March 11, 2010 | NPR· The richest man in the world is no longer American. Forbes magazine's world's richest list has Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim on top. Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffet occupy the second and third spots, respectively. Indian billionaires round off the top 5. Luisa Kroll, co-editor of the list, discusses the changing face of the world's richest people. March 11, 2010 | NPR· A budget crisis could lead New York to close the farm where John Brown is buried. Closing the burial site would save taxpayers about $40,000 a year, a tiny chunk of the state's $8 billion deficit. Historians say that's not enough to warrant the loss. March 11, 2010 | NPR· Dozens of band instrument makers used to be part of the local economy in Elkhart, Ind. But since the city was battered by the economy, only three major companies remain. One says it will only manufacture instruments in the U.S. — and it will hire new workers to grow the business and regain market share. March 11, 2010 | NPR· Across the country, cash-strapped cities are coming up with novel ideas for raising money — imposing new charges on everything from sodas and plastic bags to library late fees and emergency-response services. With at least two more years of bad budgets ahead, look for cities to turn to niche taxes. March 11, 2010 | NPR· Elkhart, Ind., is known as the RV-making capital of the world.

Republicans want it to be part of an existing agency but Democrats say that's been tried and didn't work. March 10, 2010 | NPR· The Nasdaq composite index hit an all-time high a decade ago today — but now the index is less than half of what it was. The stock exchange, home to many of the tech stocks that benefited from the dot-com boom, is still feeling the effects of the bust that left scars on the economy. March 10, 2010 | NPR· Of the 16 countries that use the euro, some have stable economies, while others are in bad shape. But in recent weeks, there has been speculation that Greece might default on its debt, putting other European countries at risk. Just over a decade after the euro was introduced, the unified currency is having something of an existential crisis. March 10, 2010 | NPR· Inventories dropped 0.2 percent, while sales increased for a 10th consecutive month, up a solid 1.3 percent. Economists hope the steady rise in sales will prompt more inventory restocking, triggering increased factory production and providing support for the fledgling economic recovery. March 10, 2010 | NPR· The Labor Department reported on Tuesday that job openings increased in January. The number of openings in January rose about 7.6 percent to 2.7 million, compared with December.
