In today's thought-provoking episode, Tom sits down with acclaimed entrepreneur and author Daniel Priestley for a wide-ranging conversation about the major economic disruptions shaping our world today. Together, they dive deep into the origins of the current "K-shaped" economy, exploring the echoes of the Industrial Revolution, the dangers of wealth inequality, and the psychological underpinnings of fairness and resentment.

You'll hear why socialism is regaining traction in political discourse, the real lessons from the Nordic model, and why technology—from spinning looms to AI—is a double-edged sword reshaping opportunity, wealth, and human happiness. They unpack why redistributing wealth isn't as straightforward as it seems, the unique challenges posed by global tech monopolies, and how societal values, competence, and education will determine who thrives in an age of digital disruption.

Packed with history, sharp analogies, and actionable insights for navigating systemic change, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the forces behind today's economic upheavals—and what might come next.
