Why does working hard and saving money no longer guarantee financial security? In this episode, we dive deep into Rob Dix's groundbreaking book "The Price of Money: How to Prosper in a Financial World That's Rigged Against You."

Sunday Times columnist and property investment expert Rob Dix has written what might be the most important financial literacy guide for 2025, and we break down exactly why. We explore how 97% of money is created by commercial banks through loans, why quantitative easing since 2008 has inflated asset prices by 60-180% while wages stagnated, and how understanding these mechanics is now essential for economic survival.

This isn't conspiracy theory, it's economic reality explained with clarity and practical wisdom. We discuss the death of the gold standard in 1971, how inflation systematically erodes purchasing power (your £100,000 becomes worth £55,000 in just 30 years), and most importantly, what actionable steps you can take to position yourself on the right side of monetary policy.

Whether you're a frustrated saver, first-time investor, or simply confused by economic headlines, this episode translates complex monetary policy into insights you can actually use. Discover why owning assets versus holding cash is no longer an investment choice but a survival strategy, how productive debt differs from destructive debt, and why financial education has become the most valuable skill you never learned in school.

Join us as we unpack the financial system's hidden mechanics and explore how ordinary people can prosper despite, or perhaps because of, understanding how rigged the game truly is.
