Hearted Youtube comments on Garys Economics (@garyseconomics) channel.

  1. "The guy who makes $ 700/h convinced the guy who makes $ 24/h that his problem is the guy who makes $ 7.90/h."

  2. John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

  3. "when the poor have nothing left to eat, they'll eat the rich". Not advice, just a recipe suggestion.

  4. I will say this again. Gary needs a comms team to turn this info into trendy and digestible content and flood the market. In the game of narratives it is the loudest that wins.

  5. “How do you get rich? You get rich by working together” now that’s a great quote and tells a story about individualism and how it’s made us forget the strength of community like a form of depoliticisation.

  6. Tax work less, tax wealth more. That is the takeaway.

  7. You can tell Gary is rich because he puts his biscuits on a plate

  8. To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

  9. "If you hate each other, they win - If you work together, we win" - keep that as a mantra

  10. I am 70yrs of age, I want YOU - Gary to know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do. If only people would listen? If only governments were honest and had the balls to listen to YOU and others. Thank You Gary, take care soak up support and hold on to friends... Hold on tight to your dreams... I have been fighting the fight against inequality all my working life - it does have a profound impact upon a person... but we must simply remember we must do the Right Thing.

  11. I bought my house 9 years ago, it has nearly doubled in value. I could not afford to buy my own house now, that means I am poorer than I was 9 years ago.

  12. This guy is like your mate that you only know from raves who also happens to give economic advice.

  13. Hi Gary, PhD in Economics + Lecturer at a top UK university (which shall remain nameless). I cannot begin to express how sad and frustrating it is for me (and most of my peers) to not be able to talk about this. Although a lot of research has been done on both, inequality and environmental costs... both continue to be excluded from ALL main economic data. The fact that we keep using GDP in its current format as out main economic indicator is beyond insane... but fact of the matter is universities in the US and the UK have become corporations, and research has become, for many, a launching pad into the private sector. The academic establishment has ZERO ties with real life workers unions or climate experts for example... zero coordination, and zero sense of social responsibility. I feel ashamed for our profession at this point... EDIT (I did not expect so many people to engage with my comment... thank you): Just to clarify, In hindsight, my choice of words when I said we are not allowed to talk about these things was poor. There is no conspiracy to silence anyone!!! What I meant is that, just like in every area of academia, there are very clear and structured paths to climbing up the employment ladder and it is to say the least skewed in favour of somewhat derivative research with solid methodology that awards as many points as possible. This inevitably penalises anyone who wants to (for example as many of you have suggested in the comments) pursue collaborative research with environmentalists, sociologists, NGOs etc. Top economic journals will never publish your work meaning you will be at a serious disadvantage when competing for jobs/grants. Also, I want to make it very clear I am in no way suggesting that more mainstream economic research is bad or false!!!!

  14. Hi Gary, Im the Deputy Leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland and we have supported the introduction of a wealth tax for over ten years. Your channel gave me personally the ability to articulate this in a clear and understandable way. There is a lot of work to he done to undermine the years of indoctrinated belief in the current system but this is a brilliant start.
    2500
  15. I think one problem is that the rich are good at making themselves and their obscene wealth invisible, whereas immigrants are highly visible. How to make the rich visible?
    2300
  16. „Vibes are off“ = entire governments gaslighting us collectively. I love the fact how media outlets increasingly release formats around personal finances. You CANNOT budget your way out of poverty ffs.
    2300
  17. Just to draw out a point Gary was starting with; the rich aren’t competing with you for your pub, or laundrette, they want the land to rent back to your pub before developing it into a spa or a gated community. Neither of which bring you anything you can afford or use.
    2200
  18. Hi Gary. I’m 17. Doing A-levels in History, Maths and Economics at a grammar school. I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now. My economics teacher showed some of your content to the class at the start of the year and relayed your messages. He told us that we’d all struggle to buy houses in the future. I’ve had some conversations with fellow students about economics and politics. The overwhelming majority don’t know or care about wealth inequality. Immigration is the main talking point - everyone seems to ‘know’ a lot about that. I picked up a copy of your book over Christmas with some book tokens I won and have nearly finished it now. It’s fascinating and really crystallises the points made in your videos. Thank you for the videos and know that your messages are spreading!
    2200
  19. This is an absolutely brilliant breakdown of the situation. Videos like this cut through all spin and BS of the press!
    2100
  20. I’d like to add: Ignore the culture wars, if you’re angry at immigrants, woke and trans people, you’re fighting the wrong battle - it’s ALWAYS been a class war
    2100
  21. I´m from Germany and seeing him talk to the head of a German right-wing party (AFD) was so confusing to me first because I didn't see the reason why. After watching the video, it makes so much sense especially from Musks point of view. I just wonder how so many people blindly follow him and don't question the nonsense they gonna vote for. Scary times also here in Germany
    2000
  22. Hi Gary, as a retired Finance Director, this is how I explain the growth in wealth inequality: In the early 70’s there were just 2-3 Billionaires on earth, and people could name them (Howard Hughes, John Paul Getty). In the past 50 years, the world’s population has doubled from 4Bn to 8Bn, but there are also now around 3,000 Billionaires. On a planet of finite resources, that clearly shows how wealth has been transferred . This example is one of the few that I find really resonates .
    2000
  23. This movement is gaining momentum. Thank you Gary for leading the way. A lot of people usually shy away from inequality conversations for fear of being shamed by so called "experts" when they really are just speaking from their biases and not from hard data

  24. Just been watching sky news for 10 minutes. Came here to recover from that experience

  25. I'm a bookseller and i'm going to be doing everything i can to push this book into the hands of as many people as possible. Really important we get this message out there ✊

  26. Gary nails it—this rentier economy has turned ownership and hard work into relics of the past. Like Yanis Varoufakis points out, this isn’t capitalism in its original sense; it’s a parasitic system designed to extract wealth rather than create it. The middle class is being squeezed, not because they’re lazy, but because the rules of the game have changed. We’re forced to rent everything—homes, jobs, even our futures—while the owner class rakes in profits from systems they didn’t build, exploiting our labor and resources. And then they preach about ‘hard work,’ as if it means anything in a rigged game. This isn’t progress—it’s neo-feudalism, and it’s dismantling the social contract piece by piece.
    1700
  27. A man that could use his time on making millions of dollars chooses to use his time to inform and help people that really are in need. Be proud of your work because the world needs this.
    1700
  28. Gary has the heart of a revolutionary He is, in my opinion one of the most important voices globally at the moment.

  29. My favourite advice story is this: I was trading, and making a bit of money doing it around the GFC. There was lots of stock available, and discounted share sales etc. A friend asked me for advice. I was hesitant, but I said "here's a mining services stock. It's a shitty company and 50/50 chance of going bankrupt, so do the smallest bet possible and assume the money is already gone, but it could go up a lot." Well the friend bought in. Then the price went up 20X. A few years later the friend said "I've got a bone to pick with you, the stock you recommended went bankrupt!" I replied with "so you didn't sell in the several years that it was 20X?" Even when you give Nostradamus-level advice, you are on the hook for the bad and never the good. Don't give advice unless it's "Don't trade. If you are asking for advice, you are going to fuck it up."

  30. People have been saying that Youtube was dying and yet here you are increasing viewers every week. Youtube is not dying, people are just tired of influencers selling lives that nobody can afford, while our economies are collapsing. We needed this channel so much.
    1500
  31. I am an Economics Professor from Germany. I am a big fan. Thank you for educating society.
    1500
  32. American viewer here. I feel like a lot of the stuff you talk about applies over here as well I appreciate your educational videos

  33. "Poverty exists not because we can't meet the needs of the poor but because we can't meet the greed of the rich."

  34. Have you tried joining a game of Monopoly half way through? Even though you play by the same rules than the others, it is near impossible to succeed once they have bought all the assets and you pay rents everywhere. Well, it's the same in real life guys...
    1400
  35. The people need to realise it’s a Top vs. Bottom & not a Left Vs. Right Issue. That’s when things will change.
    1400
  36. Mum! The new Gary's Economics just dropped!
    1300
  37. You killed it on Piers Morgan Gary. These talking heads didn't stand a chance against you
    1300
  38. Because they are a largely wealthy group, they don’t see inequality day-to-day and they don’t care
    1300
  39. I sit with my granddaughter who is 16. Her generation have been purposely absent from engaging with politics, economy and how wheels can turn ever so unfairly. We watch your vids together and we pause them as you raise each issue and we talk about it between us, learning and growing, and then push play again...rinse and repeat. You are education a whole new generation my friend. In my granddaughters eyes you bring real to reality. Bless you mate.
    1200
  40. I bloody love Gary! I’m not sure the last time the panel spoke to a real person or a person without a hidden agenda but they looked scared to speak in front of him as they knew he’d call them out. We need more of Gary on these shows! Great job ❤❤❤
    1200
  41. Mad Garry seen the other side of the fence and jumped back over to try help people. How many of us would have lived on in comfort and ease in his position? Instead he's out here trying to effect positive change. A rare breed.
    1200
  42. Don't worry. A bloke who did PPE at Oxford will soon be replaced as Chancellor by a woman who did PPE at Oxford. Nothing can go wrong.
    1200
  43. "Highly unequal countries don't have cute little towns for ordinary people, they have slums for ordinary people." Well put.
    1100
  44. Lets go brother 💪💪
    1100
  45. I’m really glad you’ve been making the rounds on a bunch of other channels. I feel like you’ve really helped to get inequality into the minds of so many more people. This could just be me in my echo chamber but I genuinely think the narrative is starting to shift for the better.
    1100
  46. Before the election I made a concerted effort to ask my local candidates their position on taxing wealth. What I found most shocking is they had no idea what wealth means and had the same understanding that if you tax them they will leave. Great video Gary
    1100
  47. Could say that you had 2020 vision 🥁
    1100
  48. Taking away council housing, libraries, community centres, school programs, social services... all these things used to be hubs of activity between residents of the community who raised their families side by side. Think about why they have taken all that away. Most of us dont even speak to our neighbours. Its got to change. we are so powerful together.
    1100
  49. Gary, psychologist here. What you're describing in the first section is the very definition of a field that is trapped by within a "paradigm", in the original meaning of the term: an organized system of knowledge, practices, and beliefs that is used to make sense of the world. They have been trained to be very effective at thinking within the boundaries of this paradigm, but in order to do that they've been convinced that the only things that are worth thinking about are things that fall within the paradigm. This hit me personally because I've had arguments about inequality with trained economists who use macroeconomic indicators to argue that poor people are just whining over nothing. And when I point out that what they're basically describing is trickledown economics they look like they've blown a fuse, and rapidly change the subject. Thank you for the video. Please keep them coming.

  50. This is so important, some people think we live in a meritocracy but people can work hard their whole lives and save, be productive, building things that grow the economy etc and still end their lives close to 0. While people born into a rich family just accumulate wealth through their investments. Compound interest is the reason people starting at 0 can't compete with people starting at 1 million. It's not just that they have catching up to do, but that every second the gap is increasing.
    1000
  51. Rich people won't legislate to make themselves poorer
    1000
  52. This is sounding very much like a polite incitement to revolution. As a parent, I very much approve.
    1000
  53. I'm a furniture remover, bottom of the market, sole trader. Within 2 weeks, of the Truss/Kwarteng budget everything just stopped! The Country had already been hammered by the cost of energy, markedly reducing business, then that budget was like the final straw! There is loads of money floating around at the top of the market, but the bottom is just flat! 25% of my business used to be moving renters but that all but dried-up with the pandemic - renting is so expensive that they're renting their own truck and doing their own moves. The market is a mess! I recently moved a young couple into a 1 bedroom flat in Bristol. Both were working but they had to pay a years rent in advance, £13,000! The real kicker was it was the ground floor of an ex-council house! The first floor was another flat and the loft had been converted into another flat! To top all off, the Chairman of Natwest, Sir Howard Davies, thinks that it's not difficult to buy a home!!!!! The people at the top are literally clueless and the very worst people to be in the positions they are in!!!! We are stuffed and I am scared!

  54. If you want to know what’s going on with our economy, you don’t rely on the mainstream media, you go straight to Gary. Thanks Gary!
    995
  55. We have wealth tax in Switzerland. I don't think the rich have left us.
    994
  56. Blown away, sincerity, honesty, humanity. Gary, please take care of yourself, this channel is so important.
    972
  57. if they are trying to dig stuff up on you, you are getting your message noticed. thank you again Gary
    968
  58. Smart move Gary , build a team ! bring on different people to to reach a greater audience. Keep on going son ! (Jim from Hull )
    968
  59. Why are taxes so high... on the poor. And not nearly high enough on the rich. The trouble is, we all know why, we know it in our bones. We don't know the fancy terminology for it, but we know the country is run by and for a vanishingly small minority of people seeking to expand their own money and power at quite literally, the cost of our wellbeing and the planet itself. Trouble is, that the vanishingly small minority have convinced juuuuust enough of the riff-raff, that they might one day, make it, to prevent change. They won't. And none of us will, without solidarity and collective action.
    963
  60. Wow Gaz, this hit me between the eyes. The connection between inequality and corruption is spot on. Keep dropping knowledge mate.
    945
  61. I am 74 years old and have followed you Gary for a while now. I totally agree with you. Politicians these days are only interested in their careers and ruling elites look down on the rest of us. We value you as a decent, honest human being and support you all the way
    926
  62. "the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily frustrated millionaires"
    916
  63. Your best video yet! In my 60s and comfortably retired, I tell everyone I meet to listen to your stuff. I think emphasising the post war reckoning is really where we need to be. So many younger people have only ever experienced the learned helplessness, the imagined impotence of the ordinary working people. We need to reignite the spirit of power that comes with solidarity, collective action, community.

  64. Hey Gary. I'm a college student in America. Earlier this year I had to write a 10 page essay for school on the book 1984. I ended up writing about the economic inequality in America. This was the first time I became passionate about something school related. I learned about everything you're talking about; being from America our inequality is even worse. I became so enthralled over the severity of the situation and the fact that I had never really been aware of how bad it was. I was born in one of Africa's poorest countries, Ethiopia, but was adopted into a wealthy American family. All of this accumulated in my decision to study economics at university. I ended up dropping my economics class because of what you describe; it was all graphs and maths and had nothing to do with the actual economy. I'm now pursuing political science in the hope that I can learn enough about the political and economic systems of the world to change it. I want to fight; hopefully and maybe someday I could help you in this goal.
    903
  65. Watching from Australia. I’m an economist and doing my masters currently, and after watching your videos and doing my own reading after, I realised just how flawed the field really is, with lots of gaps in knowledge that seem common sense. The field of economics seems to be trying to be a science/maths based subject when it simply is not. I presented the information from your videos Gary and my own added info to my professor and he didn’t argue back but simply said it was right, which only confirmed the large wealth inequality issue for me. Keep up the good work, you’re fighting the good fight and the impact you’re having is greater than you realise.
    892
  66. It’s actually beautiful seeing someone who has been a non retail trader tell retail traders and potential gambling addicts the truth about their situation instead of selling them something.
    875
  67. I feel like this is a polite way of saying that the rich and powerful are sociopaths. They don't mean what they say, they lie, they get angry, etc. until you break and give them what they want. They're just bad people.
    855
  68. This is what it looks like to operate with integrity. ❤
    842
  69. As a mum, I feel that Gary can be a really positive counterbalance to people like Andrew Tate. Working class boys can see that the cards are stacked against them and that no one wants to talk about that. Gary gives another narrative. I hope his book goes massive, which will be really positive for society.
    841
  70. Man. You have come out of nowhere and basically made all of the other financial youtubers irrelevant. Extremely well done. Great communication. Perfect blend of not dumbing things down and talking to us like we are idiots, but also demystifying concepts and making them understandable to a normal educated adult.
    833
  71. "what does it mean? What would you do?" Bro, I don't know but I do know this is an amazingly poignant testimony that speaks to the reasons why society is crumbling under the weight of systemic, compound inequity. Rest up Gary, and take care.
    824
  72. As a 66 year old American woman who will work until I die. I have dealt with these powerful cretins in my youth much in the way of being on the receiving end of Trump's real estate "transactions". I used to design and construct stained glass windows for a big Beverly Hills developer's homes, initially believing all the praise heaped on my work. Only to let my guard down, and being denied payment at the end of a job. Gary's 100% right. The rich and powerful will lie as easily as they breathe. The working class and poor must join together, otherwise we and our planet won't be around much longer.
    820
  73. I love your intelligence, your empathy and the way you communicate your ideas. Thank you for giving back to the community and not giving in to billionaires and multimillionaires.
    818
  74. I think ive learned more about government finance in this video than ive picked up in a lifetime of mainstream news.
    793
  75. Immediately sent this to my mum, who is an immigrant working in the UK as a social worker. Everything you touch on here speaks directly to her daily anxieties about the subtle (and otherwise) resentment she experiences for legally immigrating to a country where people are being told that immigrants are the problem, and yet immigrant labour props up the economies of all the major Western powers. A great reminder of the fallacy of the rich is that ELON MUSK IS AN IMMIGRANT. He is not a native born American, no matter how hard he tries to hide this fact. The reality is as long as people hold on to the dangerous belief that they're going to become the 1%, the rich will fleece the poor until there is no real society left.
    790
  76. this young man is such a credit to his generation.
    784
  77. I think a big part of the problem is people have been dumbed down for generations and kept distracted. They’re switched off and don’t think critically for themselves and are easily spoon fed rubbish from people with an agenda. The table is massively tilted
    782
  78. Tax the rich. I saw this reel that was someone asking a random 20 something girl in the street what she thinks needs to be done about the economy and she said tax the rich, even just 2%. Then the video broke down what that 2% could pay for. In the comments, it blew my mind, people were up in arms saying 'why should they be taxed 2%, they've worked for it they deserve it.' And this is what we're really up against, normal people being so enamoured by the lie that they too may one day be mega rich that they take it as a personal attack when in reality they're actually getting materially poorer but supporting this delusion.
    781
  79. we have lost so many smart people to the finance sector, gambling on made up stock prices. Imagine if all the maths whizz's like yourself had entered into the tech and engineering sectors. I reckon we as a country would be much better off now. Love your channel, I have learnt so much. Thank you
    778
  80. Increasing Inequality is definitely the main repeating problem and History teaches us it rarely ever gets solved peacefully
    767
  81. As an iranian doctor living in Germany not for long, I always was busy with medicine and language and other stuff than knowing the basics of economics, since I got in touch with your channel it was so admiringly easy to understand that I got interested to it and now I'm investing more time reading about it. The art of giving information is to deliver it in an understandable manner and I thank you therefore.
    728
  82. I am trader (manage my own capital and work on small FX desk) and am a capitalist at heart. But Gary’s videos have completely convinced me we need to tackle income inequality very seriously. It, among other things, is killing the strands of society. Thanks Gary.
    698
  83. And people still believe privatisation of essential services was a good idea:D These were once publicly owned sectors and just look at what the UK now pays for; gas, electric, water, transport, telecoms, etc and the record breaking profits the rich shareholders take every year.
    667
  84. The super-rich "outbidding" the working class is such an intuitive way of explaining the issue; I'm frustrated I haven't had it explained to me in that way before! The other two ideas you communicated were just as enlightening too, phenomenal video.
    655
  85. Hi Gary. I come from Newham and grew up in dirt poor. Saved by the welfare state, we got a council house when we were flooded out of our private rented flat - long story. My dad had ambitions for me to be a teacher or a nurse; the highest ambition for a girl in the 1970s! I found it really hard to leave friends behind and baulked against it but I buckled down and became a teacher. I found I had a small talent for the work and a big burning desire to give kids opportunity and rich experiences. I was a headteacher in Newham and Redbridge for 25 years, a teacher for 39 years. Thank you for what you’re doing. The days of kids like me being saved by free uni and council housing has gone. We have the fight of our lives ahead as society begins to collapse. The only way forward is radical transformation for the greater good.
    652
  86. Oh Gary this was magnificent. I am 80 now and have known relative poverty for most of my life. But for some reason I never really looked for more. Maths was never my thing, more of an artist, writer, poet, so maybe that's why. You have a brilliant mind, and more than that, a big heart. You care. and that's what is important at times like this, at any time really. The Buddhist concept of "Be Kind" needs to be spread far and wide for, as your Japanese friend said, the rich people have small hearts. Even though you had money, you were not comfortable with it, and that says everything about you. I wish you every success in all you do because you deserve it, though I know that doesn't always follow. Thank you so much for what are doing. I'm crying now as I write this just because your words move me so much. Know that some of us at least, really appreciate you, maybe more than you know.
    639
  87. I've always had the itching thought when people talk about house prices going up = good that is: if you only own one house, why are you happy the price is going up? Unless you own 3, 4, 5+ houses you won't ever see the return on the investment as it's not really an investment, it's the place you live! If you bought it for 80k and it's worth 400k now who cares, you still only own one property and you'll always need somewhere to live!
    635
  88. I've always been of the belief that 'people who can', choosing to guide 'those who can't', are a shining light in our society. I'm one of 'those that can't', i'm not good at maths, my jobs have always been low paid and i struggle, so to look up to leaders that actually care, is a rare and wonderful thing. Thank you Gary.
    633
  89. Have you ever been to Treasury, Gary? I’ve been watching you a lot and heard what you’ve said about the out of touch privately educated rich kids in the banks, who have no idea how our economy is actually doing. I’m an economist in the civil service and my experience of Treasury is exactly the same. You don’t find it so much in other departments but Treasury is rammed full of these privately educated rich kids with no clue. Paradoxically, I think it’s because pay in Treasury is so low. The best don’t go there because they can’t afford to, yet it’s such a prestigious job. So it attracts a certain type of power hungry person with enough family money behind them to support them. I walk through the offices and the canteen and everyone is wearing their Saville Row suits and talking about their skiing holidays. It’s night and day with the real world! It makes me wonder how we’re supposed to make change when those working for the most important department in the country, advising the government on our economy and our future, are so out of touch.
    627
  90. I was born into a working class family (although I think the term is designed to mentally limit your aspirations) and I now own my home. I am nearly sixty and I remember from the late 70s onward. Currently because of energy prices we have switched off the hot water and we ration the radiators. I haven't had a holiday for five years anywhere. My van is second hand, we ration food and our standard of living will fall another 12% over the next two years. I agree with everything you say but we need to emphasise that our current conditions are a political choice. The future can be radically different but people need to get behind this. Next weekend the nation will be celebrating the coronation which will cost them in excess of 100 million and is a party for the wealthy elite. Will the people of this country ever stop and truly think of a different more equitable future or will they go on being a willing participant in their own poverty. Political change is needed and that begins with education. Thank you for all you do.
    626
  91. In one sentence: divide and conquer. Rule as old as human history. Common people get together!
    620
  92. Greetings Gary and community. I have a degree in Anthropology. I studied under an economic Anthropologist, and I've been watching this for 20 years, trying to talk about it and it's very nice to finally hear someone else saying the same thing. I hope people listen to you. Keep up the good work dude.

