You have probably had the thought but never said it out loud.

Something about the way we all chase the number does not quite add up.

Then you decide you must be the one who is missing something. In this conversation Shabbar and Tim look at why it feels so risky to say what you actually think about money, growth and the economy. They use the story of the emperor's new clothes and a real letter written to the Queen after the 2008 crash to show how easily we hand our power to people who are good with numbers, and how quickly we decide our own lived experience does not count.

Tim then shares a four part framework on how power works, ending with the version most of us live inside, the one where nobody has to silence us because we do it to ourselves. This is a two part conversation about money psychology, shame and the slow work of getting your voice back.

Key themes:

  • Why questioning the growth story makes intelligent people feel stupid
  • What happens when economics becomes maths and forgets psychology, philosophy and history
  • Why we put people in suits on a pedestal but never the mechanic fixing our car
  • The difference between not rocking the boat and not believing there is a boat
  • How much energy goes into keeping yourself a compliant individual
