David Sirota had no idea that getting assigned to a little-known congressman from New England would end up shaping the rest of his life. That New England congressman was Bernie Sanders, and David quickly learned why our political and economic systems work the way they do, and that it’s no accident. Caleb talks to David about his life and career, how corruption entrenched itself in our lives, and the one indulgence that is capable of corrupting him.

Over the course of Erik Lie’s career, seemingly small decisions have transformed into defining moments. Everything from leaving his native Norway to study at the University of Oregon, to a squash partner’s nudge that he pursue a career as a finance professor. But it was his choice of a research topic—executive compensation—that led to the most significant moment of all: uncovering one of the most explosive corporate scandals of the 21st century.

Rewarding customer loyalty is probably as old as commerce. These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card. The fact that these rewards have an intrinsic value is something many easily forget about, making them a great target for fraud.
