What happens when you realise winning means betting on others losing? Gary Stevenson knows first-hand.

Ever since he was a kid, kicking footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Then, he won a competition run by a bank: ‘The Trading Game.’ The prize: a golden ticket to a new life – which Gary took with both hands to become the youngest and most successful trader in the city.

In a journey equal parts extraordinary and unsettling, Gary will take us deep inside the high-stakes world of trillion-dollar trades, where profit and moral compromise collide. What happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer – and, as the economy begins to crumble, how do you stop your own sanity slipping with it?

Fortunately, Gary did manage to walk away. Now a leading voice on economic inequality, he has traded the trading floor for real-world change. Through his popular YouTube channel, media appearances and #1 Sunday Times bestselling book, The Trading Game, he’s dedicated to teaching the truth about how money really works–and how it can work for everyone.

With the opportunity to ask your own questions, don’t miss your chance to hear this outrageous and unvarnished journey to the dark heart of an intoxicating world from someone who survived the game.
