Paul Musson was a professional investor for 25 years managing over $10 billion in assets. Most of his time was spent with Mackenzie Investments in Toronto. Today, he runs his own investment consulting firm called Paddington Capital Management and he has a free weekly blog called Paulitical Economy which discusses things that are going on in the world but in very easy to understand terms: pauliticaleconomy.com.

His book, Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense was published in 2025 and is also available on Audible. The goal in writing the book was to educate people with respect to how an economy really works and thus empower people to demand positive change from our policymakers.

His hobbies/pastimes include birding, cycling and soccer. He is also a steam train enthusiast.

Paul is married and has three daughters. He has lived in the Toronto area since 1990.

After 30 years as a professional investor managing $10 billion in assets, I became frustrated watching policymakers repeatedly prop up asset prices at the expense of long-term economic health and fairness. So, I wrote Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense (also available on Audible), and run a free weekly blog called Paulitical Economy to help explain—in plain, jargon-free English—how money actually works, why wealth inequality is exploding, and why younger people are being priced out of housing. This is not a technical, academic deep-dive aimed at PhD economists or Wall Street quants. It's deliberately written for everyday people who've never studied economics but want to understand the system that shapes their lives. My goal is to democratise these ideas: no graphs, no Greek letters, just clear stories and examples that leave listeners empowered instead of angry or confused.
