The Coffee Crisis | Wide Angle

This video segment from Wide Angle: "The Market Maker" follows the Ethiopian government's effort to mitigate the impact of the 2008 global economic collapse by calling upon Eleni Gabre-Madhins' fledgling Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) to start trading coffee-the nation's primary cash crop-before it is logistically prepared to do so.
