Inflation and wealth are pulling in opposite directions and right now, inflation is winning.

Paul Musson has spent his career educating investors on what monetary policy is actually doing to their financial lives. What he's found isn't encouraging, but it is clarifying. The assumptions behind your financial plan — that government spending stabilizes economies, that consumption drives prosperity, that the system is working toward your benefit — are built on myths that have real costs.

We get into how distorted capital markets quietly erode your purchasing power, why excessive government debt isn't just a political talking point but a structural threat to your financial future, and what a stable, unhampered economy would actually look like for investors. Paul also shares where he puts his own money in a flawed system.

If inflation and wealth feel like they're moving in opposite directions in your portfolio, this conversation is the map.
