Everything They Tell You About the Economy is WRONG | Aaron Meets Gary Stevenson

Fourteen years ago Gary Stevenson was one of Citibank’s best performing traders. The bet that brought him success was one few foresaw: that despite record low interest rates, Britain’s economy would stay in the doldrums. He wrote about that, and his time at Citi, in his bestselling memoir ‘The Trading Game’. In this, his third Downstream with Aaron, Gary talks about the rise of Reform, why the political establishment could be facing extinction; why Elon Musk’s wealth is a threat to democracy; and how the plan is to make you poorer - forever. 00:00 Intro 03:06 Experience of Fame 10:30 House Prices & Inflation 21:18 Young People & The Far Right 25:46 Why Young Men Love The Gym 30:14 Is The UK Headed Towards Financial Crisis 44:43 The Failures of The Left 55:14 Immigration, Labour & Reform 01:05:34 What Taxation Actually Does 01:09:50 How Did We End Up In So Much Debt 01:21:25 The Problem With Economists Novara Live broadcasts every weekday from 6PM on YouTube and Twitch.
