The Bottom Line

Available for over a year

Evan Davis and his business guests talk about government intervention as President Obama plans to limit the salaries of corporate bosses who receive bailout funds. Are these extreme measures for extreme times or could we see a new partnership between politicians and big business emerging from this economic downturn? And Paul Bennett, partner in global design firm IDEO, Hilary Devey, CEO of successful freight transport company Pall-Ex, and Robyn Jones, CEO of contract caterers Charlton House, discuss why home working didn't take off as predicted back in the early 1990s.
