Today and next week, you’re in for something special.
If I told you that net household wealth around the globe would double by 2026, would you believe me?
To clarify, by net household wealth, that’s the value of everything owned by humanity. It’s the sum of all we’ve created (and kept) up until this point in history.
Were it to double by 2026, that would mean an increase of roughly £200 trillion in mankind’s stock of wealth… in seven years.
Akhil Patel, who will be your guest editor for next week, not only ardently believes this, but can make a strong argument to back it up. And he’ll be showing you, in a five-part series, exactly why he thinks there’s a golden geyser of wealth creation coming to the boil, and how “our economic world is flat”.
To provide a primer for his work before he takes up the pen, I’d like to show you a conversation I had with him recently for the Southbank Investor’s Exhibition, which our publisher has graciously allowed me to share with you for free – I hope you enjoy it:
I’ll be back at the helm of Capital & Conflict a week on Monday.
Until then,
Boaz Shoshan
