired a 2019 Japanese film by the same name.2. Media and Politics in Japan edited by Susan Pharr and Ellis Krauss, with a chapter on political scandals by Maggie Farley. This is a classic introduction to understanding the relationship between media and politics in Japan.3. Idols and Celebrity in Japanese Media Culture edited by Patrick Galbraith and Jason Karlin. Offers valuable insights into the role of idols and celebrities in Japanese media and culture, and how scandals can emerge in this context.Be sure to check out Igor Prusa's book Scandal in Japan: Transgression, Performance and Ritual.Visit him on social media at the following links:Academic website: https://mup.academia.edu/IgorPrusaLinkedIn (follow here for the latest Japanese scandals and Prusa's analysis)Facebook The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press.

O HIV continua um desafio para a saúde pública. Em 2022, segundo a OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde), 39 milhões de pessoas conviviam com o vírus em todo o mundo. Mais de dois terços dos pacientes estão na África.   Embora nenhum medicamento seja ainda capaz de eliminar completamente o HIV do organismo, um novo tratamento inovador, o lenacapavir, baseado em duas injeções anuais, é considerado extremamente promissor. Mas o custo do medicamento - cerca de US$ 40.000 - ainda continua elevado e as indicações de uso são específicas. O Sulenca, nome comercial do antirretroviral, é um inibidor da função do capsídeo, a capa da proteína que envolve o vírus HIV-1. Ele atua nos estágios iniciais e finais do ciclo de replicação.  Seu mecanismo de ação permite alcançar e bloquear vírus que se tornaram multirresistentes em pacientes soropositivos e por isso ele é indicado como tratamento complementar, ou seja, associado a outros comprimidos.Nos estudos, o lenacapavir, encontrado nas formas oral e injetável, também demonstrou uma eficácia de quase 100% na prevenção contra a contaminação no caso de uma exposição ao HIV. O laboratório Gilead, que fabrica a molécula, assinou um acordo com seis fabricantes que permite a produção genérica do medicamento e o tornará acessível em 120 países.O Brasil ficou de fora dessa lista e um grupo de organizações pediu no último dia 1º de dezembro, Dia Mundial de Combate à Aids, medidas para acelerar o acesso. Fim da epidemia?A OMS, o Fundo Global e o UNAIDS estabeleceram 2030 como meta para o fim da epidemia. O lenacapavir pode ajudar a atingir esse objetivo? Segundo o infectologista francês Jade Ghosn, ainda existem obstáculos para disseminar o uso da nova molécula. Ghosn é coordenador regional da luta contra o HIV e as Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis da região Île de France, onde está situada Paris. Segundo ele, a molécula tem duas principais vantagens."A primeira é que o lenacapavir vem de uma nova classe de medicamentos", explica. "A segunda é que ele foi formulado para ser injetado por via subcutânea, ou seja, da mesma forma que a insulina, heparina, ou os anticoagulantes, e é administrado a cada seis meses.”Atualmente, os comprimidos para tratar o HIV devem ser tomados diariamente, o que exige disciplina – as pílulas não devem ser consumidas em jejum, por exemplo. No cotidiano, essa organização gera uma sobrecarga mental elevada. "O paciente também deve andar com a caixa de remédios na bolsa", lembra o infectologista, o que pode colocá-lo em situações constrangedoras, ou o "obriga", socialmente, a ter que expor seu problema de saúde, explica.“Os remédios fazem o paciente lembrar diariamente que têm a doença, eles comentam. Em termos de carga mental, não ter que pensar nisso por seis meses é um verdadeiro alívio e uma melhoria real na qualidade de vida das pessoas”, explicou Ghosn.Mas, apesar de todas as vantagens e de ser uma pista para avanços concretos na gestão cotidiana da doença, o lenacapavir custa caro e ainda é um tratamento complementar, reitera. Para controlar a carga viral, ou torná-la indetectável, o paciente soropositivo deve utilizar uma combinação de medicamentos, já que o vírus sofre mutações muito rapidamente. “Isso significa que, hoje, se você quiser utilizar o lenacapavir no tratamento, ele deverá estar necessariamente associado a outros comprimidos. O paciente então perde o benefício do tratamento injetável. Se no futuro as pesquisas identificarem uma molécula associada eficaz que também possa ser administrada a cada seis meses, aí teremos realmente o benefício de um tratamento 100% injetável”, analisa. Acesso gratuitoDe acordo com o infectologista francês, a Agência Nacional de Pesquisa sobre Aids e Hepatites Virais está realizando uma série de estudos para avaliar como a nova droga poderá ser integrada aos sistemas de saúde dos diferentes países, incluindo a França. No país, desde 2013, todos os soropositivos têm acesso gratuito aos tratamentos, independentemente da carga viral. Mas, o grande desafio continua sendo o diagnóstico, já que muitas pessoas não sabem que foram contaminadas e continuam transmitindo o vírus. Cerca de 43% das infecções são descobertas em um estágio avançado. Para o infectologista francês, os pacientes ainda têm medo de descobrir que são soropositivos e serem estigmatizados, mesmo após mais de 40 anos da descoberta do vírus.  Em sua opinião, há também menos informação do que deveria sobre as terapias que impedem a contaminação e controlam a evolução da doença. “O que é importante é que a mensagem e a comunicação em torno da infecção pelo HVI sejam mais positivas. Temos que explicar às pessoas que existem opções. Você é negativo? O importante é continuar negativo. Há ferramentas para evitar a contaminação", ressalta."Caso você seja positivo, hoje tratamos a infecção como uma doença crônica, como hipertensão, diabetes ou colesterol. Temos tratamentos que vão estabilizar a doença de forma permanente. A infecção nunca evoluirá para a AIDS e, principalmente, o vírus não será transmitido aos seus parceiros se você for tratado”, resume o infectologista francês.

