About this episode
Growing up poor, Gary Stevenson always dreamed of being rich.
At 21, he won a job at one of the world's biggest banks and was soon earning more money than he could have ever imagined.
But instead of feeling satisfied, Gary was furious.
He's become one of the world's loudest voices campaigning for higher taxes on billionaires, reaching millions of followers through his socials @garyseconomics.
And now he's shifted his focus to Australia.
In this chat with Dave, Gary opens up about his life, why he believes inequality will only get worse, and how he thinks young Australians can help turn it all around.
Guests:
- Gary Stevenson, author, economist and former Citibank trader
