Hidden International Financial Flows?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Hidden international financial flows: Do the "errors and omissions" in the UK's international balance of payments data contain evidence of dirty money flowing out of Russia? Simon Jack hears the suspicions of Deutsche Bank economist Oliver Harvey. Also in the programme, the BBC's Jane O'Brien reports from Houston about how Texan billionaires are helping to keep the arts scene afloat there. And Lucy Kellaway offers her opinion as to why an initiative by US bank Wells Fargo to monitor and promote happiness in the workplace may be wrong-headed.