  93. The real power lies with working people, not the rich, which is why every effort is made to sow devision. Joining a union is one way to come together to pursue a common goal. Unity brings strength.
    597
  94. Wow! The BBC gave a platform to an Expert who highlighted how trivial the usual political and economic fare they serve up is. Cheers Gary!
    593
  95. When people say prices have to crash, because the average person cannot afford it, I always reply that the price of Ferraris and yahts should also be coming down soon, because the average person can't afford them. If something is only sold to and between the wealthy, what the average consumer can afford becomes a non-factor.

  96. I came to this video after our first home purchase fell through due to the seller backing out to rent the property instead. After searching for a year and a half I’ve realised there is nothing out there that I can afford and my financial state and career has left me in despair. This video made me feel more depressed but it was the slap in the face with reality that I needed. By you saying that my lack of success is not a measure of my intelligence or my work ethic did Improve my self esteem for which I am thankful for. Keep doing what you are doing man, you are a shining beacon in the dark sea of bullshit, and it’s about time we had someone who can give us guidance like you have.
    583
  97. At this rate you are going to become the most important person of our generation. I hope people are listening.
    577
  98. Just finished reading Gary's book. I wasn't expecting to laugh so much, and the end left me with a lump in my throat. Just brilliant!
    574
  99. That statement hits home, you need to protect your resources. The resources of this country are the people who keep this country going day in and day out. The cost if living for the average person has been stolen and we the resources are at the mercy of the super rich who have found ways to hit us in the pockets. The government need their resources back and that will only happen when they make UK liveable for the people at the expense of the rich. I believe only then will see truth growth in the UK.
    574
  100. “I don’t think politicians are going to save us, I think we have to save us…” you nailed the problem right there Gary, it’s really up to us to get more people engaged. Politicians are populists, they follow the winds of opinion we need work together to change the prevailing wind.
    571
  101. “The rich will take your resources…” The Labour government recently sold Royal Mail to a Czech billionaire. We’ve had Thatcherism since 1979 which serves the interests of the wealthy. The problem with Thatcherism is that you eventually run out of assets like Thames Water to sell to foreign investors so that they can rip off British consumers. 1. Reduce inequality by taxing the asset wealth of the rich. 2. Stop selling British assets and British companies to foreign control.

  102. Imagine telling an nhs working couple with a kid, doing overtime, that has seen their disposable / real terms income erode over the last 10-15 years struggling to live comfortably - that they aren't productive enough?!!
    553
  103. I’m sort of uniquely positioned to comment on this video. I am a US trained human rights lawyer who focuses on workers’ human rights and the fight for equality, but with an MSc in economics from LSE and, importantly, a BA in anthropology. Furthermore, I have been married to a finance professor for nearly 30 years. So, I can confirm most of what Gary says is indeed true. I would just add the following: 1. I think the atomized approach where everyone is in their own utility-maximizing bubble is not just a mathematical necessity a la Samuelson, but a political choice that completely insulates policymaking based on theoretical economics from a solidarity approach which seems to have seeped into all policymaking, regardless of the issue. 2. Related to this, the behavior of these utility-maximizing individuals being modeled is that basically all motivations are assumed, and often shoehorned into the mathematical models. I constantly ask why economists don’t speak with actual people to test their assumptions—>blank stares. 3. economists actually believe that their models, and more importantly, their proofs, actually do prove how individuals behave. Since macro is basically just the aggregate of the micro models, they think their macro models also explain how economies work—it is simply the fault of people that they don’t understand how to maximize their utility. 5. Related to point 4, economists believe that economics (especially finance) is a “science” not a lowly “social science”. This “economics as physics” approach also conveniently insulates politicians: “we can’t defy the markets which are a force of nature, our hands are tied” rather than what they really are which is a social construct which can be shaped to meet the needs of society as a whole. the growth of behavioral economics is helping to change this, but baby steps and inevitable backlash. 6. rich people fund economics! The most prestigious Econ departments in the US are all heavily endowed by people who are heavily invested in holding onto atomization, modeling and economics approaches. Furthermore, they want this approach to economics to take over sociology, psychology and other social sciences so that they can be “real” sciences just like economics. 7. Related to endowments, although many econ profs are not paid well, the tenured finance profs are paid quite well for doing what they love, which is publishing papers. My husband makes 1/4 of a million CH per year, and for about 6 years was paid an additional 200,000 from a group of Swiss banks. Many of his colleagues sit on boards, especially for insurance companies, and get paid on average another 1/4 million per seat they hold. So don’t feel sorry for tenured finance profs, at least in Switzerland or the US, Some hope: the broad popularity of Picketty’s work on inequality and the recent awarding of a recent Nobel prize dedicated to the team of empirical economists documenting inequality are encouraging trends. Sadly/predictably, rich donors are likely to double down on their funding of chairs for theoretical/model-based economists and try to undermine behavioral economics. Keep up the great work!

  104. I was very, very pro Starmer, but in hindsight I think I just wanted to cauterise the gushing wound that was the years of conservative chaos. Since paying more attention to Gary I feel a little politically homeless right now. Nobody of any relevance in the major 'teams' is offering a way out, just a way to tread water or a horrible radical shift that won't work.
    531
  105. Hi Gary, I’m a 25 year old who studied politics for a degree and am going Oxford uni on an access scheme. I’m from a low income background and have seen my community decimated over 14 years with everyone suffering so much while the rich are so cynical and sadistic about the poor Your videos (and book) have been the best education i’ve ever received and I’m SO GRATEFUL for your work and videos on inequality, WE LOVE YOU, take your needed break and we’ll always behind you, keep going ❤️❤
    518
  106. Watching Question Time this week I was surprised to see some of the audience making your point about taxing the rich during a discussion on the cost of living. Hopefully your message is beginning to cut through to the mainstream. Keep up the good work.
    511
  107. USA – wealthiest 10% own 93% of stocks. Poorest 50% of Americans own less than 1%. Inequality divergence is growing, with the rich gobbling-up ever more assets, at a faster rate.
    510
  108. Just discovered the channel through an article about Gary on the Guardian and am blown away by how concisely and matter–of–factly he breaks down these massive issues into easily understandable videos. I feel like this man could start a revolution. Like, share, spread the word.
    510
  109. "How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political power to keep wealth in power? This is the whole art of Conservative politics in the 20th century." Aneurin Bevan.

  110. It scares me that Annabel thinks that these billionairres are working hard for their money - they aren't! It's usually returns on their wealth and NOT income Also tired of this same old argument that it's "not feasible" to tax the billionaires! Great appearance, think you went a easy on her!
    474
  111. As an Aussie watching this, it’s strange just how much this rings true for our own economy. Love the work you’re doing Gary and wish you all the best in getting this message out there. Hopefully it becomes a movement that all developed countries get behind because its certainly a troubling thematic!
    473
  112. Total respect to you Gary. It sickens me that they try and say you are wrong.
    468
  113. La Haine - Man falling off a skyscraper muttering " so far do good"...sums it up brilliantly.
    467
  114. As a relatively young person (29) growing up here from a low income background is like joining a game of monopoly half way through, all the assets have been bought so there is no chance to win
    465
  115. I used to work in Private Wealth. I used to report on private equity. People think they're going to work their way to those levels of wealth. They're wrong, you can only own your way to that. People have a soft spot for money, even when it's being used in a way that is causing harm to them. The political strategy on this issue needs to capture that.
    462
  116. Excellent participation on Politics Live - I loved your astonishment at the end when they nonchalantly discussed test tube meat 🙄... you couldn't believe the subject change when we are trudging through such corruption, chaos, mayhem...
    461
  117. The fact you are just talking to a camera with minimal editing and no bells and whistles is all we need Gary. Keep smashing it
    459
  118. Freidman said that framing economics as a mathematical science instead of a social science allowed him and his cohort to insulate themselves from the political and lived realities of what his (and his Chicago cohort’s) brand of economic theory created when implemented, often by force. This is clearly the reality of modern economics. It has become overrun with technocrats who have no sense of the profound impact economic policy has on the day to day lives of the masses. This has reduced the ability of economics and economists to act pragmatically or socially as these concerns are viewed as layman and inferior to the theoretical and often speculative high mathematics that invigorates proponents of modern economic orthodoxy/establishment.
    454
  119. The report "Inequality Knocks" this week from King's College and the Fairness Foundation about wealth inequality risks triggering 'societal collapse' within next decade may be worth reading and commenting on Gary. It would be great to hear your take on topical reports and news as well as your excellent structured learning. Keep up the great fight Gary.
    451
  120. You nailed it with the comment around ‘it’s not living in relative ‘poverty’ it’s the judgement that’s the problem’. Spot on. The internet has told everyone they should be living in big houses and driving flash cars otherwise you’re a failure. We can no longer be happy working in the ‘factory’ because we should all be millionaire YouTubers or bankers. It needs to stop. Another example of social media killing society
    449
  121. Public debt is private savings

  123. Passed the 700k subscriber mark. Keep preaching the truth, Gary. Not long until 1M.
    435
  124. I am from Brazil, economist, working against poverty for the past 8+ years. Your channel inspires me to open a similar one in Portuguese for my fellow people. Great work :) Tks for everything
    432
  125. Last time I was in England I was shocked how even “posh” cities, Cambridge, Exeter, Stratford Apon Avon, had really slid into decay. With the exception of a few ‘nice bits’ it was pretty grim overall.
    431
  126. Americans (and people who consume the same media) have always been told "Only in America, it is possible to become anything you want". This conflates possibility with probability. That's why so many average Americans would rather defend the unlikely probability of becoming the next billionaire over the high probability of going broke over college debt, healthcare bills, etc.
    426
  127. This was a triumph Gary, truly. You destroyed their arguments. Wonderful to see on the BBC
    424
  128. The waste of human potential in this country due to inequality of opportunity is enraging. I am from a similar background to Gary, but I didn't have his work ethic as a kid. I never knew anyone who aspired to anything, had never met anyone who had a job other than lifting and shifting, I didn't even know what good jobs were let alone how to get one. My school was more like an out of control prison; anyone showing signs of ambition or intelligence were mercilessly bullied. I didn't do any work at all at school and my education results were a joke as a result. It took me until much later in life to acknowledge my high intelligence and squandered potential, and to understand just how little intelligence or hard work is required from the middle classes for them to sustain their wealth and privilege. I'm glad Gary made it but my heart breaks for the rest of us.
    415
  129. Gary suggests that people should: - Educate themselves about the economy. - Work towards collective betterment by understanding societal issues. - Act in unselfish ways to counteract the influence of selfishness. - Protect ordinary people from exploitation by the powerful and wealthy. - Engage in collective action to address societal challenges, such as inequality.

