Title: Capitalism: A Love Story

rewards greed. Comic moments include Moore using a
loudhailer on Wall Street to ask for his money back and
cordoning off the Stock Exchange as a crime scene. A
passionate exposure of the causes of the financial collapse
of the century

Title: The Food Programme
Description: Taste: what exactly is it, how do we taste and how does it

improve meals for the elderly? If, on the other hand, you
are a 'super taster' does that make you the dinner guest
from hell? If you've experienced chemotherapy, what effect
has that had on your taste buds, and what is happening at
the Royal Marsden Hospital in London to improve meals for
cancer patients? What are the tastes that have assailed our
senses through the ages? Was the arrival of spices one of
the most significant events in culinary history? Sheila

Title: The Greed Imperative
Description: Having worked in the City before becoming an academic and a
nun, Dr Catherine Cowley is well acquainted with the
temptations and the financial risks that city workers face
each day. Dr Cowley questions whether money is the only
motivation for those who work in the City and discusses
whether greed is in fact a necessary and vital dynamic
behind a successful economy. Is greed linked to the endless
growth demanded by our capitalist society? Dr Edward
Skidelsky, lecturer in philosophy at Exeter University, says
that the economists in the past assumed that growth was a
process with an end, and once that end came, people would
enjoy the fruits of wealth. And as Karl Marx put it, 'we'd
hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon and discuss
poetry in the evening'. Although the finance sector is
currently being characterised as a hotbed of greed, would
any of us, given the opportunity and the circumstances, act
any differently? Are we focusing on bankers' greed so we
don't have to look at our own?
