In today’s premium briefing, we dive into why the "rich getting richer" narrative fails when viewed on a post-tax basis and why entrepreneurs are reaching a breaking point with global tax hikes. Alec also explores the long-term reality of the AI revolution and a significant shift in South African monetary policy that could see the end of the traditional prime overdraft rate by 2027.
