Blackrock and Blackstone are finance companies that control trillions of dollars worth of assets between them. There is a good chance that some of your money is controlled by one of these companies without you even knowing about it.

Blackrock was one of the largest investors in the ill fated FTX and Blackstone has been blamed for single handily causing the housing affordability crisis.

But how do these companies actually work and are they really the most evil businesses in the world?

Well no… sorry to ruin the fun, but if you remove the ominous sounding background music and carefully selected headlines, these are just regular investment firms like any other, not bad, not terrible.

But I think the best way for you to realise this is to get a clear breakdown of how these companies operate.

So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how these companies make their money, and who they answer to, so that you can make up your own mind.