Once a highly regarded executive credited with a successful run at the helm of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, Ghosn was arrested in Japan in 2018 and accused of misappropriating company funds and violating securities laws. After posting bail and being put under house arrest, he famously escaped Japan in a wooden box, fleeing to the relative safety of Lebanon, where he is a citizen and unlikely to be extradited.Still, Ghosn isn't entirely insulated from the long arm of the law. Recent reports detail what Nissan says are efforts it has undertaken to “recover damages suffered due to Carlos Ghosn's misconduct” and in the latest case, it appears the company can claw back a luxury yacht.Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.

Shoot us a Text.Happy one year anniversary of ASOTU CON 2023! This Thursday, we're talking about how former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn was ordered to hand his superyacht over to Nissan, Walser Automotive's partnership with Wichita State University Tech, and the effects of retailers putting products behind locks.Show Notes with links:In a long-standing legal dispute, Nissan secured a court victory against its former chairman, Carlos Ghosn, who was found to have illicitly used company funds to buy a luxury yacht. The British Virgin Islands court ruling requires Ghosn to surrender the 121-foot superyacht "Shachou" and pay millions in damages.The court found Ghosn funneled $32 million from Nissan's CEO Reserve Fund through intermediaries, including Nissan Middle East, to purchase the yacht.The Custom Line Navetta 37 yacht features five main cabins, four crew cabins, and seven bathrooms.Ghosn, who fled Japan in 2019 to escape criminal charges, now lives in Lebanon under an Interpol red notice and denies all accusations, stating he will appeal the ruling.Nissan lauded the decision as part of its broader legal efforts to recover funds misappropriated by Ghosn.“Nissan will continue such efforts to make Carlos Ghosn accountable for his misconduct,” the company said in a statement.Walser Automotive Group took a major step in addressing the nation's skilled automotive technician shortage by partnering with WSU Tech to renovate its automotive service facility in Wichita, Kansas.The Walser Automotive Service Lab is part of a $3 million renovation at WSU Tech.The new 30,000-square-foot space includes expanded automotive program capacities and a heavy truck area.Walser referenced a study showing a 3-to-1 demand-to-supply ratio for technicians, with over 600,000 needed by 2024.Many other Walser employees in Wichita also receive continuing education through WSU Tech."WSU Tech has been a vital partner in supporting our techs' growth. Strengthening our relationship with WSU was an easy decision." said Randy Lammle, Walser SVP of dealership operations.In response to rising concerns about shoplifting, many retailers have resorted to locking items in display cases. However, a new Consumer World survey suggests this approach may be harming sales as much as it helps prevent theft.Just 32% of shoppers seek out an employee to unlock a case when faced with a locked product.55% will choose to shop elsewhere if an item is inaccessible, and 13% will opt for a different product in-store.Retailers like Target have begun locking more items, citing organized retail crime, but recent data suggests concerns about theft are decreasing.Amanda Mull of Bloomberg pointed out a growing frustration: “Stores that lock up too much stuff become giant vending machines with no place to insert your money.”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

