The Business: Rethinking retirment

Is it time to rethink our retirement?

On this week's Business podcast, Aditya Chakrabortty is joined by Ros Altmann to discuss pension plans, disappearing final salary schemes, and how the grey vote could become the most important demographic of them all.

Also in the programme, in the wake of the industrial disputes at the Lindsey oil refinery and on the London Underground, Deborah Hargreaves analyses whether the unions have been galvanised by the economic crisis.

Finally, the black ties were on but the gloves very much off as Mervyn King clashed with Alistair Darling over banking regulation. Patrick Collinson says that the chancellor and the governor of the Bank of England should be presenting a united front - and gives his take on Stephen Hester's £15m package to rebuild RBS.