  130. As a 38 yr old from essex, finally a wealthy guy from humble beginnings i trust and listen to 👏🏻
    409
  131. You are describing perfectly the actions of a narcissist. Every interaction is a game to them- a chess match- to further their own interests. And they also manipulatively mould their children into extensions of themselves- because they are obsessed with the status, power and influence they’ve accrued. If the child complies- they are a worthy beneficiary of the empire- as they reflect the narcissists’ self-obsession.
    403
  132. Independently wealthy - early retired - ex-NY banker here. I now buy multifamily real estate. I understand the dynamics Gary mentions here very, very well. When he says the rich are not evil, but do what they do as a necessary outcome of the system design he is 100% correct. Gary is unique in few powerful ways. First is that he is practical and grounded and this makes his economic analysis very clear. Second is that he is brave and angry - this makes his message especially important. The doors are currently closing for many, but I believe Gary can offer one of the few legitimate ways out. I think he warrants your close attention.
    400
  133. I just wanted to say this is the only channel where the comment section is equally as informative and expansive as the video. It’s incredible, clearly many people are engaging with critics of our economic system even if they don’t have “expertise” we just need a place to engage as collective. Thank you all
    395
  134. Very well explained. I think it was Thomas Piketty who wrote that there is a threshold of personal wealth which once surpassed, allows the super rich to control entire societies via buying politicians. This is often to society's detriment, because extreme wealth tends to select for psychopaths and those with low empathy. That's the only way anyone can get into such a position of power in the first place.
    392
  135. Gary, for nearly two decades I've been trying to get the same messages across that you have been concisely and successfully getting out to the masses recently. Let me tell you something and listen carefully to this message from a generation older than you. These people that you are going up against are not playing games! If you get too big they will come for you, do not doubt this for one second and take proper protective actions and prepare strategies now. We are a lot closer to the endgame than you realise and these people fight really really dirty.
    390
  136. Noble cause Gary. I'm rooting for you from Ireland. Haters are always gonna hate. The more they come for you, the more you should see it as you are succeeding. Keep the faith, my friend💪🏽
    389
  137. I thought critical reasoning was my most developed skill. Here comes Gary with the most lucid and clear analysis to let me know I am not that good. Well done, as usual.
    383
  138. Annabel is defending billionaires but no empathy for working people who have experienced higher taxes and inflation with worst to come next year. At her suggestion of privatising the Bakerloo Line I realised these individuals just want poor people removed from society.
    382
  139. Hi Gary. I'm from Hong Kong and I never left any commment on youtube before untill now. I will admit I was one of the "nice kid" you mentioned who lives in a nice home, have a nice meal but did nth to help, but I'm also now one of the kid who are struggling to keep our family house. Please dont lose hope, because you are our hope.
    376
  140. Gary is a sane, Reasoned voice amongst the madness
    372
  141. Something also just occurred to me, the 'Take back control' tagline resonated with so many but we missed who we should be taking back control from. The rich and powerful pointed at the poor and oppressed and told us that it was them we needed to save ourselves from but it is the rich and powerful we need to take back control from. Why are we not on the streets demanding better? Enough is enough!!!
    370
  142. Hi Gary. I have your book and I mentioned it to my brother. He went to a book shop during a lunch break, read a few pages and then bought it. He’s going to start watching your videos once he’s finished it. Hope awareness about this issue continues to sky rocket. 😊
    368
  143. Absolutely right, the game is fixed. True social mobility is (by and large) a fallacy. My daughter spends almost 70% to 75% of her income on basics, room in a shared house, groceries and travel to work (NHS). Without free accomodation (i.e. live at home) she will forever live in a room in a shared house and having a family is a distant dream. So, go Gary. We need your channel and your focus. Thank you!
    361
  144. I don’t know if it was just me but when I was a child it felt like there was so much more stability. My friends all lived in spacious houses their parents owned and they all had cars. Life isn’t as predictable anymore and it’s so much more expensive. We didn’t take it for granted, we knew life was good. If you aren’t going to inherit wealth or able to get cash gifts from family, life is so much more difficult on so many levels now!
    358
  145. People utterly refuse to blame the wealth class. Instead, we just keep fighting amongst ourselves.
    356
  146. Enjoy your holiday Gary! You've been a massive help to me in understanding this country's economics, and for that I am seriously grateful.
    351
  147. 20:00 "if you stick around to save him, then who sticks around to save you?" Gary puts it perfectly. This is why we need to change the system, so no one is forced to make this kind of impossible choice.
    350
  148. For me rich = above average wages, wealthy = money from assets, people don’t work for a living. I think we tax wages enough already, let’s start taxing wealth instead 🙏🏻
    346
  149. Pure class from Gary, didn't speak over anyone, made a clear point that the others just jumped in to blather over without saying anything. Institute of economic affairs - rich peoples propagandists.
    344
  150. I’m so riled up by my neighbours who think they’re “rich”. They have a German car on finance and live off credit card debt. So many people who are like this and think they’re “rich”. They have no idea what real wealth means. Rishi Sunak is what you call wealthy
    344
  151. Everytime Gary uploads it feels like group therapy. WEALTH TAX NOW
    344
  152. I print and bind these at work, I put extra care in these
    342
  153. im 16 watching my parents financial situation change all my friends money situations change this is the only economic channel i understand big up gary and jimmy.
    340
  154. Im 77! let's get a move on!
    338
  155. I’m a female viewer and I recommend this channel to anyone who will listen. I am optimistic for my daughter’s generation if we can push this message forward and encourage the young voters to empower themselves against the people on top, rather than disempowering themselves by becoming serfs.
    337
  156. "most of these discussions are just ten people with elite degrees talking to each other" Nice summary of contemporary academia 👍
    333
  157. As we move further into techofeudalism, the gap will grow further and economists will fall deeper into ignoring this continued problem of inequality.
    331
  158. Economics is the care of money, not people.
    330
  159. Hey Gary, I recently found your channel and been listening a lot to what you say. I come from Poland (working class family) - typical dad builder and mum working in McDonald's. I came here at 17, got a crappy degree, got myself in debt for it and now been working here for 5 years saving for that first house....yes that "British Dream". 5 years of working, saving money - not going on holidays, not buying myself things and staying at home with parents till 30 just to be able to afford to be a slave to a mortgage one day. This system is truly broken and thank you for speaking out and fighting our corner. Much Respect, keep the good fight!
    329
  160. We’re with you Gary mate. I’m promoting you, your book and your channel to everyone both here in Adelaide Australia and UK. I’ve even purchased two of your books and donated them to a public library in Adelaide. It would be great if sometime in the future if you can write a book on the different parts of economics, wealth and effects to society. Keep strong.
    329
  161. I saw an interview with Carol Vordeman on this morning covering the Nadim Zahawi tax story, it’s frustrating presenters use trivial news like lab grown meat to end a debate, ending on a ‘light note’ we need more tough uncomfortable debates on television, people need to wake up. When we have MP’s running the country who are allowed to run second jobs taking their collective income into the millions and MP’s who are actively seeing to avoid tax how can we ever fix this issue? As an ex police officer I cannot believe the conflict of interest MP’s are allowed to have, I believe political candidates should be above all honest, accountable and transparent, sadly these seem to be values none of the cabinet hold. It makes me sad to watch PMQ’s watching politicians joke and laugh about issues that are effecting millions of households across the UK, we need people who represent hard working families. Keep doing the good work Gary 🙏
    327
  162. I was a science teacher in the 70s when our school could not afford enough text books. I would say to the pupils just as Gary does,' Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you're told by Margaret Thatcher and the newspapers, but believe what you see for yourself. You two are inspirational to me because of my lived experience. Keep going
    326
  163. Austerity never ended. It continues to kill.
    321
  164. My elderly dad in Europe was reading me the newspaper exasperated that Americans are so unphappy even though the “economy is doing so well.” He believes Americans are uneducated on their own situation and misinformed about their finances and the solution is to try harder to convince them that they are “doing better.” As someone who lives in the US I found that very condescending. Your video really helped validate my frustration with that conversation.
    321
  165. We need more people Gary like speaking out. The billionaire class have completely pulled the wool over the eyes of the working class and convinced them that all wealth will flee the nation and it will fall into chaos if we enforce a fair and progressive taxation on them. Most billionaires actually enjoy living in a society that is not SO unequal that they can never relax and just go out. . without huge security detail and dread. It's in their own best interest to not widen the gap so far.
    320
  166. Excellent performance on the BBC. Great to see a debrief like this
    319
  167. I found this guy on Piers Morgans show and he has completely change my view on Economics. I am from a low income household (parents brought in 20K a year) and we survived. I managed to get an education get a job in the city as an actuary and you’re surround by people that just have one way of viewing this. It is possible to get a great city that pays well but you need to work THREE times as hard. I also had the “accent” comment on numerous occasions (growing up in south London) Keep up the great work !
    310
  168. So glad that you ended with the message about working together to change the system. I’ll happily be part of the ongoing collective action. Really feeling the power of The Woolly Hat of Wisdom today 😁
    308
  169. And the rich will get richer and the poor poorer either way. The sooner people realise wealth hoarders are the enemy the better.
    307
  170. "What am I doing wrong?" "You had the wrong parents. You shouldnt have done that" Gary you have a way with words
    307
  171. Fair dues to James O’Brien for having you on. Deserve to be heard
    300
  172. I suffered from election blues too. It was clear that the country was running away from something bad, not towards something good.
    300
  173. I grew up dirt poor in America, in and out of foster care, but was a gifted kid. Applied myself and "got out." Just wanted to thank you. You make me feel seen.
    298
  174. Divide and conquer. Oldest trick in the book. Keep up the great work 🙏👍
    296
  175. I have been watching this channel for a good while now so when I took out a mortgage last Autumn I decided to fix my mortgage for the whole term of 12 years at 3.9%, it did seem a tad high at the time but I thought that by doing that and following advice from channels like this one it made sense to me. I'm so glad I did because I do feel some sense of being protected now from all the nightmare of the market at the moment. I'm so glad this guy is now getting the attention he deserves cos this guy talks way way more sense than almost all the other economists out there. Well done mate.
    296
  176. Someone who ACTUALLY holds the Govt to account! Let's go Gary!
    294
  177. I earn a passive income in that I show up at the office but just watch Garys Economics all day. 😂
    294
  178. It’s quite fascinating how Reeves and Starmer presented with the choice of taking money from the wealthy guy in the Bentley with the Rolex. Or taking it from the pensioner, bus user, families chose the latter. We’re in a post politics money funded party system.
    294
  179. You're on point Gary. The ultra rich need to bee taxed at a higher rate, not the middle class/upper middle class or the working class/poor.
    289
  180. Garys Revolution is what we want!
    288
  181. This resonates massive with me, especially the comments on mental health. My wife and I grew up within working class families but were told if you study hard at school and work, you can have a better life. You fast forward to us now in our late 20's, two people STEM PhD educated and both earning double the national average salary and we're lightyears from ever achieving assets. I slowly came to your realisation about the asset economy throughout the pandemic and I became a very moody, bitter and cynical person because I thought I was sold a lie. Slowing working through this as I know it's just the cards we were dealt unfortunately. I don't know if things will change in our life time, but hopefully when we have kids that get to our age, they might be in a better position. Thanks again Gary
    286
  182. In 1990 when you wanted to register for something you had to telephone or get the form yourself. Fill out the form with a pen. Put that form in an envelope and go to the post office. Buy a stamp and post the letter. Someone would then drive that letter (with others) for perhaps hundreds of miles. Then it would arrive, and go into the in-tray of the person processing. They would open the letter and process it, then they would write you a letter back. Now it's all on a computer / email in the blink of an eye. But productivity is the problem.
    285
  183. You need support so you don’t feel exposed. Your message is simple and to the point. Just keep repeating it, like a songbird. Sleekness etc is not necessary.. Responsibility for too many staff can create a monster you have to feed. Keep nimble and with people you trust. Best of luck and Thank you.
    279
  184. Dam after watching this video, ive learnt one thing and one thing only. We have to become united and start making a new party or be united and tell the government to fix up. Trust me i have families in more underdeveloped countries and being poor aint easy
    278
  185. I just hope that Gary’s videos keep getting more and more coverage. We need Gary Stevenson right now. We have been kept ignorant and told that economics is beyond our comprehension for too long. Understanding what is happening and thinking critically is our best chance of surviving.
    276
  186. Louder for those at the back!! We have an issue in the UK where people think they are wealthy because they’re doing better than the people they rub shoulders with not realising how deep in the mud we all are together. This is also what’s stopping people from pursuing more economically progressive ideas. Reform support is rising solely based on fear-mongering based on immigration. People out there genuinely believe that foreigners are responsible for the continual fall in living standard. Completely ignoring the massive asset hoarding being perpetrated by the ultra wealthy =\. It’s so ironic that there’s so much energy for weeding out those that don’t work and scrounge at the bottom of our society and absolutely none for those at the top that do the exact same thing 😂!!!
    271
  187. These longer talks going in depth like this is you at your best. Keep this up dude. 100 episodes of this and youll have a full college level lecture where anyone coild come in and be an expert by the end
    270
  188. money talks but wealth whispers…you never hear or see from the super rich..keep going Gary super work 👍
    269
  189. Gary, you are an exceptional teacher. Thank you for your service.
    266
  190. Thanks Gary! There is a bunch of people arround the world who loves your content!
    266
  191. Was at a party last night met a 1st year student in Manchester studing economics so rushed back to home and gave her your book so we all adding to the conversation in a micro way but we need to address like your channel enter mainstream media
    263
  192. I've signed up for the Patreon. The first ever one I've joined because I think your cause is fundamentally so important to society and will never be placed in the spotlight by the mainstream unless we can force it.
    263
  193. Imagine how much better things would be if we had people like Gary in our politics
    258
  194. Lets do this brother 💪
    257
  195. Thank you Gary, please get a well earned rest. But please come back we need your voice!
    256
  196. If I say there's wealth inequality, I'm a bitter loser who doesn't work hard enough. To have someone like Gary say it destroys that false narrative, and I really appreciate it.
    254
  197. I am 71. Still working. No issue BUT whilst at this age I have FEW DREAMS= one would be for you to set up a Political Party. With your background and sincerity YOU would make a Difference....however, small or large that would be.....GREAT.
    253
  198. This doesn't just apply to rich and powerful people, however I would say that people like this tend to concentrate in the halls of power because they want it so badly and will do whatever it takes to get it. That's what empathetic people do not get. They have empathy so cannot imagine the ruthless void in people that do not.
    252
  199. I also grew up in a working class family in London, and went on to land a job on Wall Street. What Gary has explained here about how rich and powerful people strategically approach conversations and interactions is so important for everyone to understand. Being unaware of this makes you incredibly vulnerable. Being aware of this means you can beat the rich and powerful at their own game. It’s very rare for an ordinary person to get into circles where you can learn and realize this - so extremely grateful that Gary is sharing this. Listen, learn and apply!
    250
  200. This whole concept of money being fundamentally relative is the lightbulb people need. Thank you for your work Gary. It clearly weighs heavy on you. X
    250
  201. TAX THE RICH!
    249
  202. To those suggesting Gary should go into politics. No he shouldn't. We don't need everyone who has the credibility and experience to debunk existing economic policies to do so, he's relaying these significant conclusions to everyone and it's up to us to elect and pressure the right people to implement these ideas in Policy. It's up to us to hold our elected political representatives to account, we can all do our bit, the way Gary is doing his.
    248
  203. If we listened carefully, over the last couple of weeks we have realised that (a) the person creating the video footage is actually a dentist and (b) he's called Simran. He's probably a mate in the same block doing a favour (or at mates-rates) rather than an external and faceless hired production team. So, hats off Gary AND Simran for producing useful information in your own time!
    245
  204. Did an accounting Degree. Had to study 'Trickle down economics.' called Bullshit on it at day one. Got told: "if you don't change attitude you wont pass, its a core subject.....
    245
  205. A clear explanation of the inequality of our country! Thanks Gary
    244
  206. I was a pretty staunch conservative until this year where I came across Gary's videos and then the accumulation of tory incompetence with the economy. The one thing they always touted were they were the 'responsible' party when it came to national economics... which is now HILARIOUS to think about after the disaster of Liz Truss and Kwasi...
    244
  207. Simple living, high thinking - great to see a humble person do so well.
    243
  208. 3 years on and you were correct.
    242
  209. Gary, you are f**king hero!! Never stop doing what you’re doing!!!
    242
  210. Feels like we are in the late stages of a multi generational game of Monopoly, we are at the point when one or two players have too much money flowing to them for anyone to have much of a chance. Each new generation is coming to the game when hotels are already established on every tile and there is a minimal and shrinking amount of opportunity. At some point the game is just gonna seize up because there is nothing left to be bled from the lower/middle earners when everything they have a realistic chance to earn is not enough to cover the debts demanded of them to simply exist in society by the rich.
    241
  211. I don't say this casually, but these 2 are representative of the best of Britain and the best of our generation
    240
  212. My grandparents owned a house, my parents rent, I live in overcrowded social housing. At this rate if I manage to have kids they'd probably be homeless. Thank you Gary and those behind the scenes for advocating for us. ❤
    238
  213. Terrific idea Gary. I'm financially illiterate but have learnt so much from your videos
    238
  214. I was the Citibank (Auckland) FX forwards (overnight -1 year swaps) trainee >>> trader 1993 - 1996. Your book floored me but didn't surprise me. Well done for writing it. Not sure if people can really understand the trading room/treasury/corporate banking environment until they've been there. But I guess that's the same for everything, innit?
    238
  215. Gary, it'd be great if, occasionally, you could do videos "debunking" the economic opinions we always hear on programs like BBC's Politics Live and Question TIme etc. There's so much disinformation being spun that gets no pushback from hosts and journalists. Of course, it would mean you'd actually have to watch the programs which I know is painful!
    237
  216. Congratulations on 4 years speaking out on a truth many do not want to hear.
    236
  217. Probably if not definitely the most important and informative video ever posted on YouTube. Thank you for speaking out and explaining this catastrophic situation so simply and eloquently. It would have been very easy for someone in your financial position to just sit back and do nothing, the fact you continue to beat the drum is testament to your character and integrity. Keep up this vital work. You are the hero this country/world needs.
    233
  218. Gary has the amazing ability to see the details and the overall picture and connect them together in meaningful ways. We need this man so much now.
    232
  219. As a PhD in Economics, I can swear Gary is 100% right on this
    229
  220. Heya, an old regular viewer here from Mexico. What you explain today, this happened in my lifetime in my country twice (or 3 times, we discuss still when was the end of one crisis) and we became tied to such a huge debt that no mater how much we increased productivity (with terrible working conditions for the people, people loosing their homes, loans they ended up paying 3 or 4-fold, privatization of from around 500 state companies to having a hand full that over time were left to become shambles (including our national petrol company), massive migration and entry of remittances, exporting everything we possibly can, etc...) we are still just paying the interest on the debt, have not scratched the debt from the 80s and 90s at all. It forced our society to such extreme pain we ended up with at the time the richest man in the world and a country with over 60% poverty and of that 30% in misery (the ultra-poor)... It is baffling to me that 2 decades later, some of rich countries got into the same bondage structure, little by little, it's as if they are not realizing what they have been doing, or, it is on purpose. I really enjoy your channel! Take care
    228
  221. On ITV debate, the labour representative actually got challenged by someone about inequality and if they would tax the ultra-wealthy to fund their tax cuts, she just kept silent and just ignored that it was a thing so I reckon there are some ultra-wealthy individuals which are financing the labour party.
    228
  222. Gary could you breakdown clearly firstly who is Government paying the interest to and secondly the source of the money that the Government borrows - this would really help fill in the whole picture for many of us. TIA
    227
  223. I agree 100% with everything you say. I owned a cab office for 19 years and during the 2000s I had over 100 drivers and the business was thriving but now recently I was forced to close my business because I can no longer compete with Uber. This multibillion business destroyed us
    227
  224. I'm self employed and a single parent. I'm also too old to become rich or financially very comfortable. But my son & daughter still have a chance, so I'll pass on this video to them, hoping that they'll get your message. Thank you for your videos xx
    226
  225. You have a great gift for explaining these problems with such clarity. I really hope that your channel continues to gain traction and this message, essentially the truth laid bare of what's happening, reaches more and more people.
    226
  226. Thank you for your honesty Gary and for not using your success to prey on vulnerable people like all the other YouTube money voices out there.
    223
  227. This lecture is by far Gary’s best - stick with it !
    223
  228. The other thing that seems to be a trend in a lot of debates on this subject (including this one) seems to be that the opposition very quickly turns to "oh, you're just going to take ALL the money away? Confiscate it like in the French revolution?" ...tax is somehow only just when applied to the poor and full on robbery when applied to the rich. The psychosis runs deep. I imagine that getting 10% less of a 2bn PURE PROFIT is not going to dissuade any tycoon from 'trying their best'.. (personally I would be ok with only 1.8!). But 200mil in public spending changes lives.
    222
  229. People of the UK are really lucky to have you Gary. I mean it. I hope you reach your goals and show others that we do not have to put up with broken system any longer
    222
  230. Gary drops these videos on Sunday mornings like a sermon from a pastor 😂 I'm a British-Ghanaian, and Ghana is horrendously unequal, poor, and the real estate sector is booming. The apartments being built are small in comparison to traditional Ghanaian homes, and start at $50k. Increasingly, the home owners in Accra are diasporans like my family, renting to local people, who are totally priced out. My relatives went to Ghana to work for think-tanks and paid nothing in Ghanaian income tax. Nothing works in Ghana, nothing. Even with an income of £40-50k, you're struggling for everything, because the infrastructure is awful. No water for days on end, you rely on a poly tank. You need a generator for electricity. My sister was electrocuted because there was a surge in the local grid that is poorly maintained. There's no proper road in many places. British people today have no idea what awaits them if they allow inequality to cannibalise their economy.
    221
  231. It is worse than that. In the US it used to be that one income could support a home, a car, a stay at home wife, kids, a modest yearly vacation, and modest savings. Today two people working can't even pay the bills. Many people have to have a full time and a part time job just to cover the basics. In the US if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation it would be over $20 an hour now and yet many people today feel that $20 an hour is a reasonable wage because many employers are paying less. Jobs used to give you a pension plan and free healthcare that took care of the basics such as a yearly physical exam, and regular basic visits to the doctor.Today business has gotten rid of pension and the free medical plan you get with your job if you get one has deductibles and co-pays so high you can't afford to go to the doctor.. You used to get a paid 1 hour lunch and coffee breaks. Now you get a 1/2 hour unpaid lunch. You used to get holiday pay and if you worked the holiday you would be paid time and 1/2. Many companies today make you take your accrued vacation days if you take a holiday off and only regular pay if you do work the holiday. All of this while corporations profits are through the roof,
    221
  232. It took me 10yrs post-university to unpack the complex algebra and realise it’s largely irrelevant and conceptually straight forward (I work in economics for a living) then start challenging the assumptions. The political & media class drive me nuts with their blatant self interest, complicit stupidity & naive impact assessment. You hit the nail on the head with this piece. One of your best.
    221
  233. I’m a primary school teacher in East London and every day I see how children are drawn to the idea of doing good and being kind to others. The reality is that these young souls and minds are growing up in a city saturated with marketing, depicting a world they feel they need to aspire to. While at the same time, growing up with real hardship so, the idea of making lots of money for oneself is going to be the number one priority. I don’t know how we can say to people who have grown up in poverty or hardship that some of the aspirations that are out there are false ones. Those who are wealthy can do their bit to help, however benevolence is not and should never be the preserve of the rich! How can those who live in poverty be more empowered and gain more agency? Education is one way. The question is, how, in this current system?
    221
  234. You're right they are going to hate you for this. You're also correct. Thank you
    219
  235. You're one of those people that slightly restores my faith in humanity. Keep it up!
    219
  236. Gary, you are planting gardens under whose shade you might not sit. You are keeping alive the idea that there is an alternative, and what we do is a choice. We can choose to do differently. Thank you for what you do.
    219
  237. Yours is a lifetime goal Gary, don't give up, you can do this. We support you 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
    218
  238. gary your last point about mental health and poverty made me start crying. i'm one of those young people who's slid down a poverty/debt hole due to all the shenanigans of this last decade, and you pointing out that this is gonna be a long game really hit me. we gotta look out for each other and keep remembering that if we live in a system we made that means we can make a different one. in the meantime sometimes it's just really fucking hard to get out of bed in the morning to keep trying while shit is this rigged, and i guess i just appreciate you acknowledging that. keep up the good fight gary, thanks for who you're choosing to be.
    218
  239. I'm an American who's made it my personal mission to share your channel and message with as many people who will listen to me. I wake up every morning terrified since Trump took office. But I realize the fear is what they want. Fear stops us from acting, and is especially stops us from acting rationally. I will not be silenced and I will continue spreading this truth. It's not red or blue, it truly is the extremely wealthy versus everyone else.
    217
  240. I've always said this, and I am delighted to hear Gary speak about it. If you've got a mortgage, you're not a honeowner; you're a loan owner.
    214
  241. Proud subscriber to the Patreon, I login every day and it’s really nice to see a very positive community developing already. Including a tool to email your local MP developed by one of the members. Let’s do this!
    211
  242. Very informative Gary thank you, your patents must be so proud of you , not because you made so much money but because despite that youve decided to come back and fight for us, the world got lucky a boy from humble backround breached the barrier and made it to the other side and decided it wasnt any better , they werent counting on you being a good person , keep it up Gary ❤❤
    210
  243. You have no idea how grateful I am for you doing what you're doing, thank you Gary, keep it going.
    209
  244. Thank you for this Gary. I've never had a pot to piss in my whole life. I've managed to pay off the mortgage on the council house I lived in all my life. I'm 53, disabled, and genuinely worried about my future. God bless.
    209
  245. I was a child that had opportunity after opportunity my whole life, but for some reason I didn’t try hard or take those opportunities. I fell into what you might call a “bad” crowd. Basically my friends were just poor and had nothing, but were nice to me so I hung around with them. No matter how hard I tried to self destruct my own life, no matter how much trouble I got into, I still managed to get a decent job in insurance at 18 thanks to who my dad was. I did everything in my power to try and throw that job away but I was never sacked, because of my dad. Eventually around 24 years old I woke up and decided to start trying. By this time all the poor kids I was friends were drug addicts, homeless, dead, or in prison. Im under no illusion that the only reason that didn’t happen to me is because I am from a richer family. That’s why I feel passionately the gap between rich and poor needs to be closed. Get this speech played in every secondary school in the country. Adults have selective hearing, let’s start shaping the minds of the children who will listen. Tax the ridiculously wealthy.
    209
  246. It's not about left and right it's about rich and poor.
    209
  247. Great to have you back, Gary. Not only do you need employees but a team around you to support you. The stronger you grow, the more the 'money' is going to come after you, smear you, try and bring all you have down. If you are going to go for it, then you need to do it in fast time and get more economists, financial experts, or celebrities on board, so it's not just you taking the flack. Anyhow, you'll have my monthly support for the future as I believe that this is the only way we will ever stop the rapidly increasing decline in all aspects of our society.
    208
  248. I went to Oxford age 18, from a comprehensive in 1994, and it was the biggest eye-opener of my life when it came to class, power and money. It's a great experience in terms of giving you confidence to stand by your opinions, and I made a few very good friends. But I honestly never realised before going there how the rich elite look down on the rest of us. People would introduce themselves by their schools and would immediately become friends, and do a kind of bemused sneer at the few of us not from that clique. For a couple of years I thought to myself that if I had kids I would definitely send them to public school, so they could be on the 'inside'... but then I realised how corrupt and poisonous the whole system is, and I evolved to thinking that we just need to ban all public/private schools in the UK. It's at the root of so many societal problems. I think Oxford gives you a great academic, critical thinking discipline. But they are in their own academic bubble... for postgrad I am doing my masters with the Center for Alternative Technology in Wales (I am more biology/food focused), which is both academic and politically radical, and a much more enjoyable experience!
    205
  249. I’m not an economist, I’m someone with an economics degree who runs a joinery business but I have always maintained an interest in economics and politics over the last 30 years. Never did we once cover or discuss inequality during my time at university, never have I read about inequality in any meaningful way in any economics journal. For someone like myself who is probably more savvy with regard to economics than the average person on the street, this channel is quite an eye opener, keep up the good work.
    202
  250. "First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you." Nicholas Klein
    202
  251. Gary ,You made me weep. I do hope your mum and dad are proud of you.I am a 63 year old nurse and you make complete sense to me. Thank you.
    201
  252. Reminds me of a slogan from the 1968 protests: "Labour, Tory both the same, puppets in the bosses game". It's even more true now than it was then. Halfway through the paperback Gary. It's engrossing.
    198
  253. Blindly working ‘hard’ is a distraction from working creatively, productively, cooperatively, passionately. Important distinctions because the former is often soul destroying and the latter is empowering - personally & economically
    196
  254. All those years ago during A level Maths, I remember a really passionate and articulate teacher trying his best to get the concepts across to us, his students. Thank you Gary for doing the same again 40 years later, it will certainly make a difference to our understanding of this system that we’re in.
    194
  255. I hope you become just as well known as Martin Lewis.
    194
  256. I am the living proof of this government's absurd financial strategy. I live currently in a primary school in East Sussex with a property guardianship company which was closed down a few years ago due to "cost" issues. It's actually a nice place to live, and the rent is relatively cheap considering the location and building's aesthetics. I couldn't afford to rent in the private sector, most landlords are asking for £750 PCM+ around this area for a small box room! This site is due to be auctioned off at some point this year, which just doesn't make any financial sense as the remaining local schools are already grotesquely over subscribed, and with a growing population will only get much, much worse. The local council will inevitably end up having to rent another building to become a School, eight people will also become homeless, and no doubt an out of place block of unaffordable flats will replace a historic building to feather the nest of another faceless investor. Utter, utter short term insanity.
    193
  257. Because this method only works if you have a significant amount of money you don't need, ready to be invested over and over, and besides, you also have your life's expenditures paid with another cash flow that will never stop. Long story short: Only those who are already rich can take advantage of the compound interest and get richer.
    193
  258. Thank you Gary. I had no clue this was happening. I'm a working class woman from Leytonstone and i've made myself middle class. I've noticed that many of my middle class peers are being made redundant and not finding work. I appreciate your clear message. I'm still surprised you're not known by everyone everywhere. I share your videos and mention your name on LBC. Keep going. You're doing a fantastic job.
    191
  259. Your channel is set to be the most important channel on UK delivered YouTube, looking forward to the next two videos. Mass education is the building block of a healthy society.
    191
  260. Gary, your ability to patiently repeat and rephrase how inequality is at the root of everything is precisely what enabled your growth on YouTube (in my opinion). Never apologize for repeating it, rest asure we will gladly listen to it over and over again. And I hope every time you repeat "follow the money" one more person subscribes.
    190
  261. As the last vestiges of humanity are sold for shares on the human stock market it's time to admit that we have the worst system of resource management and sustainability ever created. The impact on human psychology and the planet should tell us all we need to know. Led by a minuscule minority by our wallets to the grave...
    189
  262. I'm old enough to be your grandmother, and if I was I would be so proud of you. Mind your health, don't burn yourself out. We need people like you to explain how things work, and how it is so stacked against the ordinary man in the street.
    188
  263. killed it on the novara interview there. always a great guest but seeing you go off got me curious about following this channel. worked for royal mail from i was 16 for 15 years before getting into game development. its crazy how different money is when you work with people from a completely different social strata
    188
  264. just realized gary is one of the only rich people constantly rooting for a tax increase for the rich while educating on the importance of taxing the rich
    187
  265. Love Gary’s breakdowns of what’s “really” going on around us. Refreshing to see an Incredibly sharp guy who hasn’t abandoned his working class heart. Please keep up the great work!
    187
  266. Recently having had my first child really made "Tax the rich or your kid will be poor" hit hard.
    186
  267. You know Gary’s channel is working when you read through the large number of trolling comments. Keep tugging that forelock guys
    186
  268. The longer I live the more I honestly believe that change is only ever going to come by way of a good old-fashioned revolution. Watching Gary in action is a good way to see empathy in action.
    186
  269. Man this is the most genuine video I’ve ever watched. As far as philosophy goes, this is the least pretentious, most from the heart language I’ve come across. You are a true leader, respect man.
    185
  270. Glad to have you back Gary. I think one reason the channel has continued to grow while you’ve been away is the book. Multiple people recommended it to me, I gifted a couple of copies for Christmas and I hear your name come up in conversation often. Word of mouth is really powerful so the momentum continued with people discovering you even without new videos. Labour can’t ignore us forever. Keep fighting the good fight
    185
  271. Listening from the US where these issues are extremely prevalent as well. We need cross boarder partnerships because the wealthy operate globally just as much as they operate locally.
    184
  272. Gary's upbringing sounds very similar to mine. I also had to share a tiny 8 foot by 8 foot box with my brother and we're both over 6 foot. What I think has happened to Gary is similar to what i was going through. If you grow uo working class but ambitious, you are driven by your bitterness and the unfair situation you feel you were in. As soon as you start to do well, you look around at who you're working for and who you're working with and it creates an existential crisis. You realise that getting ahead in life as an individual will not change the broken system we are left with. I'm very appreciative of Gary's voice and I am really watching in horror as his predictions become reality.
    183
  273. Sitting here in America, watching this after Trump’s (and Musk’s) reelection and about a week after a healthcare executive was assassinated by Luigi Mangione and the not so surprising public response. Really makes you think. I’m glad there are brilliant people like you shouting about inequality and the economy. I know it can make one feel like a Cassandra at times, but it looks like there are a lot of people here in this comment section who are fully supportive of what you’re saying and trying to do.
    183
  274. You should be heard across the world, but as has been proven before, you will be stopped , especially if what you are saying is the truth. Keep doing you, and we will keep supporting you. 👏👏👏💜
    181
  275. I just finished Gary’s book. Keep spreading the message, it might change the world.
    178
  276. “If you destroy social mobility a direct consequence of that is unintelligent people in top jobs” … “it’s a drive towards incompetency”…. Ah this is brilliant . 🙌
    178
  277. Well done to Helen for spreading the message! That's one way we can all help. Keep up the great work, Gary!
    178
  278. Compound interest conflicts with the consumer capitalist and rentier capitalist system that we are trapped in. Got it.
    178
  279. Best economic explanation I've heard in decades. Thank you.
    177
  280. I hope this gets millions of views, for the sake of all of society I hope people are listening. If we don’t fix the broken system, then inequality can only end in one way, collapse, wars, chaos. Wake up people
    177
  281. "I don't want redistribution, I'm trying to stop the redistribution". BRILLIANT! You give us the vocabulary to articulate our arguments Gary. Fantastic work.
    177
  282. I was at the LSE in the mid ‘80’s and the teaching of economics was rapidly moving towards econometrics and mathematical models. I remember one lecturer in particular lamenting how quickly it had changed and that the divorce from social policy made no sense when trying to ‘understand’ the economy.
    177
  283. The code switching of accents is a hard relate, been there. Arguably, your "twang" is what pulled people in, it's familiar to a lot of us. You're raising the profile of wealth inequality in a novel way and it's essential. "The rich kept their income,and lost their expenditure." Keep on keeping on 💪🏾. Side note: we need a super cut edit of all the one liners in this video 😁
    176
  284. Mahatma Gandhi famously included "wealth without work" as one of the "seven social sins" that he believed would destroy society.
    176
  285. Government is a skint renter who could rewrite the rental contract to say that they own the house if they wanted to. Imagine.
    176
  286. What have we learnt about Game Theory? Economists and rich people are selfish.
    175
  287. You are absolutely right.I have worked as a doctor in the NHS for over 30 years.For almost everything you say about economics one could substitute the word ‘health.’ Product placement by Big Pharma in the media, including to their shame the front cover of the Economist a few weeks ago, confuses. Politics influences healthcare just as much as it does economics,untruths are spread widely,access to a healthy life is almost entirely dependent on access to personal wealth. The size of a lobbying group matters tho at the same time ‘it’s only individuals that make a difference’

