48:21Now PlayingFormer City trader turned inequality campaigner Gary Stevenson has become one of the internet's most influential voices on wealth, wages and the widening gap between rich and poor. A bestselling author and self-described "Inequality Economist," Stevenson has built a huge online following by arguing that Britain's economic system is fundamentally broken.
As his profile has grown, so too has the criticism. Detractors accuse Stevenson of exaggerating his success as a trader, dressing left-wing politics up as economics and profiting from a message of economic decline despite his own personal fortune.
Now, with the release of his new Channel 4 documentary How To Get Filthy Rich, Stevenson is pushing one of his most controversial ideas yet: a tax on extreme wealth.
The debate comes as inequality dominates political and economic discussion on both sides of the Atlantic. With stock markets reaching record highs, tech billionaires accumulating unprecedented fortunes and house prices remaining out of reach for many young people, questions about who really benefits from economic growth are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
President Donald Trump's reported $1.4 billion earnings from his digital currency business have reignited arguments over whether booming markets create prosperity for everyone—or simply make the wealthy even richer.
As politicians prepare for the next election and wealth taxes return to the political agenda, the central question remains the same: does wealth eventually trickle down to everyone else - or should governments redistribute more of it through taxation?
Piers Morgan is joined by former financial trader and ‘inequality economist’, Gary Stevenson, PBD podcast contributor also known as The BizDoc, Tom Ellsworth, and editorial director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kristian Niemietz, to debate.
