Capitalism dominates the globe as never before, but after years of bailouts, downgrades, stagnating growth and market instability, Michael Portillo asks if free-market capitalism is a broken system. In the second of two programmes, Amartya Sen, Will Hutton, Ha-Joon Chang, Gillian Tett and Hernando De Soto are among the critics and defenders of the free-market as Michael weighs up the costs and benefits of the economic idea that governs our lives. Producer: Julia Johnson.
