Gary Stevenson once dealt in nearly a trillion dollars a day. He joins Sam Knight to reveal his ‘unforgettable story of greed, financial madness and moral decay’ (Rory Stewart).
Gary Stevenson
Gary Stevenson left his trading career behind, convinced that solving inequality was the only way to repair the world economy. He has since studied for an MPhil at Oxford, worked with economic think-tanks and founded a YouTube channel, GarysEconomics, teaching people about real-world economics. He regularly appears on television and radio and has written for the Guardian and OpenDemocracy, among others.
