The world’s most profitable economists are making millions predicting economic collapse for banks—but they’re shut out of the rooms where policy gets made. Gary Stevenson, a former trader at Citibank, says this disconnect is why governments keep getting blindsided by crises they should see coming.
Speaking on his "Gary’s Economics" YouTube channel, the former derivatives trader–turned–activist economist revealed the stark divide between Wall Street’s elite forecasters and the “third division economists” advising governments. His message is blunt: the people who actually understand the economy are betting against it instead of fixing it.
