A new "popular capitalism" is needed to improve the bonus culture of banking, the Prime Minister is expected to say today.

  David Cameron’s speech was the best of the three party leaders’  discussions of what kind of capitalism we want in the future.  They have made it a topical matter, as they press on with their attacks on bankers and bonuses, reflecting considerable public disaste for some of the extremes we have witnessed and are
