Morris Pearl exudes expertise, awareness and wisdom. Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires and previously an MD at BlackRock (one of the largest investment firms in the world), today he shares with me, to share with you, our listeners, the amazing facts that have led to record levels of global inequality, the root cause to social unrest.
Within this episode, Morris and I discussed the origins of the Patriotic Millionaires and their newest book Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes, and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer, whilst he also provides a rare insider’s view of how the rich and powerful have rigged an economy and political system in their favour whilst everyone else are left to foot the bill. History has shown us time and time again what happens when money and power is concentrated within the hands of too few for too long. And by allowing millionaires, billionaires, and corporations to control the economy and rig it in their favour, we know doesn't turn out well for anyone, including the rich.
This is an amazing conversation you’re not going to want to miss!! So without further ado, please sit back, relax and we do hope you enjoy. For more information on items referenced during today’s podcast, please feel free to check out the links in the description below.
