The Business: Inflation and QE2

As the Bank of England relased its quarterly inflation report we hear from one of the monetary policy committee's former members. David "Danny" Blanchflower is in the studio and he tells us that Britain should follow the US with a second round of quantitative easing.

Economics editor Larry Elliott had a chance to question the Bank's governor Mervyn King and says he still doesn't see how the Bank intends to tackle inflation.

Meanwhile, figures as diverse as the German finance minister and Sarah Palin have been lining up to condemn US monetary policy. But what are the alternatives if a double-dip recession is to be avoided?

Also this week, we hear from Michael O'Malley, a social psychologist and management consultant. His new book 'The Wisdom of Bees' explores what business leaders can learn from bees.
