From trading desk millionaire to inequality crusader, Gary’s Economics goes global\"Daniel<\/p>\n

London School of Economics student turned multi-millionaire former Citi trader turned economics crusader, Gary Stevenson is one interesting guy.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber and the author of ‘The Trading Game’ grew up in a poor neighbourhood in East London and warns that the global elite \u2014 the top 0.1 per cent \u2014 are currently winning every fight on tax and the direction of policy and the economy.<\/p>\n

\n

“They are accumulating wealth at an unbelievably rapid pace and it’s squeezing everybody else out.<\/p>\n

“It’s pushing up the prices of things like, most obviously, housing, but not just housing, you look at stocks, stock markets all over the world, you look at the gold price, you look at land prices.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stevenson is worried the process is already so well advanced that reversing it is an urgent mission.<\/p>\n

\n

“If you do not take care of protecting your middle-class wealth, you will lose it, and then you will look like Brazil, you will look like India.<\/p>\n

“You will look like a country where a tiny elite lives an incredibly luxurious life, and all the new working-class people struggle to pay the bills. And it’s happening here in the UK.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A great read from my colleagues David Taylor <\/b>and business editor Michael Janda<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Hello, I’m Daniel Ziffer from the ABC business team and I’ll be taking you through the morning on our business, finance and economics blog.<\/p>\n

Overnight, Wall Street indices were leaping, the S&P 500 resting at a new high.<\/p>\n

The blue-chip Dow Jones\u00a0of 30 mega-companies like Boeing and Visa was +0.7% to 45,621 points.<\/b><\/p>\n

The broader S&P 500 that covers 500 of the largest listed companies in the US +0.8% to 6,502 points, <\/b>a new record close.<\/p>\n

The tech-heavy Nasdaq was +1% to 21,707 points.<\/b><\/p>\n

I keep tapping the screen to check the number, but our market is set to roar, with the ASX 200 futures index tipping a lift of +1.1% to 8,874 points.<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots to get to, all of it news, analysis and information and none of it financial advice.<\/p>\n
