About this episode
Gary Stevenson was the youngest trader in the whole city, and became the most profitable one too at his bank after betting against the economy.

Gary Stevenson joins Sam Knight to explore the underbelly of Canary Wharf, revealing a world fuelled by an insatiable zeal for money, and illuminating that there just might be a way out.
