Does capitalism have a moral dimension?

We ask whether successful firms should have a moral mission beyond simply making money.

We ask whether successful firms should have a moral mission beyond simply making money. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's business editor Simon Jack talks us through the arguments, with contributions from the chairman of Mars Corporation, Stephen Badger, and the chief executive of Unilever, Alan Jope. Also in the programme, the latest in our series of interviews exploring the economic policies of the UK's main political parties, ahead of next month's general election. Today we hear from Sir Vince Cable, who was leader of the Liberal Democrats until earlier this year. Plus we meet Danny Lidgate, of London's C Lidgate butchers, to hear how the firm has been providing Thanksgiving food to American ex-pats in London for the last thirty years.
