We are joined by George Pearkes, macro strategist at Bespoke Invest and all around financial funnyman, to peek under the hood of the world's largest owner of assets: BlackRock. What do you do when you own nearly everything? As we will see in the episode, you try to own more things until you can really do away with that "nearly." Also, we talk about Uber's decision to drop its self driving car division and the thrilling conclusion (?) to Laguna Beach's billionaire battlefront, as bond king Bill Gross's war with his neighbour enters its denouement.
Also, special thanks to Neoliberal Dad on twitter for cooking up some of the core ideas explored herein.
