Is the financial system actually working against you?


In this episode of the Arete Podcast, Jake sits down with Paul Musson, author of Capital Offence, to break down how modern monetary policy may be stacking the deck in ways most people don’t even realize.


Paul shares his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a portfolio manager overseeing billions in assets, and how that experience led him to question the very system he once believed in. What starts as a conversation about investing quickly turns into a deep dive into how central banks, interest rates, and government policy have fundamentally altered the way capital flows through the economy.


From the rise of so-called “zombie companies” to the housing affordability crisis and widening wealth inequality, this discussion connects the dots between policies most people never think about and the real-world consequences they feel every day. The conversation challenges the idea that rising markets always mean a healthy economy and explores how distortions in the system can benefit some while quietly disadvantaging others.


At its core, this episode is about understanding the rules of the game we’re all playing—and what happens when those rules are changed.


If you’ve ever wondered why it feels harder to get ahead despite working harder than ever, this conversation will change how you see money, markets, and the future.
