Description
Ben and Grant examine the recent reddit/WallStreetBets assault on Wall Street and pick apart the narrative surrounding a story that’s kept the financial world (and far beyond) in its thrall for weeks on end. Is this the revolution it’s purported to be? Is Main Street finally ‘sticking it to the suits’, or is there a different truth behind thousands of headlines describing a stock market that’s turned into a casino? Ben explains the different players at the poker table, the distinctly misaligned interests of each and why the appearance of a new ‘bully’, while interesting fodder for social media, disguises the fact that the real beneficiaries of  this so-called revolution are quietly rubbing their hands in glee ... safe in the comfortable confines of their Wall Street offices.
