On this week's Business podcast, Aditya Chakraborrty's joined by an all-star cast to talk about bankers' bonuses
With JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, RBS et al preparing to fire the gun on this year's bonus season, investment bankers are in line to receive the largest payouts of their careers. Dan Roberts, Larry Eliiott, Jill Treanor and Richard Adams discuss whether anything can be done to curb this excess. Will chancellor Alistair Darling's super-tax really lead to an exodus from the City? What steps is the Obama administration taking? And is there anyone out there who'll stick up for the world's most maligned profession? Author John Lanchester, whose take on the credit crunch is published at the start of February, also shares his thoughts.
Finally, after the Cadbury's board recommended the company's £12bn sale to American food giant Kraft – we analyse what this means for British business. Should the deal have been cut off before it became such a hostile takeover?
