A Channel 4 programme due to air on Monday 20th April might be one for the departmental DVD library? How the Banks went Bust is due to be shown at 2000 hrs. Economist and author Will Hutton gives the definitive insider’s account of what went wrong. Talking to the key players in government, Wall Street and the City, Hutton unveils the true extent of the greed, ambition and reckless risk-taking that is now carrying the economy into the worst recession for a century. Is it really true that no one saw it coming? Or could the recession have been prevented? More details here.
