SCP Fellow Rachel Wasserman joins the The Millennial Moron Podcast to explain how private equity works, why returns in private markets are not as good as they seem and how you can push your pension fund to invest in the productive economy.

In this episode of the Moolala: Money Made Simple podcast, Jon Shell joins Bruce Sellery to explain how employee ownership trusts (EOTs) work and why they could reshape business ownership in Canada. They discuss what employee ownership means and how it works, the purpose of the new Employee Ownership Research Initiative, current research gaps around employee-owned businesses and how employee ownership has evolved in Canada in recent years. The conversation explores how employee ownership could support business succession, strengthen workplaces and create new pathways for shared prosperity.

Breaking Points podcast correspondent James Li sits down with corporate lawyer, economic analyst and SCP Fellow Rachel Wasserman to discuss Trump's executive order opening up 401k plans to private equity. Trends show that with rising interest rates and frozen exit markets, the private equity investment model could be under serious stress. So, what are the implications of making this type of investment available to retail investors and their retirement plans? Rachel walks James through how private equity works, what's so dangerous about the buyout-PE model and who might get left holding the bag. 

New research by economist and SCP Fellow Gillian Petit estimates what Canada’s GDP per capita would have been over the past decade if Canada had kept our temporary resident numbers stable. On CBC political podcast West of Centre, host Rob Brown asks Petit to dissect the metric politicians love to wield. GDP measures total output, while GDP per capita divides that sum by the population. She explains that the simple math offers an easy snapshot, but can mislead when used alone. For a true read on prosperity, Petit argues Canada needs a broader economic dashboard that weighs productivity, fairness and long term well being.
