Gary Stevenson: Surviving the Broken Economy and His Mission to Stop Rising Inequality (E330)
Gary Stevenson is a British economist who made his name as a trader predicting the 2008 financial crash. But instead of staying in the world of high finance, he walked away to expose the deep flaws in the system that keeps wealth in the hands of a few while leaving most people struggling. In this episode, Jake and Damian sit down with Gary to break down the rising poverty crisis and how the economic system is designed to benefit the wealthy while keeping everyone else stuck. He explains why working harder isn’t the solution and how the financial rules are set up to make it nearly impossible for most people to get ahead. Gary also dives into the impact of major political shifts, including what Donald Trump’s return to power could mean for everyday people. He shares insights on the economic changes coming in the next 12 months that could directly affect the money in our pockets, and why young people need to rethink how they approach success in today’s economy. Through his own experiences in banking and his personal battles with mental health, Gary offers a raw and honest look at the cost of understanding the truth. 🚨 Partners Payhawk 👉 See our sponsor, Payhawk in action here: https://hppod.co/Payhawk XTB 👉 Download the XTB app today and start making your money work for you at: https://hppod.co/xtbhp FORA 👉 Claim a free day pass at any Fora workspace and find the perfect home for your business here: https://hppod.co/FORAHP HP Foundation 👉Do you want to kick-start an evolution that will change the lives of millions of children?
