My guest today is Sam Polk, a former wall street banker who walked away after making millions. Today, Polk runs a non-profit to help the poor understand nutrition. However, his op-ed is definitely controversial.

The topic is his op-ed For The Love of Money. 

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • The intensity surrounding the reaction to Polk’s op-ed piece
  • Reactions from friends and colleagues about the article
  • Envy and jealousy in the Wall Street world
  • Polk’s background and life growing up
  • Filtering cultural messages
  • The line between individual responsibility and being part of a system
  • Crony capitalism
  • Power dynamics
  • The mythology of risk-taking in America
  • The solution for the investment banks out there
  • Polk’s non-profit which he runs today
