The British Government has promised action to deal with the
scandal at Barclays.

The bank has been fined for trying to fix the interest rate at
which banks lend to each other - London Interbank Offered Rate -
or Libor.

Yet again it's the lack of regulation that is being blamed for a
financial problem.

Sarah Montague talks to Professor Niall Ferguson who argues that
the world is responding in the wrong way to the global financial
crisis.

He thinks the economic chaos which began in 2007 was caused by
too much regulation, not too little.