  288. Always nice to hear a voice of sanity when there is so much garbage being spouted right now in the media.
    174
  289. This video ages like fine wine (sadly for the working people) the incompetence of government is evidence based. The message has started to spread.
    174
  290. You foresaw these bloody riots mate😮 You’re bang on! Enjoy your well-earned holiday.
    173
  291. Feeling so hopeless and afraid that things won't get better. It feels awful seeing the NHS being destroyed and education deteriorating in real time. I am a teacher, and it is depressing working with these children. So many are on free school meals (FSM) and living in poverty (I'm in a state secondary school in a "wealthy" part of London and in some classes 50% are on FSMs). How do I encourage them and give them hope when I am working full time and still struggling? I don't think I will ever buy a house and already can barely afford to pay rent and save.
    173
  292. Your story about asking your colleague what to do about the collapsing economy and his complete bewilderment at your question reminds me of that old quote "it is impossible to get someone to understand something when their livelihood depends on them not understanding it." The inequality is a feature, not a bug.
    171
  293. Every single video you do such a great job of explaining these concepts in a way the average person can easily understand. Keep it up Gary you are doing important work!
    170
  294. What I realised during my life is that most of the people don't understand that being reach dosen't mean to have loads of money, but to be healthy, have a family, trusted people around you, being able to travel, hobby, leave in a country free of violence, hate and war... I don't have TV since 2006, I don't do social media... Maybe this is why being rich means something different to me.
    169
  295. I'm a female watcher of Gary's economics
    169
  296. 71 year old grandma....just love watching Gary's channel...What a lovely young man with a big heart.....and such good honest words coming from a lad that knows...I have 4 lads and always talk about you....what a treasure you are Gary❤thank you for your honesty.
    169
  297. This video couldn’t be clearer. Thank you Gary. I hope all the regular working stiffs in the comments, simping for multi-millionaires of the rentier class understand this too.
    168
  298. You know heating bills are extortionate when even a millionaire has to wear gloves in their home.
    168
  299. I very much respect you for not getting mad. There's not 1 curse, not 1 personal attack on anyone. If you know so much, it often comes with a lot of anger. So kudos for not being overly vocal with it. You make a stronger point and - I think - promote the message of working together instead of fueling polarisation
    168
  300. Mornin' Gary, you forgot to predict the snow today ..... :)
    167
  301. Thank you for not putting this behind a paywall those of us that really need this information can't afford one..
    167
  302. The inequality also makes the class divide even worse, and there is a feeling of shame especially as a man for not being able to provide for your children and your partner. Walking around London you are also constantly reminded that you arent where you need to be to even feel accepted. I can only see this getting worse unfortunately.
    167
  303. Yes Gary, keep fighting the good fight. We need voices like yours now more than ever!
    166
  304. I don't honestly think that Keir Starmer would understand any of that. Happy for him to prove me wrong. I like being proven wrong. Not a political comment as there are very few in the Tory Party that would either. What does it mean to be human is the question for the human race at the moment. What does it mean? Gary is one in a million, he is equipped to see our problems from every angle; economic, socially and morally. All I really know is that we should listen to him before it's too late and inequality destroys humanity.
    165
  305. Mate. No one else is fighting for us. It is a marathon not a sprint. Keep doing what you are doing and change will happen. Thank you for all your efforts.
    165
  306. Hey Gary are you able to chat about the wage price spiral theory at some stage please? I feel that the media are using it to convince us to think we shouldn't have decent wages
    165
  307. As a Nigerian Prince trying to do this legitimately, this makes my blood boil tbh.
    165
  308. Best video yet. “Tax work less, tax wealth more”. That’s a slogan Tee I’d buy ❤
    165
  309. In economics it's called Marginal propensity to consume. Which is the economic fact that the richer you are the lower percent of your money you spend in the economy it either goes into savings, offshore or assets which do nothing for the economy. Whereas every pound given to a poorer person would be spent in the economy.
    164
  310. It is Wednesday my dude, and you were so right with this video, even the PM tried to claim this as one of his "wins" while announcing the election. What a clown show.
    163
  311. Please don't just comment on this page. As Gary has said repeatedly - we must get politically active. I stood in the local elections last week and continually related to inequality and the disappearing middle class during the campaign. I topped the poll in a middle-class property owning ward and got the highest vote in the new boundaries and the highest vote overall since 2007 on the old boundaries. We have stop the decline of the middle by people from the middle taking power from the elite and then taxing the wealth of the elite to grow the middle and save the economy and the planet.
    162
  312. Thanks Gary. We should also ask what has happened to National Debt. In 2010 when the Tories came to power it was around £1 trillion by Tory estimates, and that was after we bailed out the banks due to a cross-party decision. It's now over £2.8 trillion almost tripled in just 12 years, despite the dramatic cuts to public services. This a huge slice of our GDP.
    161
  313. Someone once said "there's a lot of crabs in a barrel, but crabs don't belong in a barrel and no one ever thinks about that." This lecture was so real, you spend all this time fighting for financial freedom and then realise why it had to be a fight in the first place.
    161
  314. I’m a late starter due to various reasons. These days there’s so much information and opinions and dream sellers. It’s a real blessing to find integrity and conscious honest realism. Thanks for taking the turn on your path that you did. You’re giving me the life lessons I missed. Peace brother 🙏🏻
    161
  315. Its not the money that matters, its the security that comes with it. That's the real wealth. To me anyways. thanks dude!
    160
  316. We need more people like you standing up and telling the truth.
    159
  317. Academic economics is certainly an interesting topic. Having studied it for 3 years (masters this autumn) it is clear that it tends to eat challenging and intellectual individuals and turn them into robots by the end of the undergraduate level. The whole ”Think like an economist” crap is sadly not in the best interest of the society.
    157
  318. Gary, I'm a lot older than you, but have had some of the same experience with the rich. My parents both grew up dirt poor and had very little until my dad lost his job--the owner gave it to his young son. He started a business, got lucky and moved across town. It was a brutal learning experience. I didn't have a friend for a year and like, people wouldn't even talk to me just because of who I was. I wasn't an ace at math but my ticket in was that I was a good athlete. Once people figured that out I was invited in and it was BIZARRE. I can't do what you do and get it across to people that we are all being played and have to learn to accept each other. I hope you have some kind of movement in mind because with your diverse experience and ability you could be the guy to lead us out. I'm with you!
    157
  319. Gary, can you give us a costing breakdown of where this £700billion (so far) has come from so when we're asked we can defend the figure. Is it taxpayers money (Govt debt) and how has it gone to the rich ? It's a great soundbite and will gain traction if used often enough so we all have to understand exactly how it's happened and how we arrived at that figure (because the media and politicians WILL challenge it and we have to be able to explain it SIMPLY). Keep up the great work, the movement is growing, I want to see you get to over 1 million subscribers
    157
  320. Thank you Gary. Please keep on keeping on. INEQUALITY MATTERS. To fellow followers please share far and wide.
    156
  321. We also have to teach our kids the other side of the coin. That it is OK to look out for each other that it is OK to think and act collectively. This is a long term problem which is going to require a long term solution, we need to engage with young people now as it's going to be their generation and the generations beyond them that this will affect the most and let's be honest, they aren't going to be taught this in our current schooling system. GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS GARY, thank you! 👍🏻
    155
  322. Gary has a really good way of reserving his contempt for people with power, while ensuring not to condescend to ordinary people.
    155
  323. Please don’t give up Gary, your message is being spread. It takes time to open people’s eyes to the truth.❤
    154
  324. The fact that you have money and you’re choosing to spend your free time telling people about your point of view is really commendable. Keep on Gary
    153
  325. I f**king love this guy. Stumbled upon him 2 weeks ago and have binged his entire video library and listened to his audiobook. What a legend.
    152
  326. Call me naive, but I genuinely feel there's no agenda and little ego at work here, I feel like this isn't even really content creation persae, it's a person doing a genuine kindness for others and his main goal is sharing knowledge. Thank you Gary, subscribed.
    151
  327. As 66 year old poor boy I recognise your life story and your conclusions. Thanks for putting it into word's. Have a brilliant holiday and come back revitalised and keep pushing your message. If I were younger I'd join you in pushing the message, but my health restricts me. But I wholeheartedly support you. And swearing is just our learn way of expressing ourselves don't loose it as it reminds other's you really mean what you say.
    151
  328. It's amazing how once you understand inequality, almost everything else makes sense and falls into place. For example, I read news articles from NBC about how economists are surprised that people are still quitting their jobs and demanding higher wages, and even with wages being higher some people aren't working - Well of course! What difference is $13/hr to $15/hr when the price of a home has doubled in 3 years. People would rather opt out of the game than play a game they feel is a lose lose for them regardless. I just makes so much sense.
    151
  329. You have seen what's behind the curtain and have a deep understanding of the problem. What a brilliant talk.
    151
  330. You know a key telling that Gary is legit? He's not asking for money, I know majority of people in Gary's position would be trying to make money off us. Gary's not because of where he came from and he hasn't forgotten his roots. With you till the end Gary Stevenson!
    151
  331. I've literally just had a labour party member knock on my door asking me how I'm voting for the upcoming local election and what my views are, I spent 10 mins talking to her about wealth inequity and how labour need that to be the most burning issue they address and they do they have my vote. I shocked myself at how pasionate comprehensive I sounded, and they came from the knowledge and insight gained from watching your videos. Thank you so much for the energy you are bringing to this, exactly what the public need to hear.
    151
  332. I always get as much anxiety as I do delight when I watch your videos - anxiety because what you're describing is so fragile and terrifying; delight because you're so talented at and committed to communicating your insights
    149
  333. God bless this man
    149
  334. Dude, you take it easy man. You are one courageous individual. Fair play. Make sure you have a strong support group because the passion and emotional intensity you put into those debates comes at a price, particularly when it shines from authenticity. You can't do that alone.
    148
  335. Dude, you are blowing my mind with how much this resonates with how the economy 'feels' rather than how we were told it works. I was feeling smug about my huge mortgage being inflated away, but this makes me think that my 'sell the house' retirement plan might not work out so well for our daughter. The truth hurts. All of the government interventions that have enriched the already rich: 'Never let a good crisis go to waste' - Winston Churchill
    147
  336. Clear, concise and applicable to Canada, where I live. Should be shown in every school economics class.
    146
  337. Standing right beside xxx Look after your mental health, Keep going Gary Thank you so much x
    145
  338. As a Dutchman I'd love to see your analysis of the Netherlands. Also, not that you haven't got enough to do, but if and when your platform grows, applying your analyses to other countries would make for an even more interesting platform. In the end I believe these problems touch us all.
    145
  339. Gary is a natural orator, is able to explain so clearly. Cannot argue with a single point. Great stuff, more videos please
    145
  340. Never underestimate the power of social media. Best of luck with your book, mate.
    144
  341. Enjoyed your interview with James O'Brien. Hopefully you'll be contributing on his show from time to time.
    144
  342. Gary, you’re a lighthouse in these dark times. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you
    144
  343. The Nazi party only had to convince 10% of the people that they should go to war..the rest followed.The moral of the story is education critical thinking and a genuine love for our fellow man.Kindness is a currency that is becoming a rare comodity and its far more precious than diamonds.Great channel.
    143
  344. I’ve been listening to Gary for years now, I am qualified in economics (UCL) and I totally agree with his extrapolations of where we are going in our economy and it is becoming more and more obvious that capital is being polarised to the already wealthy. I will be buying the book. Shout out to Simran, clever guys
    143
  345. I want Gary to be Chancellor, he wants the best solutions for the people, not the oppressive 'attack services,the poor, young and marginalised' solutions to every economic crises
    143
  346. Finally the channel is growing at a reasonable rate. Continue the good work Gary - people will follow you.
    142
  347. You're the teacher at school that I would have looked forward to being in your lesson so much. These videos are like a really good school lesson.
    142
  348. My dad paid the final mortgage payment in 1989 on our family 3 bed townhouse on an estate in Hackney, East London. He had a normal job as a painter for Tower Hamlets council, but he could afford to buy that property on his own under right to buy, think it was 75k. When he passed away in 2011, we sold it for 340k and now it's tagged up for 560k. Asset inflation is killing everywhere especially London, I feel for the young. I'm Glad you're making these videos Gary, to spot light WTF is going on out here.
    141
  349. The comparison to the merchant class marrying into aristocracy is so accurate, another banger Gary!
    140
  350. I live in Hanoi, Vietnam, and a lot of what Gary says here makes sense. The city is overpopulated, polluted and stressful to live in, but there is a sense in which people have to live there. I'm a teacher and I would love to get out of the city, move my family to nice part of the country, but there is no way I'd get paid anything like as much. Ironically, it would be difficult to find good quality education for our boy also.
    139
  351. Love the channel Gary, support from Ireland.
    136
  352. You are one of the few actually doing something for the people!
    135
  353. I keep sending your videos to my FIL who was very much Conservative (pre Boris) he’s coming round, he has grandchildren that this is affecting. Keep up the good work! As a council Estate girl to a council estate boy - proud of ya! Xxx
    134
  354. On the individual level, compounding interest is so popular because it does work for the people who can make it work. In order to avoid the life cycle effect, working adults need to make enough money to save in addition to providing for their children (the first part of the cycle) and their parents (or at least help their parents not spend all of their money). This means that getting rich requires a lot of capital up front (the already-rich) OR requires a job that pays enough relative to your cost of living and the cost. For someone middle class to make this work, it requires living as though you’re on a low income, but without the programs to help poor families. More people used to be able to access good public services but the more those go away the harder it is for people to move from poor to rich. Obviously it’s most important to have a well functioning economy, but we can also do things to make sure hard workers are actually able to rise to the top and it’s not just based on who you were born to
    134
  355. It clearly does. And it also applies to the most of Europe and Japan. So good luck to all of us.
    134
  356. Gary is the best. Every time I hear him speak I feel validated and learn a little more about the current state of the economy/world order. Cheers from the USA!
    134
  357. Bought your book it was excellent! Now my 15 year old son is reading it. Shared your channel with all the family. Thank you
    134
  358. That university economist believes his/her newborn baby drinks 1 litre of pure alcohol a year on average. Statistically it's true.
    134
  359. This is the sort of information and clarity I would like to get from an unbiased and informed journalist or news media, and I never have. Really appreciate this clarity, thankyou!
    133
  360. Thanks a million Gary! I love that you’re not playing their game but focusing on the important facts. Keep going. Please.
    133
  361. "Rishi Sunak and conservatives claim credit for the passage of time!" This is such manipulative bullshit.
    132
  362. Yes Gary! We need these short form concise videos to bring people on side. This may be the best video I've seen of yours. Anyone prepared to watch a long video is probably already on side!
    131
  363. The news often works by focusing on particular events and removing it from it's context. It actually makes bigger issues harder for the public to understand. It happens in economics, geo politics and war and other areas. Your chanel is brilliant in educating people. Thanks!
    129
  364. Gary, I am surprised that you don't have more exposure yet. Your logic and presentation are incredibly clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much.
    128
  365. What the fuck is the point of having billionaires if you can't have a healthy society along with them? Like if the choice is tax billionaires and some leave then who cares? We already weren't getting tax off them.
    128
  366. BIG RESPECT from Bulgaria to YOU, Garry ! You are ONE OF US, the PEOPLE !
    127
  367. Your voice is cutting through! My friend quoted you chapter and verse & recommended your book!! This guy's no avid youtuber. The longest journey starts with the shortest step Thank you gary
    127
  368. If only everyone could hear this Gary. All the “experts” that the BBC et al interview never talk about this stuff do they?
    127
  369. Thank you gary. Your work is heroic as most wealthy people like to “pull the ladder up behind them” Please keep it up.
    125
  370. "Capitalism is democracy, but £1 = 1 vote" 👏 thanks for putting that out there; I've been saying exactly this for ages to explain why I think capitalism and inequality hurts democracy
    124
  371. I'm ready to help the fight against Inequality. This is an issue which everyone in society faces. People in my generation (Gen Z) don't yet realise that if we remain on our current economic trajectory, that we will never: own a home, have financial stability or be able to have children of our own in this rapidly destabilising world. My future depends on solving inequality. I'm no Socialist or communist but we need a brief societal reset which sensibly distrubutes the wealth and assets MORE equally across society. It won't solve all of societies woes but it'll cause massive positive societal change
    124
  372. Thank you Gary for explaining economics in an understandable way. Much appreciated. The super rich are a threat to the society.
    124
  373. Amen brother, protect this man at all costs before he’s silenced by the mega rich!
    124
  374. Last five minutes knocked it out of the park. As a student of US economic history, I've been trying to tell all my friends exactly that. Since the 1970s, Republicans AND Democrats have helmed a bipartisan effort to cut taxes on the rich and gut social spending on the rest of us. Your point about Biden's Industrial Policy is really acute. Ultimately, investments in chips and green tech were less about kickstarting mass employment (which many mainstream economists still blame covid inflation on) and more about national security. Even then the investments were not large enough to come close to China's or even, in some cases, the EUs. Biden's IP as well was also very top heavy: even though there was some good stuff in there, mostly it was tax credits for corporations and luxury goods like EVs or solar panels that working people can't afford. Kamala was the epitome of everything wrong with this. All her talk of "opportunity economy" was so out of touch: most people don't want to turn their hobbies into some sort of entrepreneurial business — we want affordable healthcare, housing, education, childcare, & cost of living more broadly. Biden offered an interesting modification of the past 40 years of mainstream economics, but it wasn't enough to really matter to most people. It's gonna take a lot of work to turn the Democrats' economic policy from favoring Wall Street and Silicon Valley back to favoring ordinary, working people. It'll be an uphill fight, but more people are up for it now than ever before.
    124
  375. During the petrol shortages a few years ago Bill Bleach aka Simon Day put out a short video summarising the end of this one. ‘While you’re fighting each other, the Rich are skinning us alive’
    124
  376. Well done on 4 years. Keep going Gary, we are all with you as this mess of an economy has to change now
    123
  377. Love how Gary uses analogy that people who took debt shorted the money market. Love the final line, ‘but don’t worry because property prices always go up’ *except they don’t and if the population birth rate keeps falling we could have a situation with lots of empty houses and not enough buyers, right now it’s the opposite for in 20 years time it might be different causing the property market price crash. One of the only content makers I won’t leave my sofa to make a cup of tea for. Wisdom.
    123
  378. You have a remarkable level of insight. What you have said is something I have noticed but perhaps have not been able to articulate. I've been learning to look deeper for the WHY and HOW and not just WHAT is being said or done. This works for helping to understand people's behaviour and academic subject matter. I think your deductive reasoning skills is in part what made you a great trader, ironically, to the detriment of the industry you were part of. Keep inspiring us out there - the more people can share their wisdom in their area of expertise the more informed we can be. It's like I'm listening to a modern day blend of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. It is no surprise that qualities of the dark triad are found amongst the rich and powerful. Rather than trying to beat them at their own game, not playing seems to the best option.
    123
  379. Every single time the top rate of tax was dropped economic growth dropped afterwards.
    123
  380. I'm nearly 50. Of all the people I went to University and studied with, the ones who are 'proper rich' now come from 'proper rich' backgrounds. They arrived and left uni already rich. The ones who I would call 'rich' (definitely well off, but not aristo or anything, upper middle shall we say) inherited or got their first property bought and paid for them by bank of mum and dad. This is without exception. The ones who are 'comfortable', have worked hard and met partners who also work hard at their jobs (dual income necessary, even when having a family). I went to a top class Uni (not boasting, just giving you context). Gary is spot on and honest here. One more thing I would add - and I share this as a feminist but we're all into honesty here right? It's not just having a rich Dad that I see gives people the wealth they then have later in life: a lot of women 'marry' into wealth before they have a family. (I've had that option several times - didn't take it - no regrets, even though I still struggle to buy a house in London and could easily have opted for the 'marry into money' option ;)).
    122
  381. So the NHS paying private companies to build units and then paying to use them is just gping to make the NHS worse and worse. Selling the housing stock was the worst and privatising all assets, who was that? Oh yes Mrs T the Tory hero!!!!
    122
  382. I’m 38, I’m dyslexic,I don’t read, I failed at school but you make things clear and understandable for the standard chap. I brought your book just to show support (hard back) wasn’t expecting to read it. I read it cover to cover, great narrative and reads like a novel. Keep pushing buddy, you are a huge inspiration. I do art on the side and will try when I get chance to incorporate inequality into my work and send some people your way.
    122
  383. College student here, final year business. Ahhhhhhhhh reading the book and watching these videos have honestly educated me way more, than uni 😅haha !!! Between trying to break into finance in final year (hasn’t happened yet), to becoming financially aware these are fantastic resources. Thanks Gary !
    122
  384. These are great videos Gary, so educational and important. Keep shouting about the £700 Billion and the need for a Wealth Tax. Get on TV as much as you can with the "this is why the country is f***ed" message and enough people will listen eventually.
    121
  385. I think you should give a large number of copies of this book to libraries so that the people that are worst off can get a chance to read it and understand their plight. The submerged third are the least politically engaged section of the population. Come on Gary, put your money where it can have the most significant effect.
    121
  386. Never thought id watch 7hrs + bout economics in 12hrs but yet here I am.
    120
  387. My grandad had a saying which summed this up, "the devil always shits on the biggest pile"
    120
  388. Thanks Gary! Keep up with the videos!
    120
  389. Rory Stewart spoke very positively about the book a couple of weeks ago on the Rest is Politics podcast. Would love to hear Gary on a Leading episode!
    118
  390. Illuminating as always, Gary. You really are one in a million. Thank you so much for everything you're doing!
    118
  391. I understand his theory on taxing the rich..like he said, if the economy is growing at 1% but the rich are growing at 5%, where are they getting the extra 4% from... The middle and working class, by outbidding them on the price of assets. Some people used to say, stay on benefit, get your rent paid, if you haven't got anything, then they haven't got anything to take from you when you are older. The care home will be paid for by the government instead of selling your house. Ive seen this happen to people. I worked, bought my house, always tried to save but i became sick and rely on pip, now the government are threatening to take it away and I know I will have to sell my house to look after myself😢. The future is frightening 😢
    118
  392. No way!!! What a collaboration!!! I wish I could sit down with both of you lads. Jimmy’s ideological journey is very similar to mine and Gary is just a legend.
    116
  393. Gary, please please please write versions for secondary school ages. Not for people studying economics, but teens that are socially aware and are the future. I was blind to this until my 50s. Now I do my best to pass that onto my teenagers. But it would be amazing to have it coming direct from you, in a language and format they can understand. Probably a secondary channel to your social media. We MUST get the next generation primed, i think it will take that long to get the seeds planted and the established, broken narrative exposed and overturned. I'm getting one for me now though 😂
    116
  394. Watching from the US. For my fellow Americans finding the channel, the message applies to us as well. Really enjoy the content and perspective from an intelligent person younger than I who is delivering clear explanations of complex situations.
    115
  395. Female listener to Gary and Jimmy. Hopefully Reforms downfall will be their commitment to private health insurance rather than free at the point of service NHS. Excellent conversation.
