Episode Notes
For the first time in modern history, the next generation is projected to be worse off than their parents. Why? According to 30-year Bay Street veteran Paul Musson, it’s by design.
Paul, a former lead portfolio manager who oversaw more than $10 billion, has stepped away from the financial world to issue a critical warning. In his book, “Capital Offence,” he argues that decades of misguided central banking policies and debt-fueled spending have created a system that systematically transfers wealth from the young and the poor to an asset-owning class.
In this eye-opening conversation, we discuss the core themes of his work, providing a masterclass in financial literacy for anyone who feels the system is rigged. We explore the difference between money and capital, why the housing crisis is a feature (not a bug) of this system, and what a “controlled implosion” of the economy might look like.
This isn’t a message of despair, but a call to action. Learn how the system really works so you can protect your family and demand change.
