Gary Stevenson – Inequality Economist

Stevenson is a former financial trader turned inequality economist after banking millions and realising just how rigged the system is against the poor. Coming from poverty himself, he went on to become Citibank's youngest ever trader. He rose to success after betting that "inequality was going to destroy our economy and make the poorest in society even poorer". Since then, he has turned his attention to advocating against the system that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. He raises awareness through his YouTube channel and podcast 'Gary's Economics', which have each amassed 1.5 million subscribers. In 2024, he released his first book, 'The Trading Game', which is now a number 1 Sunday Times best seller and is up for various awards. Gary also campaigns for Millionaires for Humanity and is a founding member of Patriotic Millionaires UK.

Desmond Tutu

On December 26th, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and anti-apartheid activist Desmond Tutu passed away. Known for his cheerful and positive manner, the clergyman was Archbishop of Cape Town for ten years and also chairman of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In addition to his lifelong commitment against racism and South African apartheid, he campaigned for global climate protection, peace, education and the rights of ethnic and sexual minorities.

Malcolm X

This year marks the 57th anniversary of the assassination of one of the icons of the civil rights movement. Last year, two men wrongly accused of his murder were exonerated, so we still don't know who killed him and why. Malcolm is sometimes seen as MLK's counterpart for his belief that black Americans should protect themselves from aggression by any means, which contrasted with King's non-violent discourse. In reality, Malcolm did not advocate violence, but encouraged active action for freedom, equality and justice.
