James Naughtie looks at how Joe Biden will deal with Donald Trump's economic legacy.

In this third part of his series examining the Trump presidency and how Joe Biden will chart a different course, James turns his attention to the US economy: for so long the engine of the world economy. He finds some stark differences - where Donald Trump saw deregulation as the path to economic growth, Joe Biden will take the opposite approach, with a focus on tackling climate change a key part of his economic message. But away from the environment, on their approaches to tax cuts and economic stimulus, as well as how they approach international trade, the differences are far less stark. James finds that in some of these areas, President Trump's change of course is unlikely to be reversed.
