It's been another big week in business and we've chosen a selection of must-read articles for you including Alan Kohler on Babcock & Brown, Robert Gottliebsen on nuclear energy and Isabelle Oderberg on China's hunger for luxury goods.

Alan Kohler

Nuclear opportunity
Robert Gottliebsen
Australia has huge potential to reduce the threat of both anthropogenic climate change and nuclear weapons proliferation, but only if it can overcome massive political opposition to nuclear power.
China's new taste for luxury
Isabelle Oderberg
Australian food producers are realising the massive potential of Chinese consumers' growing taste for goods that Mao would have pushed away.

Alan Kohler

Echoes of the 1990 recession
Stephen Koukoulas

iPhone frenzy, again
Nathan Burley
With the new iPhone set to be launched in Sydney on 19 June, participating carriers will be licking their lips.
