I'm quite interested in understanding.

So I studied economics.

I went to London School of Economics.

We're about similar age.

So I went there 2005 to 2008.

Then more recently, I went to Oxford and did a master's.

I'm interested in how you ended up studying economics and also studying inequality.

Because from my experience of economics, actually, at universities, there's not a lot of discussion of inequality.

Would you be able to tell us a little bit about where you're from, what was life like growing up and how you ended up studying economics?

Okay.

How old were you when you were living in San Francisco?

I'm really interested in this move you've made from academia into basically actively trying to fight inequality.

because it's not an easy move to make.

I want to talk a little bit about that, but before I get onto that, I just want to know a little bit about what it was like for you within academia

working on and trying to work on inequality.

So I did a master's at Oxford 2017 to 2019.

And I went there with basically the intention of working on inequality.

They had one guy there who worked on inequality.

I think it was Tony Atkinson.

He died before I went there.
