Financial Fiascos

Published on: 15th February, 2021

Alexander joins the show to chat about the hypocrisy and overall madness that has characterized the financial realm in the past year. Some convergent trends in wealth and data come to the forefront, driving the conversation in various directions including:

- why the stock market and the economy are so uncoupled

- the problem with hedge funds

- the chaos with GME and Robinhood

- how to address wealth inequality

- reevaluating social security

- assessing the need for a ceiling

- bad incentive structures in education

- the need for a democratization of data

- the imbalance of assessing success vs failure

- why valedictorians are almost never billionaires


any many others!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
