In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Paul Musson, author of Capital Offense: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense.
Paul is a veteran investment expert and the founder of Paddington Capital Management. With over 30 years in the financial industry—most notably as the lead portfolio manager for the Ivy Funds at Mackenzie Investments—he brings a deep, insider understanding of how our economic system truly works. Through his blog, Paulitical Economy, Paul breaks down complex economic issues into clear, actionable insights for everyday people.
In this episode, you’ll learn why inflation is a hidden form of wealth transfer, how central bank policies distort real value, and what every citizen needs to understand about the money system before it's too late. Paul also shares why he believes education—not conspiracy—is the key to systemic change.
Now get ready to learn and enjoy this incredible conversation with Paul Musson.
