What if inflation isn’t an accident - but a feature of the system?

In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we dive beneath the headlines with Paul Musson, author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense.

Musson argues that the modern monetary system quietly redistributes wealth - often from savers and wage earners to asset owners.

We unpack why many investors confuse money with real capital, and why that matters.

The conversation explores declining trust in systems, the role of central banks, and whether gold or cryptocurrencies are rational responses.

Finally, we examine what a future might look like in a world of rising debt, deficits and monetary expansion.
