Excess Profits, Windfall Taxes and Incentives

When is a profit excess and if so should we impose a windfall tax to restore economic equilibrium? Can recently announced tax cuts incentivise business growth? With Evan Davis.

Is it right that businesses making what look like windfall profits pay windfall taxes? And do the recent announcements from the government to lower taxes in general lead to economic growth? Evan Davis and guests discuss.
