Money & geo-politics. The real power? Peter Smith, the road to the City, investment banking, IPOs and Stock Market evaluations.

In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton King sits down with Liverpudlian, Peter Smith, one time wizz kid of the City of London investment banking world regarding his journey into realm of riches in the big smoke (London) and beyond. It’s a story that becomes all the more fascinating as we learn that after becoming the youngest ever broker in the UK at barely 18 years of age, Peter is responsible for his own good fortune.

After getting to know Peter, he and Carlton discuss where the real power lies in the world today. They explore the almost mythical role played by the City, Wall Street and the big banks and their equivalents in all societies and countries. The growth of fintech, the tech giants and the seemingly unending easy money that funds and drives many a questionable, as well as clearly ‘positive’, tech startups is also put under the microscope.

Finally, the future of the markets are also discussed, where does Crypto et’al fit in? They also examine the obvious importance of ‘the market’ and banking to the secret world, terrorism, extremism and geopolitics and politicians including the petty or indeed major corruption of the political classes.

As always, this episode of the Black Spy Podcast can only educate listeners as it delves into another aspect of life that is relatively unknown to those who do not inhabit its environs yet suffer real and sometime enormous consequences of the decision made within this realm.

This episode was released on Monday the 24th of January 2022.
