The Economy Is Rigged for Billionaires — ft. Gary Stevenson

from The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · host Vox Media Podcast Network

Gary Stevenson, former trader turned economist and inequality activist, joins Scott to discuss why wealth inequality is accelerating across the West. They unpack the rise of the billionaire class, why the middle class is shrinking, and whether wealth taxes, estate taxes, and stricter tax enforcement could reverse the trend. Gary argues that modern economies increasingly reward ownership over work — and warns that younger generations are on track to become poorer than their parents.