    115
  396. This was hard to hear and I can see by the comments most do not want to accept that the thing that a lot of us (the financially aware) have been counting on is maybe not going to work as well we expect. I always feel a sense of urgency and anxiety after watching your videos but it's the clearest message I've ever heard on what we need to do to help society. To help everyone. Thanks for doing something with your platform Gary, hope you can stay strong as I imagine your recent appearances will invite more criticism as you go up against a bunch of people that don't want your message out there. Keep fighting.
    115
  397. Gary is so important. He came from nothing. He succeeded the rat race. Now he imparts humble knowledge and experience along with perspective, upon those of us who struggle, like he did growing up.
    115
  398. I stumbled across this by accident and it was very sobering to realise you described me to a T. I started trading with some initial success as I wanted to escape the debt I had accumulated just trying to support my family. Fast forward 24 months and I'm in the hole to the tune of 25k and it's near impossible to recover. People who can afford to live comfortably don't ever feel this pressure, betting shops are not full of rich people because they never feel that same sense of inadequacy a 'normal' person feels just trying to get by.
    114
  399. Why Gary is never on the News. Because he has the answers that government does not wish to hear.
    113
  400. Gary's analogy of accelerating wealth inequality with cancer is a vividly accurate description of the one way direction of 'unfettered' capitalism and corruption. All people need to start to understand this, in all political parties, it is simple and it is true.
    113
  401. Or doesn't flow, if you own almost nothing. Or flows away from you if you have to work for a living. Etc. Brilliant exposition.
    112
  402. GDP doesn't magically distribute high wages and good working conditions.
    112
  403. Thank you from Liverpool, I was at your water stones tour, I remember you saying all people wanted was some authenticity and you definitely have that. Thank you for everything you do Gary, enjoy your holiday in Japan.
    111
  404. I've been collecting and reading books about inequality since around 2014, but I am poor and have lived in public housing most of my life. No-one around me ever seems interested in engaging in these issues, and I guess because of my position in life not many people listen to what I have to say. Although I get a lot of personal satisfaction studying these issues, I feel like I have been investigating this stuff in a vacuum. It is so refreshing to hear this information coming from someone people might actually listen to. It's also been helpful to consolidate some of my own knowledge. You put things in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. When I saw you on that BBC panel I felt represented. Thank you.
    111
  405. @Gary What you are describing is in a nutshell what Noam Chomsky described with Manufacturing Consent and theory of propaganda and media. The people who get invited to talk on TV and to work at thinktanks only get hired there because they say what is ultimately benefitial to the people who own these companies and who benefits from the policies. If they were trying to say something different, like the rising crisis of inequality in the world, they simply wouldnt be invited onto the talk shows, or hired by the thinktanks. Its a self-propagating, self-correcting system. These people trully believe what they are saying because of the things you describe here: being out of touch, solidified academic thought etc. But if they did think and say somethign different, they wouldnt be elevated to the position to speak on the subject.
    111
  406. Great analysis Gary. You’re a true hero. Retired professor here been teaching about inequality for years. But you’ve got the economics chops to get through to people. We need a huge bottom up movement. One love!
    111
  407. As a business owner for over 20 years. It does not matter about bad luck, what matters is your response and preparation to black swan events. Even if it is like they say "bad luck" this is no excuse, it is a failure on their part to prepare and respond. The fact that this is common knowledge to anyone who has an ounce of business acumen, like themselves is a thread that needs to be pulled and is not being done by the media. If they did, they would quickly find that THEY ARE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE TO LINE THIER OWN POCKETS!!! Follow the money trail and you have all the proof you need!! The conflicts of interest are all there in black and white!
    111
  408. ‘No austerity’ is the headline today. The gaslighting is off the charts.
    110
  409. You're a legend and give me faith that there are good people out there fighting the good fight. Genuinely inspiring mate
    110
  410. Fair play to the guy, he is telling you he is wealthy in a system designed to protect the rich, yet unlike most he has exposed the system and given remedy that clearly is a disadvantage to him. We could do with a lot more unselfish people like Gary, well done young man 👏
    110
  411. It's a kleptocracy 🗽
    110
  412. Hi, back in 2020 during covid i saw a comedy bit from George Carlin called “you have no rights”, i felt pretty bad watching it because from a very young age i always had the feeling that politicians are just serving their own interest and watching that bit kinda confirmed my ideas. Shortly after I bumped into one of your videos on youtube and because i had nothing better to do during lockdown i started studying how economics and geopolitics works. I then started to ask myself the right questions, those that you suggest, like not looking at how the economy of the country is going on paper but how the living standards are going, my family my friends ecc. So i found out that anything you say is real and it’s kind of scary. I apologize if I Made some mistakes writing this comment but i’m an italian guy from italy so my english is not perfect. I just wanted to say thank you because watching your videos has helped me focus on what is important in economics and not just fighting mindlessly against one another just because someone votes for a different party. Cheers mate, from italy👊🏻
    110
  413. Keep banging the drum Gary
    109
  414. Excellent book and an important message. Especially don't miss Gary reading the audiobook.
    109
  415. Gary is spot on. Wake up people.
    109
  416. You've done a great job, try to switch off, recharge, and enjoy your well deserved time in Japan. Looking forward to your return and this next phase of the channel. Take it easy!
    109
  417. I've just seen a snippet of a telegraph article saying how ISAs are failing to encourage low income people to save - you know all that cash we've got sloshing around 🤦🏼‍♀️. I'm guessing they haven't read your book!
    108
  418. Amazing… This channel has gone from 70k to 176k in like a month or two. Crazy amounts of work from you gary! Congratulations 🥂
    108
  419. There’s another aspect to this Gary, which I am sure you have mentioned before, if you are wealthy the economy isn’t looking too bad, investments are growing and you’re getting wealthier. The economy looks very different from down here… add to that the reality that our culture perpetuates the lie that poverty is the fault of the poor & how will these patterns ever be interrupted?
    108
  420. At 37 years old, I am only just beginning to even want to understand economics. The stress was always too much for my autistic mind to process. Thank you, Gary. You make it much easier to process & I'm looking into how to educate myself more on the matter in the hopes of securing a better future for my daughter. I urge everybody reading this to like, sub, and share all of Gary's videos. This man can help save the country from the crisis that the super rich are and have been causing for a long time. ❤
    106
  421. I work at the Royal London and if I see you I must buy you a pint in the tavern. Keep up the incredible work.
    106
  422. As a Uber driver I listen to you video's while taking passengers so we can wake the masses up.
    106
  423. I started out in engineering. Ended up working for banks before I started making real money. Just wrong.
    106
  424. I grew up in a latin american big city, and I lived for 6 years in a small town in the north west of England. I cannot emphasise enough how spot on your description is, and how much of a penny-drop moment it was to hear you crystallise with words what I've been seeing for so many years. You are a brilliant economist and better communicator, let's get your voice heard! One thing I would add is, what happens to essential services once there's no more rich people around? What happens to the quality of hospitals, doctors, schools, water infrastructure, etc.
    105
  425. Well said as always....tax the mega-rich or face disaster.
    105
  426. How refreshing it is to listen to a man speaking about our economic difficulties who is both decent and fair.
    105
  427. Wow Gary - your message is as clear as ever but you're really making it stronger and more poignant. Keep up the good work - we're all with you.
    104
  428. Gary Stevenson did for Economics what Galileo did for our understanding of Gravity. He looked at the text books and said "They are wrong!". Galileo was (and still is) correct and so is Gary!
    104
  429. Hi Gary, I only discovered your channel a couple of days ago after seeing you on PoliticsJoe. I have been catching up on your videos since. I really appreciate your no-nonsense, easy-to-understand style, knowing it comes from experience. Many of us watching your videos can relate what you are saying directly to our own lives (I know that because I am seeing the thumbs-up button going mad as I write this). You are making me think of wealth, tax and politics in a new light.
    103
  430. A movie would be great. Get the folks who made The Big Short involved, that sort of style really works for an economics movie. Margin Call was good also.
    103
  431. Exactly. This system perpetuates poverty and expands it. My parents gave us money to add to our deposit so we could buy our 1st home 25 years ago. Thankfully it's now paid off. I'm currently putting extra money into super as I'm 55 and divorced so I lost a lot of super. Hopefully I can help my kids in the future. Live within your means and have a budget. If you get money say from an inheritance see a financial advisor so it's invested wisely.
    102
  432. People like him should be nominated for the Nobel prize of economics. Appreciate the intensity and critical thinking.
    102
  433. This channel just gets better and better. Gary you should be a compulsory subject on the national curriculum. Just brilliant. Thank you and I wish you well.
    101
  434. As a 39 year Physics teacher with very little to show for my 16 years of hard work, thanks for sharing your expertise Gaz. Wish there were more like you
    101
  435. When you see a complete media plurality like we did with Corbyn it should be a signal to you he's the right person to shake things up. I won't be excited about another polition in this country until I see the media go into full unhinged, lunatic mode again. That's the sign change could come. Respect from one Gary to another. We're a dying breed we gotta look out for each other.
    101
  436. Love Gary and all the work he does to inform everyone. Tax the super wealthy and change life for everyone.
    101
  437. That was terrifying. We need 'The people's School of Economics'.
    101
  438. Easily one of the most important channels in media right now
    100
  439. 2 years into consuming like 30-40 hours of this kind of content a week and I'm finally starting to intuitively comprehend things as they are explained. Thanks for your work, man! We're gonna change the world. It's coming Workers of the world unite
    99
  440. This might just be the best video you've ever made. It really breaks it down in a very easy to understand way. Please make more videos like this one.
    99
  441. I liked this one Gary. I am an ex professor myself. I would go further and say that the brutality of academic life (in your case, memorization of algebra) creates a personal "sacrifice story" that works to justify their privilege and understand the results of said privilege as the results of work and pain. Same goes for the parents who "gift" the house deposits to their kids and blow up house prices. They understand inequality as the righteous and proper result of what they see as their personal graft and forbearance. Keep plugging away here.
    98
  442. I love these videos, completely honest and clearly explained. We need to get this message out and get people listening. The younger generation need to wake up and get a bit angry about all of this, they are the ones to make the change.
    97
  443. Crazy how after you hear Gary's simple explanations of economic concepts, the inequality effect is immediately identifiable. Unlocked
    96
  444. If Starmer fails the UK will swing to the right. Starmer says all the right things..." More cash for the NHS" "Smash illegal UK entry" " Turbo charge the economy" but the reality is well presented managed stagnation.
    96
  445. Even if they stopped all immigrants the whole system is going to start falling over when people who have been renting all their lives start needing to retire. There is no way the future pensions are going to be able to continue paying the private rents that they have paid when they were working. I don't know what the solution is but you can see the problem coming, it's only a matter of time. The super rich are also worried that people might start following the example of the guy that shot the CEO the other week.
    96
  446. "I know it's not popular to be political, but if you are a student of history, you see what happens to poor people when they are not political" <<< this is everything
    95
  447. Gary mate, you are a force for good and could inspire many people to help bring about the changes we need to the economy and to society. I think you should create a simple effective slogan centred around Inequality that resonates and you can then repeat ad nauseum to get through to the vast majority of people. See how "Get Brexit Done" or "Tough on Crime" worked (even though both were utter BS!). Keep up the vids mate, got yourself out there....change will come (hopefully in time!)
    95
  448. Gary, I’m going to continue to spread your message for the future of my son. I’m a HCA for the NHS and I’m going to do my very best to hold on to my mortgaged house for him!
    94
  449. 2 legends. 2 terrible jumpers.
    94
  450. This content raises the stakes. It makes me doubt rich people, it makes me doubt every content that can be bought. In short: it makes me vigilant and significantly more worried. But the best about it is: it's very believable and I don't want to miss it ever. Good work. ❤
    94
  451. In America, the regular person is tapped out financially and mentally. High debt, private equity running health care and shrinkflation are daily concerns. Price gouging has been terrible. Gas increased .15 yesterday after 9 months at a stable price. Threat of tariffs are the latest excuse for raising prices. It's just like you said, Gary. The MM economists' only contact with working people is their housekeeper.
    94
  452. "Start grabbing at people's wealth" in otherwords cristo feels he hasn't actually earned his wealth so therefore he takes it as a personal attack, meanwhile not understanding how he's running defence for people who see him as just another poor like everyone else, the middle class really think they're safe don't they ? Great stuff as usual Gary, love catching up on all this older content
    94
  453. I'm finishing my undergraduate degree in politics philosophy and economics this year and I literally cannot agree more. One of the modules I took this year which wasn't one of the main ones, I picked it based on its title "economics of inequality" and God help me, it is the biggest load of bollocks I've ever had to study in my life. For my coursework, we were given a large dataset, around 400,000 individuals had data collected on income number of people in the house hold, number of children, race, education etc etc. And this data was collected over multiple years from 1970's to 2005 We were asked to write a report on the breakdown of inequality within the us with this data set, but there was no information on wealth or assets in the slightest. Instead, we had to write about how families with higher number of children usually earned less and had less disposable income, or that single parent households had less income. Thats not breaking down inequality! Give me data on wealth, and I'll show you how wealth has accumulated in fewer and fewer hands over the last few decades, and a large driver of economics inequality. But instead, we are asked to use theoretical models to explain why we might be seeing the things shown in the data, never looking for causes, just describing whats in front of you. I can't wait to finish my degree so I can get the fuck out of economics
    94
  454. The more passionate and assertive rhetoric towards the end of this video was nice to see, it’s what I’d like to see more of in your videos Gary!
    94
  455. FTSE all time high…..food bank usage all time high….we’re all blaming Johnnie foreigner. They have played us for fools
    93
  456. Speaking the truth even after winning the financial game, you legend.
    93
  457. Thank you Gary I hope more people will listen to you
    93
  458. This is the most informative and educational of your videos (to me) so far. It pulled a lot of individual strands that I thought I understood and showed how they relate to each other. I am a wiser man this morning. Thank you and God help UK.
    92
  459. American viewer here too. I only recently found you, even though I followed several economists. Please keep up the good fight. The better you are, the more the haters will come for you. You are not ahead of your time; you are the man for our time. This is the start of something big. Give us a chance to catch up. We are with you!
    92
  460. Hope you get to 1M this month. Well deserved!
    91
  461. Gary you the man, a man with morals, empathy and love. Woolfy smith said POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Let’s go 💪
    91
  462. This really resonated with me as someone who also grew up poor and am now surrounded by millionaires at work (in tech). Thank you for changing my perspective on things I see around me and my role in society. I would love get involved in movement.
    91
  463. Gary! You should really talk to Steven from the diary of the ceo, you could really reach more people on his podcast!!
    91
  464. People who talk against you are not capitalist but probably crony capitalism/ supporting oligarchs.... You are such a gifted teacher! Keep up the good work of educating common man!
    91
  465. Just received it about 30 mins ago.. Thanks Gary.. I don't watch MSM or buy papers or mags but found you here on YT. As I mentioned on X, remember those of us 60+ who are also in the same position of you lovely younger ones. 🥰
    90
  466. I never comment on YouTube videos. Here goes. Its not often you get to see true vulnerability. I'm watching a person who can see two futures. One of these futures scares him and he knows in his soul that something has to be done. Change is coming, I genuinely hope it can be a positive change for the many. Gary, I really appreciate your videos. It enables me to better understand the machinations of how the world around me has changed. My favourite line from this video is. There are two types of jobs, One where you can't eat, one where you can't sleep. Keep doing what your doing.
    90
  467. I just came back to the UK from Italy where the economy is not exactly doing well atm and the worstening state of the UK in the time I've been away is shocking
    90
  468. Clicked on this fully expecting for it to be a clickbait title, and was dismayed to learn that it's not. It's evident in Gary's body language and tone that this is a delicate subject matter. Although a burdensome theme, the storytelling aspect of it was exceptional. "What do you think? What would you do?". A grounding mantra, almost rhetorical -- begging a question of morality. Gary's insight points to a top-down moral bankruptcy that's taking us all towards grave consequences. Nobody (rich or poor) is exempt from the karmic scales of the universe. Thank you, Gary, for doing everything in your power to reach us with this message. Keep up the tremendous work!
    90
  469. Awesome - welcome back! Your bang on critique of the current political shambles has been sorely missed!
    90
  470. I'm watching this a year later. It is not prophecy, it is now fact. The bravery you show from walking away from your former life to this is outstanding. It's not like Liz Truss could even exist with you in a debate. Now she's cuddling up to Steve Bannon....
    89
  471. Gary, you are 100% correct, but people forget the most single important thing in life is your health.....l am double your age, lost a brother through ill health in his late 20's....no amount of bank balance would change that fact. We currently live in a wealthy village in Surrey, but we are in a very small house. My wife used to say to me how come this person or that person have big houses or expensive cars... l said most of them have had a massive leg up financially in life, either help with there business or house.... & the majority of the time this is the case. Unfortunately nowadays the youth want quick wealth & that very rarely happens👍❤.
    89
  472. Have a fantastic holiday mate! Thank you for everything you do
    89
  473. Absolutely spot on analysis. If Gary started a political party with his ideas I would join in a heartbeat. His messdage needs to get into main stream media.
    89
  474. I got shivers when you thanked Waterstones stores for their window displays. Many people doing what they can to get the word out. The revolution has started. Thank you Gary 🙌🙏🙏
    88
  475. Been listening to Gary for about a year. 71 year Irish woman living in Scotland. I so get the message. Proselytising in fact, have recommend everyone to buy it and listen to the central message. Makes me feel a bit hopeful. Already downloaded and onto second chapter. Congratulations Gary, brilliant and essential.
    88
  476. I have to hold my hands up and apologise. Used to think this guy was suspect and just another narcisist, but clearly his heart is in the right place and wants to inform and educate. Thanks Gary.
    88
  477. Hahaha your last line the was killer blow 😂 I come from a corporate background working within the big4 as an auditor and have had a very similar background to you where you were raised in a working class set up! It’s music to the ears when you articulate yourself so well on the correlation between debt/money and it’s true ownership…and your doing a great job shedding light on it as most ordinary folks are selling their souls to the devil without actually realising that devil couldn’t give two shits if one defaulted on their repayments..
    88
  478. "Poverty is the problem." I wish this insight was not constantly and repeatedly forgotten (or perhaps wantingly ignored) by our politicians and economists...
    88
  479. The difference between you as a millionaire and many other millionaires is that it was not given to you on a silver plate. You started from the beginning and made it all by yourself and you can see the two sides of the coin. You recognise, that this other, richer side of the coin is an isolated, selfsish, self-protecting group of people, filled with nepotism rather than meritocracy, who protect their wealth at the expene of "ordinary", hard-working people. But what is best in what what you are doing is that having seen both sides you find the reason to go out and make "ordinary" people aware of this process. RESPECT TO YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU ARE A GOOD MAN!
    88
  480. Gary, I am happy to stand by your side on this endeavor to support equality. Here in the USA; we are struggling….whilst walking my dog, I’ve seen people on the streets, make shift tents of people living below an underpass of a freeway, people in bushes are found dead or dying of exposure from 120 degree heat, scratching their skin off of their body and face or even passed out with needles still stuck in their arms and the hopelessness is unbearable. Humanity has been dealing with what I call: ‘MSS’ (master and servant syndrome) for ages now…all the way back to kings, queens and peasants or surfs with lords…nothing has changed, it’s now just called business with CEO’s, REIT’s, private equity, corporations and the like…shielded by financial products, bought and paid for politicians and tax havens; the behavior continues…year after year and it’s disgusting. 😞
    88
  481. Hi Gary, take care of your mental health. Enjoy your holiday and come back swinging. There will be some people who stumble upon your videos and their eyes will be opened. Please keep going
    88
  482. It’s a bit rich being accused of “politics of envy “ by those who are happy to spread the politics of resentment. Keep spreading the word Gary
    87
  483. Inequality is by design. There are those who force it. Have a great trip Gaz, and get yourself some feet up time.
    86
  484. Great video! There is an additional angle for economists in the media that wasn't discussed: They operate within organisations that are driven by engagement. If an article in the Guardian predicts a house price crash it's guaranteed to generate a hell of a lot more clicks than a nuanced analysis about the cost of living. From the point of view of the media organisation as a business, the former prediction is more profitable and since the news cycle is so fast I doubt they care what they wrote about last week let alone two years ago (unless it results in a court case). So in a way it's worse than merely being allowed to be wrong, you arguably have perverse incentives in the media to make incorrect calls because they generate more revenue.
    86
  485. At 12:58 "The way you win this game, is not to play the game"__ Gary Stevenson Congratulations, Gary on publishing your new paperback: The Trading Game. Gettinng my copy now!
    86
  486. We need our politicians to be like you Gary, honest and clear thinking.
    86
  487. Just found you in last few months . A total antidote to what's happening in the world, heartfelt thanks.
    85
  488. So pleased you're back! I find your explanations easy to understand. Even if they're depressing, it's better to have an idea of what we're facing. Thank you
    85
  489. Afternoon Gary, You touch upon a much broader issue in higher (and indeed further) education. I lectured for years in Music and Performing Arts. We had to perpetuate a reassuring myth too: that there is a reasonably good chance that anyone studying those subjects is in with a reasonable likelihood of becoming a professional performer. There are many thousands of people graduating each year from colleges (forget universities) in Performing Arts. The likelihood of them even finding a vacancy - let alone landing a paid job - is absolutely miniscule (practically zero). I worked for years in professional theatre (so knew this to be a fact) but was always being bollocked for pointing this out to colleagues. Loads of lecturers have never even set foot on a professional stage (so how the hell can they claim to be authorities on performance?!). Further and higher education in the UK relies, to a large extent, for its longevity, on academically generated rainbows for their students to chase.
    85
  490. Thanks Gary. It is harder than ever for working class kids to go to university, but the more that do the better the chance of changing things for the better. In my day we had grants for fees and Iiving expenses. No debt. 43 years of Thatcherism, New Labour and since 2010 Thatcherism on steroids had stuffed up the chances of so many with the resulting damage to society overall.
    85
  491. Thank you for the gift of your knowledge and wisdom that you so generously share. Thank you for speaking the truth to the people in power who need to hear it. Thank you for your compassion toward the less fortunate. Merry Christmas 🎄
    85
  492. I pray Gary’s content doesn’t get removed/silenced ❤️best financial educator on the net
    85
  493. Thank you Gary…a brilliant insight into the gross dysfunctionality of economics’ education. This is just what I was seeking for my understanding base. Between you, Richard Murphy, Steve Keen and others I’m now clear how broken our economics is. Together with a broken voting system which serves up broken politics. A ‘bit of a pickle’ is a massive understatement! 😟
    84
  494. I did economics at a very good Russell group uni 25 years ago. It was very mathematical, which i enjoyed, and got good grades etc, but did graduate thinking that i was still barely able to talk about the topical economic talking points of the day in the real world. Another key assumption of ours was that each person in the model was a "rational individual". By this it was meant that they were aiming to maximise each situation to satisfy themselves. Ideas of philanthropy, sharing and general kindness weren't considered. This was at the height of the neo liberal era, so no idea if the modelling is more sophisticated now, but always found that frustrating.
