The Business podcast: A big time for small, social businesses

Size doesn't matter, and in this special edition of The Business, we discuss all things small and beautiful.

Aditya Chakrabortty is joined by Dan Roberts, Deborah Hargreaves, and social business guru Rod Schwartz to analyse whether Britain's small businesses hold the key to guiding the country out of recession.

Plus, our reporter Sarah Lowther investigates the world of small and medium enterprise. Are there still angles, investors, and dragons out there in these tough times? What incentives can the government provide to turn great ideas into profits? And which business practices can larger companies take from their smaller, start-up cousins?

Finally, we switch from small to big business and look at the likelihood of a so-called Tobin tax being imposed on international banking.

Have a listen and post your comments on the blog below, and head to our Small is Beautiful microsite for more blogs, podcasts and articles on the wonderful world of SME.
