OECD On the Level Podcast

The counterfeiters - Understanding a dark business

OECD's "On the Level" podcasts are dedicated to the quest for a “level playing field” for government, business and society. The strict definition of a level playing field is a market or industry in which all participants compete under the same conditions. But a level playing field also refers to conditions of basic fairness and equality of opportunity within our societies. Both interpretations have their place at On the Level.