It's time for our summer tradition at Here's the Thing, where staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives in our Summer Staff Picks series. This week, we revisit Alec Baldwin's 2023 interview with documentary filmmaker James Jones, who tells the unbelievable story of CEO-turned-fugitive Carlos Ghosn in “Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn.” In 2018, the former auto executive of Nissan and Renault was arrested in Japan on charges of financial misconduct. He escaped prosecution by being smuggled out of the country…in a box. Jones, director of the BAFTA-winning “Chernobyl: The Last Tapes,” explores questions surrounding CEO excess and a potential corporate takedown in this 2023 Apple TV+ series. Alec Baldwin speaks with Jones about getting Ghosn to be interviewed for the series, the people who suffered collateral damage and if Ghosn, now residing in Lebanon, will ever be held accountable.  And in an additional recent interview, Alec speaks with Michael Taylor, the Green Beret who coordinated Ghosn's escape, about how he became involved in the plot, what it was like for him serving time in a Japanese prison for his role in the affair and if he and Ghosn ever crossed paths following his release. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nadine Ghosn joined me on Collectors Gene Radio today and I am not sure there is someone who is making as much noise as she is in fine jewelry. After a stint at Hermes, Nadine found herself yearning for a creativity spark and man did she get it right. Her designs are all about creating a sense of nostalgia from the things we recognize most and using luxurious materials and stones to turn them into functional jewelry pieces. Like her stackable burger ring, or her rose gold pencil bracelet, or her custom designs for the likes of Drake & Lil Yachty. If that's not enough, her pieces have been worn by Beyonce, the late Karl Lagerfeld, and she's been making custom croissants out of gold for Cedric Grolet. The best part of it all? She's a one woman show who is willing to do whatever it takes. With her favorite saying being “Don't think outside the box, think like there is no box”, Nadine has proven the counterarguments most jewelers told her from day 1 and continues to push the boundaries. So without further adieu, this is Nadine Ghosn, for Collectors Gene Radio.Nadine Ghosn Fine Jewelry - https://nadineghosn.com/

¿Cómo se pasa de ser uno de los directores ejecutivos más venerados de la industria automovilística a ser encarcelado en Japón, escapar en una caja y acabar fugitivo con una orden de arresto internacional? Esta historia la cuentan los familiares y colaboradores más cercanos de Ghosn. Éxito, arrogancia, paranoia y los oscuros secretos detrás de su ascenso y caída. Un cuento de nuestros tiempos. Un largometraje documental que narra el meteórico ascenso de la estrella de la industria automotriz, las rivalidades internas, las tensiones que desató dentro de la Alianza Nissan-Renault que llevaron a su dramático arresto en Japón, encarcelado como presunto criminal, a ser una celebridad internacional fugitiva después de su huida sorprendida. Una película de investigación global con un equipo de periodistas talentosos de Francia y Japón para garantizar conocimientos, junto con un director británico galardonado con una gran combinación de periodismo y ambición cinematográfica. Carlos Ghosn dirigía dos empresas automotrices que ayudó a revivir: la francesa Renault y la japonesa Nissan. Su fuga de Japón en diciembre de 2019 en una gran caja que fue transportada en un jet privado asombró al mundo. Más allá de la hazaña se encuentra una historia de nuestros tiempos. Una historia apasionante donde chocan la política, el poder, la ambición y la codicia. La caída en desgracia de un magnate. A medida que Ghosn se convirtió en el centro de atención de los medios de comunicación mundiales, algunos secretos oscuros sobre su pasado salieron a la superficie. Con entrevistas a partes interesadas clave con asientos de primera fila tanto en Europa, Oriente Medio y Japón, incluido Louis Schweitzer, ex director ejecutivo de Renault que contrató a Ghosn; Hiroto Saikawa, sucesor designado de Ghosn en Nissan; Patrick Pelata, ex director de operaciones de Renault; Greg Kelly, exdirector representante de Nissan; Ravinder Passi, ex asesor general global de Nissan; Andy Palmer, ex director de operaciones de Nissan; Nayla Beydoun, la hermana de Carlos Ghosn y muchas más. El documental también cuenta la historia interna de la preparación de la asombrosa fuga e incluye fotografías exclusivas de la extravagante y lujosa fiesta en el Palacio de Versalles. El documental también incluye el raro testimonio de la viuda de uno de los tres empleados de Renault que se suicidaron en 2007 cuando la fuerza laboral estaba sometida a una presión muy intensa para enfrentar los desafíos establecidos por los ejecutivos de Carlos Ghosn. Renault fue sancionada por los tribunales franceses. Y nuevos detalles sobre la policía privada de Ghosn en Renault, que en 2011 creyó erróneamente que había descubierto una red de espionaje que robaba secretos para China. Ghosn admitió desolado un error y despidió a su número 2. Potenciales malversaciones y pagos ocultos para su beneficio personal, uso de jets corporativos, residencias privadas en Líbano y Brasil pagadas por Nissan, un yate de 37 metros… la justicia japonesa y francesa han emitido órdenes de arresto contra Carlos Ghosn en el marco de sus respectivas investigaciones por malas prácticas financieras, mal uso de activos corporativos, lavado de dinero y corrupción. Carlos Ghosn declinó ser entrevistado para este documental. Sigue prófugo en el Líbano y sigue afirmando su inocencia en todos los casos por los que se le acusa.

