We talk frequently on this channel of the dangerous and worsening wealth gap between the rich and the rest of society.

If as a regular individual investor you feel the playing field of today's financial system is unfairly tilted away from your interests and towards those of the already-wealthy, today's expert would say you're absolutely right.

To delve into this topic more deeply, we sit down with Pulitizer-prize winning & NYTimes best-selling investigative journalist Gretchen Morgenson. Gretchen is renown for her groundbreaking reporting on the financial markets, with a particular focus on the way in which they are too often abused by Wall Street power players.

Today, we'll discuss the key takeaways from her new book "These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs―and Wrecks―America" which was recently published and is already a Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Gretchen, along with her co-author Joshua Rosner, expose the world of private equity as "insidious", claiming that a small cohort of elite financiers -- and their government enablers -- use excessive debt and dubious practices to undermine our nation’s economy for their own enrichment.

To learn how, we hear from Gretchen herself.

At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.

We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.

There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?

Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
