Episode 55: Economic Myths with Jeff Yass - Co-Founder and Managing Director of Susquehanna

This week on Generating Alpha, I sat down with Jeff Yass — co-founder and managing director of Susquehanna, one of the largest trading and quantitative finance firms in the world — and the first repeat guest in the history of the show. This one is different. The first time around, we walked through prediction markets. This time we skipped that entirely and went straight at the ideas — the economic myths Jeff thinks the majority of people get backwards. We covered a lot of ground: why comparing the national debt to GDP is the wrong way to think about whether America owes too much, why consumer surplus means the people we vilify as billionaires may be the ones giving society the most value, what's actually broken about the progressive tax system, and why he believes school choice and vouchers are one of the most underrated ideas in the country. It's a fast, contrarian tour through the things Jeff believes most people get wrong about taxes, markets, and value creation — and a rare chance to hear one of the sharpest probabilistic thinkers alive lay out his first principles.
