On this week's Business podcast, we're talking credit. The government seems to think it's a right, but the banks think it's a privilege. So, if the banks aren't lending enough money, how do we get them to do more? Jill Treanor gives Aditya Chakrabortty her thoughts.
Also in the podcast, Seumas Milne joins us to assess the performance of business secretary Peter Mandelson. Is he really just a kindly pussy cat?
Finally, Dan Roberts analyses the implications for the City following the takeover of Friends Provident. Is it time to get out the white flag?
