This week on The Business with Aditya Chakrabortty we take a look at the financial implications of chancellor George Osborne's announced cuts to the Conservative Party conference this week. With analysis by Nick Watt and Will Hutton from the conference floor, Aditya is joined in the pod by deputy City editor of the Guardian Jill Treanor and the editor of society, health and education, Patrick Butler.
And if you like your fiscal analysis set to country music then Merle Hazard is your man. Merle is the alter-ego of Nashville investment manager Jon Shayne who's reaction to the credit crunch was to take up his guitar and compose songs like "Bailout" and "H-E-D-G-E". Aditya talks cowboy boots and hedge fund management with economists and traders' favourite crooner.
Plus, we have the second instalment of professor Ha-Joon Chang's 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism.
