Pulling Back the Curtain on an Economy Built for the Few
Award-winning investor authors new book, "Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense"
"Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense"
By Paul Musson | Published by Unicorn Publishing House, 2025
Paul Musson, founder of Paddington Capital Management and former lead portfolio manager of the Ivy Funds at Mackenzie Investments, pulls back the curtain on the financial systems that quietly — but powerfully — shape our lives. In his upcoming book, "Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense," Paul explains in plainspoken, relatable terms how central banks, government policy, and entrenched economic structures inadvertently yet systematically extract wealth from ordinary people — while enriching a small, powerful elite.
Backed by 30+ years of experience managing billions in assets, Paul presents what he calls a Paulitical Economy™ perspective — one rooted in facts, clarity, and a belief that people, when informed, can make smarter decisions and demand real change.
“Policymakers didn’t intentionally break our system, and much that is good still remains. However, until people understand why it’s not working they won’t be in a position to demand the right decisions from our leaders."
— Paul Musson