    83
  495. This is brilliant. The world needs someone like you! 👌🏾👊🏾
    83
  496. I am so happy that you spread the information and hopefully enough people will see the light so we can initiate change🙏❤️🇩🇰
    83
  497. I love the acknowledgment that community brings ‘wealth’ of a different kind but equally as valuable. It is sadly lacking in so many areas.
    82
  498. This channel falls under the category of “one of the best parts of the internet”
    82
  499. Its great to see you back Gary. Everyday folks need people like you who help them to understand with truthful honesty and integrity what is really happening with governments and how they manipulate the economy to add to the abundance of those who already have a plenty.
    82
  500. Saw your book in a bookstore window, front and center! Congrats, Gary!!! 👍
    82
  501. Gary, your channel is creating awareness and educating a lot of viewers. The information you provide is what I feel should be part of the school curriculum. Keep doing what you are doing and never underestimate the power of the platform you have. Bless you.
    82
  502. I am an over 50 female viewer in the USA. You work is getting out. I share your videos all the time. Keep up the work Gary and Jimmy. Stay strong 💪🏼 and keep the good work.
    81
  503. I love how Gary just calmly sips his tea…. Waiting to eviscerate his opponents 😂❤
    81
  504. Im ashamed to say i was sixty years old , and had bought three family homes before i understood compound interest . It wasnt until someone suggested Equity Release for my retirement , which sounds like a great idea . Thankfully i didnt do it . I now realise its just a quicker way for weathy companies to get their hands on our property . Please Gary , talk to us about Equity Release and save peoples inheritance .
    81
  505. You've done it again Gary! Brilliant explanation! I Never believed i would be interested or able to understand this corrupt countries economic system! Thank you 👌
    81
  506. Bought the book in the first week of release, read it in 3 days, GREAT . . . you need to talk to the Green Party as they have a wealth tax as policy
    81
  507. A key factor often overlooked is that over 25% of new homes are being acquired by investors, rather than individuals seeking primary residences. Even if Baby Boomers decide to offload their properties or more housing stock enters the market, it won't alleviate the underlying issue. Wealthy investors will continue to absorb the available inventory, which will keep home prices elevated.
    80
  508. "What incentive would people have to be wealthy". I don't understand this logic, in that case, why should ordinary workers work? They aren't going to be wealthy by that logic so it's in their interest NOT to work then. The host is a clown.
    80
  509. Incredible we are getting real impactful news from individuals on YouTube and not the 'news' but thank goodness
    80
  510. I get a lot out of your videos. You're a college-level professor who breaks things down in a way that I can understand. You're a well-spoken analyst who makes these concepts clearer. And I appreciate your message - I fight wherever I can!!
    80
  511. here here Gary. Smart kind man you are. Keep talking.
    80
  512. This really clearly explains the systemic problem Gary, thank you!!
    80
  513. The middle class has been complicit in its own demise since the 1980s. We continue to see the increasingly horendous results. Thank You for your post. Concise and to the point. Cheers from America.
    80
  514. Gary, i love that you say things like the Tony Benn quote from Tony Benn and 'if we don't fight this fight, the situation will get worse and worse'. We live in a world where these Political views are represented in government, what exactly do we do. This isnt a criticism, its a cry for help
    79
  515. This was excellent. My Mother in her 80’s is so critical of her youngest daughter for ‘not saving enough’ like ‘her generation did’ to get on the property ladder.
    79
  516. Love this guy. It's like E17 have reinvented themselves into financial advice experts 😎
    79
  517. Thank you so very much for what you do. I watch your channel with my 26 year old son, who will be trying to get a mortgage this year. It teaches him, and me, about how things really are and why. We are poor as I am a single parent to him, and he has grown up without as a result of the situation. Thank you again, what you are doing is extremely important 🙏 👏 Wishing all the best for 2025 🥂
    78
  518. Thank you for educating and pushing for change Gary. Ignorance is slavery to someone else's agenda but you are liberating millions of us. Sending my support from Texas.
    78
  519. One point that is worth making in addendum to Gary’s class. If ordinary people don’t have assets, wealth or security if things go wrong, they cannot afford to be entrepreneurial. You need to be able to risk in order to innovate
    78
  520. This was so good I've been super depressed lately with everything I am a support worker and see a lot of difficulties. You two give me faith that things can get better.
    78
  521. Keep up awakening people
    78
  522. Wasn’t even aware there were exemptions for stamp duty. Reading the long list it’s not surprising how wealthy people can save money. Just boggles my mind that ordinary people aren’t even aware they’re being fleeced.
    78
  523. My 12 year old son is a big fan of yours. Thank you so much for all you're doing.
    77
  524. I have a background in applied Physics and this is so extremely similar to other problems. People follow the models and get a sort of tunnel vision. After a while they totally forget the fundamental building blocks and fundamental questions. I have seen this gone wrong so strong with FEM/BEM simulations. Where garbage in = garbage out. Entire PhD papers are written on just one assumption. Sometimes that assumption is poorly supported and proven. I think it's extremely important to take a step back once in a while. Look at it with a helicopter view and be very critical about all the variables.
    77
  525. Gary. Love these vids. Consider putting them across podcast services. As they’re monologues they would be perfect as an audio only podcast. Plus, loads of people don’t YouTube - especially the older generation.
    77
  526. Thanks for such a good explanation on why Anti Immigration is promoted so fiercely. I'm in Liverpool and daughter of an economic refugee; a very hard working , tax paying man. My parish is full of asylum seekers and immigrant families. We've joined Citizens UK and Hope to do what you recommend. We are from broadbased communities and work together for positive change.
    77
  527. Cambridge and Oxford have got their history by sand banking the creation of other universities in UK. Other universities have made massive gains in educational development and are on par or greater than Oxbridge....globally. I went to a "Top 10" Business school University in The UK in 1997 and I proposed to my 2 marketing lecturers that I would like to do an essay on "the growth of commerce on the internet..and that retail shopping will shift more to internet shopping"...the 2 lecturers scoffed at the idea of retail shopping increasing on the internet. In my heart I was saddened by this arrogance, and sighed. I did the essay though. This was in 1997. I should've moved to Silicon Valley.
    77
  528. This man and his message needs a bigger platform, we need to start holding our government accountable and start moving in the direction of wealth equality before societal collapse goes too far
    76
  529. Thank you for constantly repeating your message. I hear you loud and clear.
    76
  530. Spot on, mate. You've earned my sub right here. "they want us to hate each other". So true!
    76
  531. A mate who I used to live with (in a house his father bought for him) once suggested I invest in property. It told me everything about how those from wealthy backgrounds don't even realise how ludicrous the situation is for average people. My mate is a really nice guy btw, he said it in good faith, but that the fact he said it at all was the issue. Telling me to invest in property while I'm paying rent to him. Unreal. Thanks for getting the message out there.
    76
  532. The videos you do are great. I like your analysis on inequality.
    75
  533. Finally a take on economy from the standpoint of working and dispossessed people. Thank you for creating this content
    75
  534. I really admire Gary's congruence and honesty. He does not avoid issues that also apply to him - like his choice to go big after graduation. That's integrity.
    75
  535. "What should I do to get rich?" ... discover what your strengths and natural gifts are, and then exploit those. "Will I make money trading FX" ... No. I said that to somebody very recently. The caveat is that it may be one of your natural gifts, but that is unlikely. Gary, I like your blunt and straight-forward approach. Thanks
    75
  536. Keep doing what you're doing, shining a light on government failures, the more people learn the better decisions we can make. 👍
    74
  537. When Gary's book first came out, Rory Stewart said it was an [amazing] story. This week he said rich people take their money abroad so we need to tax medium and low income earners more. He learnt nothing. :( I'd like to see Gary talk to him. Source: The Rest is Politics "The Worst Politician Of The Year & Dad-Dancing Populists" Time: &t=1880s
    74
  538. Keep up the good work Gary. The message is getting out there. New Statesman video and article. ”The UK tax system is a con.” Need to tax wealth!
    74
  539. Great video, fingers crossed the wealthy start getting taxed more. I’m in Australia and we really needs to tax the rich and pretty much everyone digging up our resources better. We’re failing massively at it here.
    74
  540. Gary, keep the faith, you're obviously passionate about stopping inequality and we do currently need alternative leaders to create this change so the more followers you get, the more you can lead thus do whatever you need to do to reach more people. Don't worry about your own finances or fame, ordinary people don't mind you making money or getting recognition as you're trying to do good with the money you've made and the recognition you're getting. Patreon gives you the opportunity to obtain some wealthy sponsors for the channel. At the end of the day, you've got to do what you believe in with honesty, integrity, perseverance, compassion and belief. I appreciate your efforts - you've educated me about this country's grossly unequal economy and I thank you for that. 💪
    74
  541. This one hit hard. You captured a huge systemic problem so brilliantly. I complained to my 1st year undergrad economics (not my main subject) lecturer in his office that the majority of what we were doing was just algebraic equations, with very little about how economics actually works. I was hoping to provide useful feedback and expecting reassurance of some kind. Bizzarely, he who was normally an extremely flamboyant character, cowered and started apologising on behalf of economics at great length for about 10 minutes, almost like grovelling. At the time it was utterly surreal to me but now I get it!
    74
  542. Thank you for speaking up for a lot who don’t have the opportunity to.👏
    73
  543. Gary, all I can say is you are the man. 100% spot on with all points. I’m sharing this far and wide. TAKE BACK OUR WEALTH!
    73
  544. Thanks for really hitting it home Gary, I tell people but apathy on the subject is fierce, "You're an alarmist" 2Stop talking about polotics" "That can't be right" is all I hear. No one want's to hear sense anymore....but it doesn't mean we give up shouting from the roofs. Keep it up mate, we're with you.
    73
  545. Personable as always. You're on the cusp of something Gary, I can feel it. Why change? If you tell the truth always you don't have to remember anything
    73
  546. I bought my brother your book for Christmas and he loved it. I am currently reading the ragged trousered philanthropists, which seems so relevant. I share your videos and support the cause, always crystal clear analysis.
    73
  547. Doing gods work. Please run for Prime Minister at some point!
    73
  548. U are really, really smart. To put this in such a simple words, while obviously not simply reading from a script is incredible. I have suspected such a thing for a while, but you just gave me the proof of why it is like that. Thanks! Keep being yourself man
    73
  549. Gary Stevenson, the voice of reason yet again. I have tried to deliver your message to people I know, family, friends, colleauges who have bought into this vicious circle of hatred and contempt brought on by our noble mainstream media, and it is truly disheartening to hear almost every response begin with "...but, what about" - (*proceeds to argue and regurgitate the same Reform buzz words and statements*). I'm in my mid twenties and a hopeful outlook for the future of this country is not something that many of my generation possess, or have ever had. However, your efforts are greatly appreciated and does bring inspiration and a belief that change is possible, so, thank you.
    72
  550. Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground 🎶
    72
  551. Great video. I do think a major problem is the lack of understanding of economics among the general public, as so few study this topic during their education. This means that economic experts are able to bamboozle their audience with jargon. Reminds me of the priestly class during medieval times who where able to do the same when talking about religious matters as they were the only ones who read Latin and had access to sacred texts. We need a reformation in economics so ordinary people are able to make a contribution.
    72
  552. am 51 and you have just reminded me of the good old days. My parents loved us. There was 4 of us and we would all wait at the window for our mam to come home from potato picking , she would be so tired and her back was broken with bending alday, she did this every year to make sure all her children had an incredible Christmas and we did…you can’t buy the true love from your parents..
    72
  553. From a personal experience obtaining a Masters degree I had to sing from the same hymn sheet. Who funds the Universities? Who gains? Who cares?
    72
  554. studying economics at university is frustrating, the advanced algebra is frustrating and most of it does not link to real life situation due to absurd assumptions. Even the diagrams are not as useful due to stupid assumptions eg considering two economies, closed economies. To understand economics we should look at real life evidence and make our own diagrams without unrealistic assumptions that dont hold in real life
    72
  555. Genuinely, it’s a global pandemic and I would love you to think bigger and out of the box 🇿🇦
    71
  556. Gary, this was a powerful and moving talk. I think the emotional problems you described, after your initial success, stem from what psychologists call moral injury, which is what happens when people are forced to do things that compromise their ethics. You suffered moral injury in your work as a banker/trader, observing the extreme levels of inequity, and your mental health reflected the seriousness of that injury. It’s a credit to your integrity that were able to deal with it, in the way that you have, turning it into such a powerful teaching tool, for others. Your parents should be proud of you.
    71
  557. Gary, I thoroughly enjoy your content and it has been excellent to see you popping up on other channels including with Piers Morgan, after reading through the various comments on these other videos it was quite reassuring to see your message is gathering momentum and reaching more and more of an audience, including our cousins across the pond. Thank you and everyone else who are getting the message out there.
    70
  558. 16:10 this absolutely nails the issue facing working class kids. Middle class kids can afford to make mistakes, working class kids cant. They can do things for yeas earning no money to get certain openings and opportunities, working class kids can't. It's why certain industries are totally full of middle classes - particularly media.
    70
  559. Some will hate you and call you a communist, (as some kind of muddle-headed slur), but I suspect the majority will love you for your diagnoses and your remedies. God knows, we need someone to fight our corner.
    70
  560. I got 4-5 ads whilst watching this video and every one was an ad for Forex trading or ‘investing’. Shows just how blunt (or shameless, depending on what you think) the programming of the algorithm on social media platforms is.
    70
  561. I never comment on YT videos but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the work you are doing here. This is yet another beautifully put together argument that eloquently cuts to the heart of issues that are so often mired in deliberate obfuscation. Keep up the great work and let's hope your voice and others like it can find traction in these worrying times. Thanks legend.
    70
  562. We chase wealth because we are subconsciously chasing security not wealth. But at the end of the day security cannot be bought with any amount of money and so therefore embracing a life's purpose (working altruistically for the benefit of society) fortitude (combating insecurity) and happiness (contentment and appreciation for what you do have) should be some of the key primary goals in life.
    70
  563. The economist, Professor Joseph Stiglitz, actually agrees with everything you have said here Gary .... Thank You for all your hard work... Keep Going, we NEED you...
    70
  564. Spot on about inequalty. Starmer will do nothing, lib dems wont. Most people are depressed, not excited. My portillo moment would be streeting losing his seat to an independent which is pretty bad for someone who has supported labour since i first voted in the 70s.
    70
  565. It's strange as YouTube places ads at the end of your videos. I'm happy to watch them fully then the channel gets some revenue to support in a small way. We all know likes, shares and comments helps in the algorithms so having someone explaining this will surely help grow the channel
    70
  566. Gary, I've discovered your work in the last month and I have to say that it is transforming my understanding of economics and the world at large. I'm currently listening to your book because I've just recently become a father and it's hard to find the time to sit down and read these days. I think that ultimately that's been even better than reading it because you're the one reading the book, which has made it much more impactful and endearing, you deliver the book with a palpable passion and insight. You have a way with words and communication, my friend. You're truly a gifted orator. Keep up the good fight, stay safe, stay healthy, take care of yourself, please. The world needs what you have to share more than ever, and you're emerging at exactly the right moment with the right message. From Canada, with love and respect.
    69
  567. I’m glad you’re making these videos, I have a better understanding of why I’m so pissed off now. Sometimes the truth hurts but you still need to hear it.
    69
  568. Thank you for the economic education!
    69
  569. Wish I had found you earlier Gary! More people need to understand this. Keep up the amazing work. 👏 I’m probably going to share this… A LOT!
    69
  570. 2 years on and you are 1000% correct
    69
  571. I did economics to PHD level and was always very frustrated. (Thankfully after getting the PHD, I eventually left the profession.) The problem is they don't ask basic questions. The only thing economists are worried about is how can something be explained by the standard model. But this model itself is pure fiction. No one asks questions whether it is really correct, and what justification is there for using it. What about things that are unquantifiable or not usefully modelled? Almost always these are the most important things. Basically it is an extraordinary lack of intellectual curiosity. Fred Lee sums it up for me: "The methodological underpinning of neoclassical microeconomics is open to criticisms. The methodological approach of neoclassical economics is based on a pre-vision of supply and demand and/or a Walrasian general equilibrium all combined with scarcity and constrained maximization. Accepting this vision as a matter of faith, neoclassical economists construct axiomatic-based arguments via a deductivist methodology (with or without the use of mathematics) to articulate this pre-vision. There is no attempt to establish that the pre-vision has any connection to or is grounded in the actual capitalist economy it purports to explain. Hence the method of constructing theory is not tied to or informed by the real world, which means that the axioms qua assumptions used are not chosen because of their realism or some other way grounded in reality but solely because they contribute to articulating the pre-vision. Therefore with a methodology unconcerned with the real world, the theories derived therefrom​ are theoretically vacuous and hence not really explanations. They are in fact non-knowledge. Consequently,​ the methodology of neoclassical economics is not just wrong, it is also misleading in that it cannot inherently provide any understanding of how the real works or even predict outcomes in the real world." https://larspsyll.wordpress.com/2022/01/28/fred-lee-on-non-knowledge-mainstream-economics/
    68
  572. Welcome back, looking forward to seeing this grow
    68
  573. Always look forward to these, to the point where I know they come out at exactly 9am on a Sunday 😂
    68
  574. Thank you so much for these insights Gary. My parents are in the U.K. and I’m very concerned about if they will be able to survive retirement. I am saving all I can so they will have a safety net
    68
  575. Gary dont take the weight of the world on your shoulders that way lies madness .You do good work in helping everyday people understand how we are being shafted,thats enough for anyone.
    67
  576. Capitalism only serves money not people. Capitalism only works if people have money. My lesson for today, cheers Gary.
    67
  577. There's no shortage of millionaires willing to go on TV and tell us how lucky we are to get our half a loaf mate never apologise for your success your integrity shines through. I have seen people talking about inequality and mention the figures from your videos, the message is getting out there. Can't wait for the book and what comes next
    67
  578. Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about explaining everything
    67
  579. The metaphor of the oxygen being sucked out of the room while the government asks the people in the room to breath less is probably the most powerful image you have used to describe the problem.
    67
  580. Thank you so much for what you do, the information you share, and how you educate others
    67
  581. Ironically the ads in this video are for match betting.
    67
  582. I imagine Simran behind the camera thinking “damn I need to stop filing Gary and start filming virtual tours of mega yachts or super expensive houses “
    67
  583. A Straight Up, Simple Explanation of how it works Gary. We can All understand it put this way. Many Many Thanks 👌💋
    66
  584. I'm So Fortunate my son 'spread the word' & recommend your chanel to me. Now, I am recommending to others. Thank you Gary
    66
  585. That was the best Sunday morning sermon, Gary. That ‘wealth’ you made as a trader has turned into genuine wealth and made you the philosopher and preacher that we all need in these times. Be well and pedal strongly.
    66
  586. Thank you so much for helping at least a whole Generation. Youre that, what schools should be.
    66
  587. The way you paint a picture is just perfect. Direct but loaded with info. This is where I come to learn the real message! You can see things from both sides of the spectrum which gives you a perfect ability to say how it is. You don't hide your luck, but you capitalized on it. Continue to create and thrive! Respect!
    65
  588. This is one of those things on my "if EVERYONE knew and internalized this, the world would change overnight" list. VERY crisply explained, Gary. Thanks!
    65
  589. I really respect your honesty and integrity. More voices like yours need to be heard in this space. Cheers man.
    65
  590. I’m really glad I’m listening to Gary before he becomes one of the most influential voices in our society. Nice one mate - keep it going 👍
    65
  591. Your dad sounds like a hero man. He instilled some sound values in you!
    65
  592. It has been a long time indeed since a Youtube video could hold my attention for an hour. What a fantastic conversation. What is utterly compelling is not just the intelligence of both of you, but more than that - the honesty and genuine concern that comes out for other people who are struggling in a system that is rigged against them.
    65
  593. WEALTH TAXES NOW. Significant redistribution is needed. Ordinary people need to have more money in their pockets, then we can act as the driver of our prosperity as a nation. We need to eat the rich in order to save ourselves, it's that serious. Yes of course I'm speaking metaphorically.
    65
  594. Now this is some valuable information. Thank you for not selling us a dream and telling us the reality of it all. Keep doing what you do and merry Christmas ✌️
    64
  595. How do you keep your cool? I’m not sure I could. Keep it up Gary!
    64
  596. We need Gary as PM or Chancellor with a PM that listens. I am sick of popularist politics wrecking all our lives just to support the billionaire class. I am sick of those who fall for the Trumpian/Farage kind of divisive crap and I am sick of this labour party who have alswo jumped into the billionaires pockets.
    64
  597. In a word Privatisation... Gary you've a great way of explaining massive subjects very eloquently and clearly 🙂keep up the great work.
    64
  598. So wish Gary got a position on Question Time where he could challenge our politicians who could do with an economics lesson.
    63
  599. A nice and simple explanation. Shame that the UK Government does not want to tax wealth fairly instead of caning income.
    63
  600. I'm a data analyst with a background in comp sci. I'd love to do an economics course which has models that better represent reality and what we care about - like inequality- and uses the computing power we have now to model what's happening
    63
  601. I love how open and honest you are
    63
  602. Could not agree more Gary. Im in the medical field and the amount of nonsense that is sprouted in the media about this sector is insane. It scares me because clearly I wont recognise the nonsense sprouted in other fields!
    62
  603. Gary, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this content and for making it accessible to people like me who are not experts in the field.
    62
  604. Keep going bruv. Just like your words will keep reaching more ears, like they reached me just now, the united voice will become louder. Thanks for all!
    62
  605. There many, many voices saying what the problem is. But you're the first I've heard saying "... And this is what I'm going to do about it." I'm 100% here for it.
    61
  606. Clear and concise Gary, you’ve made basic economics and inequality easy for me to understand. Thank you!
    61
  607. I've watch all of your content Gary, this is the best one yet. Yes we can!
    61
  608. Shout out from Burnley, we also have a stupid accent.
    61
  609. Keep fighting the good fight. Peace from USA 🇺🇸
    61
  610. Gary thank you for speaking the truth and accepting no BS! I think you are are amazing. I hope you continue to get opportunities like this to pose the difficult questions to politicians. ♥️♥️
    61
  611. Just came from your Inside Edition interview. I had a mental breakdown in 2019 during my Bachelor of Finance because I was having the same experience you discussed of seeing what is happening and everyone saying yes we see it but not understanding what they were saying. The relief I'm feeling right now is unspeakable. Finding another person with the same goal and reference point.
    60
  612. Really enjoying your content Gary from Australia, your analysis is spot on. "Home ownership data from the 2021 Census show a home ownership rate of 67%, down from 70% in 2006. While the home ownership rate remained around 67–70% from the early 1970's, the rate for different age groups has varied markedly over this time".
    60
  613. Gary was so good on the show. Good dig at Annabelle which was good to see.
    60
  614. It’s sad to see that even the rich developed countries are becoming more and more like Brazil, where I’m from, the most unequal country in the world. And It’s all due to politics, also because politicians are the ultimate “assets” of the super-rich. Your channel is great, keep it up! 👊🏼
    60
  615. I don't think in my life time I had ever heard economics and the economy explained so clearly.
    60
  616. Great lesson Gary. Keep it up.
    60
  617. If you feel disconnected from us, some creators do a premiere where they engage in live chat while it airs. Or you can post as normal and then hang around answering questions for the first 30-60mins once a video has been posted

