## Resource

Is ESG quietly draining your pension and pushing up your bills? In this episode of A Nation of Taxpayers, Duncan Barkes is joined by Jonathan Eida of the TaxPayers' Alliance and James Graham of the Prosperity Institute to expose how Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) rules have shifted finance away from returns and towards political agendas. From weaker investment in Britain's defence and energy sectors to lower returns for savers, James Graham goes through the findings in his paper 'The Death of the Fiduciary Duty' and explains why ESG could be one of the biggest financial scandals of the last two decades and what must be done to stop it.
