Millionaire Trader Finds No Fulfillment in Inequality-Fueled Success
-
Gary Stevenson went from working-class roots to becoming a millionaire Citibank trader in his early 20s, but grew disillusioned with the financial world
-
His winning trades effectively bet that inequality would worsen as the rich got richer and poor struggled more
-
He admits his success went to his head and he retains some arrogance, but calls some posh colleagues "boring" and disconnected
-
Stevenson seems to have had a emotionally cold upbringing and was left craving support; he was later diagnosed with depression
-
Now an economics commentator, he remains pessimistic that deepening inequality leads to economic disaster as the poor are cast off