  618. Gary this hit so hard. I also grew up in poverty albeit in a less deprived part of the country. I actually did manage to get into Cambridge! Luckily my mum managed to do a council house swap to a 3 bed so I no longer needed to share a room with my two brothers. Most people I know are from a more middle class background so it's honestly hard to discuss the experience of having grown up in those conditions. Even now I'm doing a PhD and am mega skint but everyone else around me can be bailed out by family. Still having experienced having no money growing up, in a weird way I don't worry too much about the economy since all I've known is being skint lmao.

  619. Have a great vacation, it is well earned. Thank you for sharing with us all.
    60
  620. Could tell it was going to be a pessimistic video when I saw no plate of biscuits on the table.
    59
  621. Kudos for listening to your conscience, leaving your well-paid as a trader and speaking for the poor and the ordinary, Gary! 👏
    59
  622. Never done a Patreon before, but I just signed up and gifted my friend 12 months as well. Many thanks for what you do.
    59
  623. I heard Gates and Buffet say effectively the same thing a few years back, following the 2008 crisis. But this is a better, more detailed explanation. Good work mate.
    59
  624. I see the economy as a game of monopoly. 1 player owns 53% of the board and is lending money to the other players to perpetuate the game. Gradually that 1 player is increasing the % of the board they own. The rich/poor divide is only going to get bigger, because the system is rigged to make that happen. Time we started talking about congratulating the winners of this game and play another game where the economy rewards hard work and not just those who know how to rig the system.
    59
  625. Born in a council house……..university educated (despite opposition!)…….WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU………..Gary please don’t stop.
    59
  626. Heard you on The " Moral" Maze last night. Thank you for pushing the truth about the obscene and worsening inequality. It must be so frustrating to face such disgusting attempts to equate the morality of poor and not so poor people struggling to provide for their families ,with the immorality of greedy billionaires who have the power to twist the rules to serve themselves alone.
    59
  627. First time viewer impressed with how switched on this young man is. I think he’s hitting all the right notes to build the widest possible coalition. Respect
    58
  628. Damn, considering this video was recorded in June, the mention of immigration is eerily prescient.
    58
  629. They already have our media- they have owned it for years………It’s happening now - what do we do about it?
    58
  630. i grew up in relative poverty, with two parents who have schizophrenia in Australia, raised by my grandparents. Lots of my friends had it worse than I did. Now I'm a doctor, and my community remains entrenched in poverty, no matter which government is in power because the issue runs deeper than that.
    57
  631. Thank you Gary, for continuing to expose the truth, and keeping us informed!!
    57
  632. I'm in my 50s and I've never understood economics properly - or even wanted to - in these two videos you've changed all that. You put so much space and repetition into your explanations that you plant the ideas firmly in my brain. Thank you so much and I can't wait to view more.
    57
  633. Hello Gary 👋🏽 I’m a teacher and it’s so difficult. Our wages have decreased by more than other workers in the public sector and our workload keeps increasing 😔
    57
  634. We NEED people like you two SO SO Badly. Pushing the message of positive change.
    56
  635. I have never left a comment before on any YouTube. Gary makes so much sense to me I had to voice my support. It's a mad world.
    56
  636. good edit love the new style. Background music is a bit high
    56
  637. Amazing speech Gary. I’m from Hong Kong and after 2008 we have experienced exactly the inequality you are communicating in this channel, ranking the most expensive asset market in the world for many years. It was after a society uprising (which ended badly with authoritarian crackdown) and the pandemic that we finally see a drop in housing prices. But the cost is immense and heartbreaking. I agree ignorance is the driving force for evil, and I really appreciate your advocacy. Please take good rest and continue to inspire and enlighten us when you are better!
    56
  638. Gary thanks for explaining in an easy-to-understand way the UK's economic position.
    56
  639. Reading your book currently, great fun. The part where you mention your paper round brought back memories to me - i did the same thing 364 days a year, every morning, and remember making a mistake with 1 of the Sunday papers (those were huge fcukers!) and being penalised the £2 a day pay i earn for that 1 mistake! My Mum, bless her, gave me the £2 as she didnt feel it right that i be punished especially for 1 error when everything else was delivered fine. I never made a mistake after that, not because i wanted to lose myself or the shop money, but because i didnt want my Mum to lose money on me. She always bet on me and i am so grateful for that! Thanks Gary.
    56
  640. Merry Christmas mate. You've been doing a cracking job, I've been sharing your channel and tried to spread the message to those who'll listen. Fingers crossed for an even bigger year for you next year. Keep going.
    56
  641. As a student of International Relations at a ‘prestigious’ UK university, your point about choosing between knowledge and ‘networking’, or ‘saying the right thing’ on exams really resonates! Thanks for all the work you do! 🤘
    56
  642. I have been struggling for years to find an economics perspective that rings true. Yours is it Gary. Thank you so much.
    56
  643. Gary's so good, he even compounds his tea mugs
    56
  644. I love the spoken word poetry in your speech, ironically delivered to those majority ‘rich kids’ from Eton now going to Cambridge. Very emotive. The rich will never care for the poor unless made to do so. What does that mean? We need a revolution.
    56
  645. Don't usually make YouTube comments, but this was an extraordinary talk. As someone who only recently has started to notice the state of the current economy, this isn't talked about enough. Thank you for speaking about it and as long as you continue to do so more people will realise and start to care. Thank you Gary.
    56
  646. Gary Stevenson for Chancellor of the Exchequer! An economist that understands the system and wants to serve the interests of working people!
    55
  647. The "not believing in cancer" analogy was the 🤯 moment for me in this video. Extraordinary as always Gary, hoping the views and exposure are steadily climbing for you and the Team. Let's all keep fighting!!
    55
  648. Just a small comment of support, a drop in the bucket so to speak, but still...with enough drops...
    55
  649. As long as there are those who seek to profit from the misery of others there will be harsh criticism of what you do, Gary. I know that ignoring them is not an option but the number of people supporting and spreading your message is growing. Enjoy your vacation; you deserve it.
    54
  650. Read this years ago but sums up so many things that Gary is telling us. A Banker, a right wing guy and a migrant sit at a table with 12 biscuits. The Banker takes 11 of the biscuits then says to the right wing guy- ' you need to keep an eye on that migrant he is after your biscuit.' Gary is doing a brilliant job helping us understand how the system is rigged.
    54
  651. My dad gave me and my sister copies of a book called Blood In The Streets, the only time he ever asked us to read something. When I finally got around to it after several years it sent chills up my spine because it pointed towards a frightful future that happens to match exactly what we’re going through just as you are describing it. The book was from the 80s and written from the point of view of successful market speculators. It’s a very dry read as a result but they clearly were operating at a level of knowledge that most of us are completely disconnected from.
    53
  652. You’re quite literally the only economist I’ve ever heard that makes actual sense about the state of affairs in this country and how it really works behind the scenes. Just got the book yesterday too btw after seeing your interview with James O’Brien. Keep up the good work.
    53
  653. The only way to guarantee being rich is to be born rich
    53
  654. It’s always annoyed me the the worst paid pay the most interest. So say I wanted to buy a car and it’s £25000 I pay back maybe £32k but if a rich person buys it, they just pay £25k back. Same with houses and even small stuff like insurance. I pay monthly so costs more. This makes it harder for ordinary ppl to get out of a cycle of debt. Everything is more expensive the less you earn. Madness Great video again Gary I enjoy listening to you and I’m looking forward to the book
    53
  655. There's a lot of bullshitters out there but let me tell you something: Gary Stevenson is not one of them. Keep going G. I'm a South London guy that was born in 1987 in Clapham. I saw interest rates in 2008 rise so high that it bankrupted my family and made us homeless. I was still in Uni while this economic system rendered my entire family homeless. It was then that I learned a harsh lesson about the rich. It's THEIR money or YOUR life.
    53
  656. Gary’s message is like an island of hope in a sea of doom. We need to get this message out there that things can be done differently ✊🏻
    53
  657. “I don’t believe ignorance is bliss. I think that there is a profound strength and dignity that comes working hard to understand the situation you are in even if it is bad”
    53
  658. "In an unequal society, your only options are to be poor or separated from humanity". Outstanding quote.
    53
  659. "we will have to be gentle with ourselves, with each other and with each other's financial position" - lovely words, Gary
    52
  660. Have an amazing break Gary, truly well deserved. We can see the frustration in you in the video and it's a tough watch, but look at how far this message and this channel has come since it started. As more people join and more people understand, our voice will get louder and louder and we will challenge the status quote and we will win. Because we have to. Keep fighting and keep doing the hard work you're doing. Much love to all the team 💪🏼👊🏼❤
    52
  661. If you, like me, have found economics baffling Gary explains the subject clearly and simply. I wish I'd discovered his videos years ago but it's never too late.
    52
  662. There would be less crime with wealth equality.
    51
  663. Full respect to your parents for bringing you up the to be who you are. You done good and fair play to you but your underlying message is so so important. We need to redress this balance and tip in favour of the poorest. Keep up the good work.
    51
  664. Share this everywhere
    51
  665. i don't watch or read any news, but ever so often I let Gary educate me about what's really going on from his kitchen. Thanks Gary!
    50
  666. What you do, is exactly what YOU, Gary are doing. Real Talk. Mad Respect from right down here in New Zealand. Yep, YOUR message is spreading. As far as it can go. We CAN do something. We do HAVE to.
    50
  667. I'm waiting 6 months to see a neurologist. For £350 I can see the same guy within 48 hours. Simple. Thank you Gary excellent explanation.
    50
  668. Thanks for doing this Gary. I saw the interview and it was great to hear the ordinary persons point of view put forward well. I’ve been sharing your videos and talking about them to friends and family and they’ve had a good reception (except for one retired government economist-guess that’s not too much of a surprise, but I’m still working with her). Love your idea for follow up videos. Can’t wait to hear “where’s the money gone” chanted on the terraces! Please keep your message simple and don’t get distracted. Thanks again.
    50
  669. Thank you so much for all you do! Writing from the USA, and trying to keep hope alive that we can survive our current circumstances in one piece. I think economic resistance is a clear path forward Subscribed for life! Thanks again.
    50
  670. You are totally right. Most people are not told the career path of what to do to get what you want. The rich are guided through. But a difference between UK and USA in careers is: if you tell your American boss you want to be successful like them, they like that; if you tell an English boss the same, they won't hire you as they see you as a threat.
    50
  671. Fantastic guest.. thanks for another great video. I love that you are both talking from perspective of coming from “ordinary backgrounds”.. and that you still manage to acknowledge that wealthy people are human… it’s just that we’re all locked in our roles..like what’s happening is just inevitable.. but it’s not! More videos please. I’d like one a day in an ideal world!! Keep working Gary!! But seriously.. these conversations are vital..and appreciate them a lot!
    50
  672. Thanks for the great consistent content this year very interesting
    50
  673. It's like a teacher gives a big bag of sweets to a classroom of kids and tells them to divide it amongst themselves. One of the kids thinks he's exceptional and superior to the rest who he looks down on, so he decides that he'll divide the bag up: he gives all the other kids half a sweet each - and takes the rest for himself! The parents of the kids given so little would be up in arms! Yet that's what millionaires and billionaires are effectively doing all the time- and the rest of us like docile idiots accept it!
    50
  674. This should have millions of views because it is unbelievable what is happening right in front of our eyes. Gary makes it extremely easy to understand. Terrifying and depressing on a need to know basis, though!
    49
  675. you are clearly getting better at comunicating this stuff! making it less about you and your story helps, you are at your best when you are in "humble mode", a lot more engaging & likeable! bringing in new ways of framing the current situation is a great strategy to keep us engaged and it is helping us have a richer set of talking points when we debate our "economically conservative" friends and family
    49
  676. Another great but sobering video, we are in total support, keep pushing the message. Thanks Gary
    49
  677. I just picked up the book on Amazon to listen to on my way to and from work. Please keep pushing your message. We need a reasonable voice to counter the "you vs. your neighbor" narrative.
    49
  678. Thank you Gary. Merry Christmas to everyone, May your wildest dreams come true. May the presents you receive, Be gifts of happiness for you. Happy Xmas to one and all, May your loved ones feel the wonder. May your thoughts be pure and true, And your troubles, torn asunder. May your charity heal the vulnerable, May your kindness salve the bruised. May this season be all you wished for, Hope and joy to your family and you!
    49
  679. Very well explained, Gary; thank you.
    48
  680. Truss’s plan is another short term distraction just to say “we have done something“: 1. The money appears to help all families but, as pointed out by Gary, will trickle to the oil & energy share holders (ie the rich) 2. Focus on production in oil and shale gas production — creates greater amount of pollution esp in poorer communities (where they will drill) for a limited resources. If they had focus on renewable energy and insulation, the money will be funding to create factories,innovation (ie more jobs) and improve energy efficiency and reduce wastage due to poor heat insulation.
    48
  681. Out of sight, out of mind. Thanks for the video Gary. I watch every week and you are teaching us "normal" people a lot.
    48
  682. Gary - your accessible explainers are so helpful in understanding our predicament. Keep going ✊🏾
    48
  683. Top quality content . Totally on board with your mission to narrow the gap of inequality and demystify wealth versus income, and through such clear and informative videos. So glad I found you in the Guardian this week and look forward to watching more.
    48
  684. Always remember to click on like whether you watch the full video or not- Gary needs to be at the top of YouTube
    48
  685. Rarely have I heard such a succinct and and flawless analysis of our current situation. Please keep up the excellent work.
    48
  686. He, and other billionaires also want the deregulation that alt right parties offer. Thanks for being you, and a voice of reason, compassion, and enlightenment.
    48
  687. I’m a first year economics student and you give me hope that I can make some change in the world and have a positive influence despite how dogmatic the degree is.
    47
  688. Annabel sounds like she doesn't even believe what she's saying... And she's basically saying "just stop being poor”. I bet she believes the American private healthcare system is a good and fair institution.
    47
  689. Still with you 👍 and thank you for your persistence. Enjoy your break
    47
  690. All the best Gary! I am sure the message in your book will be a massive hit! That is the way to enhance the publicity and embarrass the ultra-rich who run the country.
    47
  691. It was hilarious, they though ex-trader ment you were as blindfolded and morally bankrupt as them. Thank you for proving them wrong on their own platform.
    47
  692. You are a top man Gary. Keep fighting the good fight
    47
  693. Legend. Completely exposed the IEA. Love it!
    47
  694. This lady is director of communications at the Institute of Economic Affairs, wow, just wow - I'm speechless!
    47
  695. Old person here: thank you for coming back to help those "on the back of the train track". You're dad would be proud.
    47
  696. Legend
    47
  697. The education is more valuable than school . If only people open there ears and listen . That's why you were given 2 ears and 1 mouth . Brilliant advice. . Paul Dublin Ireland
    46
  698. This is a great message, part 2 of the wealth inequality discussion. Not only do we have to demand that our politicians take action NOW, to reverse wealth inequality, but as Gary says, we have to push back and ignore the online boasting of having wads of cash and flash cars. If we all work together, we can all share in the benefit. If we work individually, the more likely we won't change the system and will become poorer ✊
    46
  699. Nigel has a much louder voice and a much bigger platform than he should have - it's amazing what dirty money will buy you...
    46
  700. Welcome back my favorite economist! (I literally don't like any other economist)
    46
  701. Gary-this story,that you tell about playing the games by powerful people with their goal to achieve more wealth and power and this fact,that it is in the interest of rich and powerful for ordinary people to hate each other because then they will not unite-all that is universally true-not only in UK,but in Germany,Poland,France etc.Divide and rule is always true.Thanks for the words of wisdom.You are a good man!
    46
  702. Great video. Helps explain that we need to tax that money back.
    46
  703. I finished Gary's book last week and it what struck me was the building realisation of a stacked system. I left it at our local Tesco in charity book pile (and i highlighted key sections when reading it ) and its gone - hopefully, someone else will realise what is going on.
    46
  704. Hello 👋🏽 Gary. I really like your educational videos. Coming from a science background I don’t know much about economics at all but am learning from your videos. Hope you have an amazing week 😊
    45
  705. An uphill struggle Gary, I've got working class friends who don't believe in capital gains tax, because 'tax was already paid before the asset was bought'. And don't seem to care about the unearned profit made, even though they are paying tax on their earned income!!!
    45
  706. Albert Einstein said, “The most powerful force in the Universe is compound interest.” Thanks for another great video!
    45
  707. Thank you, Gary. Since watching your plog, I now understand everything you have been saying. Since reading about a wife of a former BP Executive who donated £100,000 to Ms Truss's campaign, so No windfall tax. The government is not looking out for the public.
    45
  708. Hello Gary. I’ve bought your book and am half way through it. It’s so interesting - I’m really enjoying it. Hope you have a great holiday 😊
    45
  709. Gary is a massive inspiration. Calm in explanation and totally honest in his delivery.
    45
  710. Fantastic video, Gary! One thing which gets lost is these types of discussions is humanising how many years it would take/accumulate a million, a billion or a trillion €. We tend to lost sight of these large scales of numbers, and believe that we might have an equal chance to make those huge numbers (not even a lottery win if we want to win a billion, which a miniscule of people possess, yet can control decisions for pretty much the whole world).
    45
  711. I loved that none of them dared interrupt Gary. They know the facts speak loud and clear. Top job!
    45
  712. Great work Gary as always. Your ability to simplify a complex situation with accurate data is fantastic and the message needs to continue to spread far and wide 👍🏻
    45
  713. This is so important. As a middle-aged (45) white man on the minimum wage and with nothing, I'm sick of the media not being able to tell the difference (or IMHO probably deliberately obscuring the difference) between two very different propositions: "Most of the rich are older, white males." and "Most older, white males are rich." The first isn't that far from the truth while the second is nonsense. Even for those my age who have achieved a comfortable living (e.g. perhaps they own their own house), that's what we aspire to for young people too, not a problem we're facing. I saw a cartoon where a rich person with a pile of cookies was telling a white worker with one cookie to watch out for an immigrant with none, because the immigrant "wants to take your cookie"- a very old tactic but effective. But, as you seem to be saying, these days they also turn round (whie holding their great pile of cookies) to the immigrant/young person/woman/ other disadvantaged group and say, "Look! Why should they have a cookie and not you? They're the reason you don't have a cookie." That one is new this last 10 years IMO. It's all with the same goal, of course: keep us fighting each other. Anything will do: men and women, white and non-whie, Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Muslim, young and old, North and South... even racists and a certain kind of anti-racists (I'm not equating these morally before I get shredded, just pointing out how the elites use both groups). They've used all of these and more over the years.
    44
  714. I remember when this channel was still under 10k. Amazing work on growing the channel and spreading the message Gary, good work!!!
    44
  715. Thank you Gary for your informative and motivational speak and reminder. Do not hate. 57 year old in Norway.
    44
  716. I've known all this for a long time, I've preached about it but my words almost always fall on deaf ears. Hearing him break it down in such simple terms if so comforting. SHARE this! The largest problem we have is ignorance.
    44
  717. Your videos have really made a positive difference in my life and my understanding of income, debt and wealth and I just can’t thank you enough for making this content. We need more superheroes like you out there 🙏❤️.
    44
  718. The Trading Game - a deserving bestseller. Keep up the great work!
    44
  719. Probably the best explanation of our current situation I’ve heard to date. Ignorance is bliss for alot of people but to be enlightened is powerfull.
    43
  720. Another great video explaining things clearly and concisely. Thank you, Gary.
    43
  721. Nice video. Now do one on billionaires. A lot of people think they just put a lot of time in the office. But in reality they are hoarding assets. Not cash.
    43
  722. You are not just a smart in your field of expertise Gary, you are also extremly emotionally intelligent. I totally love who you are. The great package of authenticity, smart head and emotioanlly intelligent AND totally charming. You are nobody's fool, you can self reflect and make some very smart gutsy decissions. YOU go, keep doing what you believe in. I somewhat stumbeled across your youtube channel a while ago. I cannot recall how, but thanks God I have.
    43
  723. If there’s anyone on YouTube who deserves to make long content it’s you Gary you have so much value to add please don’t hesitate to make longer content tbh I would prefer you to make longer content so I can learn more…. There’s a gap in the market. Your the man to fill that.
    43
  724. Your voice is so important. You talk to people directly and in clear language about what’s going on and it’s sadly so very rare. Especially in your field. Thanks for the work you do. 🙏🏻
    43
  725. The problem is those in the middle who are financially ok and don't want to rock the boat.
    42
  726. You’re doing great work. Keep it up. Supporting you from Australia where the playbook is identical. As an economist and a conservative, it still astounds me that politicians and the media machine get away with this crony capitalism. Sadly, most people don’t want to hear about it. I share your final comment too.
    42
  727. Working people need to come together and take the fight too them. Stop arguing over the issue or the 'others' that they're trying to pitt us against.
    42
  728. Totally agree that inequality is the issue and that the rich need to pay taxes, and that divide and conquer is the standard strategy - But we also need to be able to have conversations about immigration without instantly labelling each other as "far-right" or "lib-tard" we need to be able to listen to each other.
    42
  729. Excellent video. If democracy really exists then politicians need to act quickly.
    42
  730. Big message here, the game is rigged, i wish people weren't so hard on themselves and think their success or failure is due to purely personal responsibility! The economy is rigged, people need to come together and spread this message, hold the government to account. Thanks Gary! - a young man 👌🏾
    42
  731. I get goosebumps every time I listen to you. If you, having such an exposure to how corrupt and greed stricken we are as humans, can be depressed, imagine how I feel, living in one of the world’s poorest nations. You’ve giving me a new perspective on the meaning of life itself. I’m grateful
    42
  732. I worked in the gym at Warwick university and realised at 21 years old that the top students in UK get jobs at top firms on good money before they even graduated. Think everyone should know that before GCSE.
    42
  733. Thank you for not giving up
    41
  734. Please keep going Gary…so important. For me the starting point is (and has been for 45 years) to change voting to a proportional one. Not a panacea…but a door-opener to so much.
    41
  735. 5:00, I have experienced the duplicitous nature of wealthy people, who are, from the very beginning, playing a character to manipulate the subject. It's psychological manipulation and a form of abuse, especially when you try to cash the proverbial cheques they've been writing you, and suddenly they turn on you. It's a playbook they learn at prep school or wherever. It's also scarily effective. Asking yourself "Who are they? What do they want?" is essential to getting out from under the tactics these people perpetuate.
    41
  736. Thank you Gary..enjoy November...I hear you and I hope millions more will; the alternative is unthinkable
    41
  737. Gary is back! 💯
    41
  738. Thank you so much Gary. You really spoke to us with this one. The flowers are beautiful and well deserved, dear man 💐💝
    41
  739. An absolute breath of fresh air. You are a rarity in this world, and especially the financial world. Not only have you been on an incredible journey, you are now sharing the brutal knowledge you have learned with honesty and clarity. Only a handful of people really do this. A pioneering voice that stands out among the bullshit noise of youtube "financial advisors". For honest advice, you sit alongside Buffet and Munger in my book.
    41
  740. Gary, I just wanted to encourage you with all that you're doing. I can see that this is a long slog, you're doing great things with your reach, don't get down hearted! Simply do what you can with what you have, and when all is said and done you can look back and be proud in all that you have helped achieve.... Keep up the fight mate, we're all beside you, cheering you on!
    40
  741. YES Gary! We need someone speaking truth on the financials and the state of the top! Good to see you back. Happy Christmas. :)
    40
  742. My favourite part of Sunday morning. Thank you, Gary. Your video landing makes my day. I love excellence. People who are right.... who see the way, while the rest of us struggle blindly in the dark. Keep shining your visionary light, good man 🎉

