How private equity is changing the dynamics of high finance and company investment. Power appears to be ebbing away from large financial institutions, such as banks, towards private equity. Private equity has evolved from collective investments, and is new way of owning businesses without intense bureaucracy. The so-called 'Masters of the Universe' are secretive and publicity shy but own many of the world's largest companies. Presenter: Peter Day.
