Episode notes

German businesses are already thinking of shifting production to countries where energy is cheaper. America might be a better place for them to invest because of massive subsidies that have been announced as part of the Biden Administration's Inflation Reduction Act. From supply chains to inflation, it seems like the biggest stories right now have to do with the economy and finance. On Behind the Money, we make sense of what's happening in business and finance and how it's shaping our world.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former chief executive of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has been arrested in the Bahamas, Goldman Sachs is considering cutting hundreds of jobs, Belgian police raided a European parliamentary office in a widening corruption scandal involving World Cup host Qatar, and Germany’s reliance on Russian gas has exposed a weakness that could derail the country’s economic success.
