Why is the economy collapsing? Nick Hanauer and Daniel Priestley debate the wealth divide, why wages should be double what they are, what AI is doing to your job, and whether capitalism can still fix itself!
Nick Hanauer is a venture capitalist and serial entrepreneur, the first non-family investor in Amazon, and host of the Pitchfork Economics podcast. Daniel Priestley is an award-winning entrepreneur, business coach and best-selling author of 7 books, including ‘Lifestyle Business Playbook’.
They explain:
◼ Why taxing the rich feels like the answer but misses the real problem
◼ Why AI is hitting every job at the same time, and what that means for your career
◼ Why you can't fix the economy without owning a home, a business or shares
