| 2/11/26 | ![]() A hedge fund’s $8bn bet on Venezuela’s Citgo | When the hedge fund Elliott Management pursued the acquisition of the oil refinery business Citgo a few years ago, the deal was already a complicated one.

| 12/24/25 | ![]() The Economics Show: What economics gets wrong about human behaviour, with Richard Thaler | Economists like to model people as rational creatures who make self-interested decisions. But humans don’t act that way. Why do investors, politicians and ordinary people act against their best interests – and how can they be nudged into making better decisions? To find out, FT economics commentator Chris Giles speaks to Richard Thaler, the founding father of behavioural economics. Thaler is a professor at the University of Chicago who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on how humans make (often irrational) decisions.This is a repeat of an episode published on The Economics Show, a sister podcast of Behind the Money, on November 7, 2025. Subscribe to The Economics Show on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Presented by Chris Giles. Produced by Mischa Frankl-Duval. Manuela Saragosa is the executive producer.

| 12/15/25 | ![]() Whistleblowing in the UK, Ep. 2: Is it ‘British’ to pay whistleblowers? | In the UK, whistleblowers are encouraged to report wrongdoing, but often at cost to their livelihoods and careers. One solution would be to pay corporate whistleblowers for coming forward. However, many in government have held the idea for years that doing so is not very “British.” But now, longtime opposition to the idea seems to be shifting. Suzi Ring, the FT’s legal correspondent in London, explains how and why. Plus, we speak with Nick Ephgrave, the director of the UK’s Serious Fraud Office, who is taking inspiration from his decades spent with London’s Metropolitan Police Service to try to change the system.

| 12/8/25 | ![]() Whistleblowing in the UK, Ep. 1: The cost of speaking up | For years, corporate whistleblowers in the UK have found themselves in an unenviable predicament.

In this special two-part series, we explore why critics think this system is failing whistleblowers and what the UK can do to change things.In part one: We hear from two whistleblowers who share why they blew the whistle and what went wrong after.