Just over 5yrs ago Nissan arranged for their CEO Carlos Ghosn to be arrested and charged with financial crimes that involved, among other things, not actually stealing anything. Mr Ghosn is now hiding in Lebanon, where he can't be extradited, and Nissan has taken a beating financially. Maybe next time quietly fire your CEO and avoid a raft of problems.

In 2017 Carlos Ghosn was on top of the world, he was a Japanese national hero, renowned for bringing Nissan back to life from the brink of failure. His face was on the cover of magazines, his story was depicted in Manga, he even carried the torch at the Olympics in his home country of Brazil. His sudden arrest in 2018 for financial crimes was an unexpected twist in his story that made him the center of international intrigue.

Many critics might tell you the 2023 Nissan Leaf is well past its prime and a purveyor of old tech. But after a week in the Leaf, Host Jack Nerad came to a different conclusion. It might be one of the best electric car values on the market right now. In its upscale SV form the Leaf offers 212 miles of range and a 214-horsepower 160-kW electric motor. While these aren't stunning numbers, they must be viewed in the context of the suggested retail price. At $37,750, including the $1,095 destination charge, the Leaf SV is one of the least expensive vehicles on the market offering more than 200 miles of range. Meanwhile, the entry-level Leaf S offers about 150 miles of range at a suggested price of less than $30,000. These are just hints as to why Jack Nerad thinks the Leaf is one of the biggest EV bargains on the market. And his week road testing the perky hatchback just solidified that opinion. At the same time Nerad was testing the Leaf, Co-Host Chris Teague was evaluating the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, a vehicle that might be the unofficial Crossover Utility of New England. Could the Crosstrek stand up to the rigors of late spring in Maine…and to the rigors of the Teague's 80-pound dog? We'll tell you in this episode. Our special guest this week is interesting guest Brian Nielander, chief exterior designer of the 2023 Dodge Hornet. Host Jack Nerad recently had a chance to talk with him about the first all-new Dodge vehicle in more than a decade, and we'll share that discussion with you. In the news this week, we have to ask the question is there a flying car in your future? That longtime dream might be closer to becoming a reality than you might think. We'll tell you who has made a startling announcement about this effort and the exciting details later in this segment. Also in the news, a well-reviewed electric vehicle is now the subject of a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. Several drivers of the vehicles report hearing a popping noise and then the car suddenly loses power. We'll have details on that critical safety issue. And in the True Crime Files Automotive Edition, fugitive Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has sued the company for more than $1 billion in a lawsuit filed to Lebanon's public prosecutor last month, according to a copy of the lawsuit seen by Reuters. As longtime listeners know Ghosn is currently living exile in Lebanon after have escaped from Japan where he was facing prison time.

FOLLOW UP: REVEALED EVIDENCE CASTS DOUBT ON GHOSN CHARGESEvidence, which Nissan and the Japanese prosecutors are supposed to have kept hidden from Carlos Ghosn's lawyers, indicate that Ghosn did not have a secret deal with a very small number of co-conspirators but that the board members of Nissan at the time, knew the details.

Collision Course: Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars That Upended an Auto Empire by Hans Greimel, William Sposato Named one of the Best Business Books of 2021 by The Wall Street Journal In Japan it's called the "Ghosn Shock"—the stunning arrest of Carlos Ghosn, the jet-setting CEO who saved Nissan and made it part of a global automotive empire. Even more shocking was his daring escape from Japan, packed into a box and put on a private jet to Lebanon after months spent in a Japanese detention center, subsisting on rice gruel. This is the saga of what led to the Ghosn Shock and what was left in its wake. Ghosn spent two decades building a colossal partnership between Nissan and Renault that looked like a new model for a global business, but the alliance's shiny image fronted an unsteady, tense operation. Culture clashes, infighting among executives and engineers, dueling corporate traditions, and government maneuvering constantly threatened the venture. Journalists Hans Greimel and William Sposato have followed the story up close, with access to key players, including Ghosn himself. Veteran Tokyo-based reporters, they have witnessed the end of Japan's bubble economy and attempts at opening Japan Inc. to the world. They've seen the fraying of keiretsu, Japan's traditional skein of business relationships, and covered numerous corporate scandals, of which the Ghosn Shock and Ghosn's subsequent escape stand above all. Expertly reported, Collision Course explores the complex suspicions around what and who was really responsible for Ghosn's ouster and why one of the top executives in the world would risk everything to escape the country. It explains how economics, history, national interests, cultural politics, and hubris collided, crumpling the legacy of arguably the most important foreign businessman ever to set foot in Japan. This gripping, unforgettable narrative, full of fascinating characters, serves as part cautionary tale, part object lesson, and part forewarning of the increasing complexity of doing global business in a nationalistic world.

