At age 12, Gary Stevenson sold candy. At 16, he was kicked out of high school for selling cannabis. By 23, Citigroup rewarded him for lending money. Now an activist warning about economic collapse due to inequality.
Stevenson's book, 'The Trading Game: A Confession,' serves as a warning and confession, forming part of his political mission to highlight the worsening economic situation often unnoticed by mainstream economists.
Reflecting on a colleague's suicide at Citigroup, Stevenson highlights the dehumanization and obsession with material gains prevalent in the banking world, using it as a metaphor for the harsh realities of that environment.
Stevenson's insight on what traits a trader in the City should possess reveals the varied responses individuals adopt to survive challenging circumstances, drawing a parallel to the diverse coping mechanisms described in the book 'Catch-22.'