On Episode 68 of DO NOT WORRY, Anthony, the interns, and special guest Jadventure discuss a bevy of topics! They're clarifying some of Anthony's points from last week's Gino vs Jad Ghosn debate, breaking down the new Boneless chicken obsession taking over the country, and talking Elio Dakouny vs Lynn Ibrahim. They're also reacting to more Elio Elay from Razor cut and reacting to a cringe gym coach, George M Assaf.

In this episode, Andrew is joined by Hans Greimel & William Sposato, authors of Collision Course: Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars That Upended an Auto Empire. Hans Greimel is an award-winning American business journalist based in Tokyo, where he serves as Asia Editor for Automotive News, overseeing coverage from Japan, China, and South Korea. He has been writing about Nissan and the alliance for more than a decade and has interviewed Carlos Ghosn multiple times, including a one-on-one interview after Ghosn's arrest. William Sposato is a Tokyo-based correspondent and consultant who has been active in Japan for more than twenty years, with senior roles at Reuters and the Wall Street Journal.

The Boundless: The Rise, Fall, and Escape of Carlos Ghosn by Nick Kostov, Sean McLain The unprecedented rise and catastrophic fall of one of the world's most feared and admired business executives—Carlos Ghosn—a remarkable story of innovation, hubris, alleged crimes, and daring international escape, as chronicled by two Wall Street Journal reporters. Carlos Ghosn always wanted more. Born in the Amazon, raised by a well-off—if scandalized—family in Beirut, and educated in Paris, Ghosn rose to prominence at Michelin in the United States, Renault in France, and Nissan in Japan. Along the way he earned monikers of Le Cost Killer, for his incisive business savvy, and Mr. 7-Eleven, for the hours he devoted to his work. Initially Ghosn thrived, becoming a poster boy for globalization and multinational corporations. Employees believed him to be among the greatest business minds of his generation, and the press hailed him a financial genius. The trouble started when Ghosn began to believe them. His power rose in tandem with an increasing certainty that he was underpaid and undervalued at his multiple posts. Executives grew unhappy with Ghosn's talk of a merger with Renault, calling his loyalty to Nissan into question. Resentments brewed, enough so that a group of Nissan executives set out to uncover the truth about the man who many throughout Nissan and Japan perceived as a savior. Eventually, Ghosn was accused of financial misconduct and arrested for a bevy of alleged crimes—all of which he vehemently denied. Yet even as he insisted his financial transactions were above board, Ghosn was planning an astounding escape, one that would either smuggle him out of Tokyo and back to his ancestral homeland of Lebanon; or land him in a Japanese prison for life. Drawning from intensive investigative reporting, and including never-before-seen insider details from key players in Ghosn's life and the investigations into him, Nick Kostov and Sean McLain piece together this fallen icon's life and actions across the globe. Their sensational globetrotting adventure reveals the complexity of a man who watched for decades as contemporaries with far less talent amassed far greater wealth, and who took drastic measures to ensure he would finally get his due.

Lebanon's May 15 elections results were confusing, with contradictory claims of victory and defeat. Much of the mainstream media coverage further obfuscated the results, with journalists celebrating the few self-described independents and reformists as a sign that some kind of change might be coming, while also appearing to cheer the apparent defeat of Hezbollah and its allies. Except they weren't defeated, and the independents are actually quite dependent, and the reforms they propose are likely to expedite the nation's collapse. To help parse what actually happened and why, Rania Khalek was joined by Jamal Ghosn, a columnist and editorial board member at Lebanon's Al Akhbar newspaper.

From the BBC World Service: China’s government introduces even tougher COVID lockdown restrictions, including alarms on people’s doors. France has issued an arrest warrant for Carlos Ghosn, the former boss of the Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi car alliance.

And, we meet a 100-year-old man in Brazil who’s worked for the same company for 84 years.

Speaking to the BBC's international business correspondent Theo Leggett, Mr. Ghosn said he had not profited from financial impropriety.