  743. You're a good man, Gary Stevenson.
    40
  744. Finished your book in 2 days, loved it. Keep up the great work.

  745. The politicians don’t need to speak to the people in business, because they already know that the people in businesses are only interested in getting richer.

  746. magnificent Gary. thank you. people who can't afford to buy the book, request your local library get it for you. you pay for your library and the more you use it the harder for your council to close it. THEY want to close your library because they do not want you to be too well educated. Jimmy Reid, the great man of the people, took all he could from his school education and became a legend of the working class by using libraries to become an even more intelligent man than the supposed educated upper class. He orated, send the management of the shipyards on a year long world cruise on one of the ships we build. when they return we will still be building ships. Send the shipbuilders on a year long world cruise and the management will build nothing! wake up because time is running out for good, honest people.
    39
  747. Thank you so much Gary for continuing to expose the truth.
    39
  748. Welcome back, Gary, and thank you for your message. Although it's depressing as hell, fore-warned is fore-armed. I can see what you're saying coming true, and I've felt inequality and extremism has been growing since 2001, and accelerated in the UK since 2016. The problem is, something drastic has to happen to reverse these trends, as the political establishment aren't going to change course, no matter who is in power. Public school boys have a vested interest in keeping themselves and their cronies happy. The recent political upheavals and the policies being drawn up just show you how little they care about the electorate. I don't know what it's going to take to turn things around; the last time inequality and extremism were reduced (at least in the UK) was after World War II when more social policies were introduced and living standards began to increase.
    39
  749. Great explanation Gary . You have exposed what is really going on .
    39
  750. So much good stuff this week Gary. Im going to share this one and start talking about this. 1% is a great start. No one in their right mind can see that the super rich cant afford that. And yes the two main parties are so frustrating in their messaging Keep up the good work. Enjoy your holliday x
    39
  751. Garry, should we be solidifying some kind of movement for tackling these massive, destructive innequalities? Neither of the main political forces in the country seem to even remotely acknowledge these issues, and so many of us are seeing the price of that slowly engulf all of us. We really need something to cause a breakthrough here.
    39
  752. How absolutely darn refreshing, educational, and hopeful this was! Keep going, amazing work!
    39
  753. Massive respect Gary from Greenwich
    39
  754. So well put, I work in tax policy and its so hard sometimes to convey this message as succinctly as you have. Thanks!
    39
  755. Totally agree. I feel it happening all around me. I know my elderly relatives will end up using every penny from the sale of their homes when they have to move into care homes. My three children all went or are at university (I told them not to!). My first daughter has two degrees and masses of student debt. She earns minimum wage and lives with five others in a rented shared house. She can't even qualify for a small car loan. My son looks like he will have masses of debt and not even good grades to show for it. My second daughter went to university locally and reduced her debt by not renting accommodation and works hard to achieve good grades. I don't know how any of them will achieve buying even a small home in the future. I just try to help in the middle and can't even bear to think about the impact of grandchildren in the future. When I drive home from work, I see these massive apartment blocks owned by corporations charging £2,000 per month to live in a studio pod. It won't be long before people are living in cage homes/coffin homes like they do in Asia.
    39
  756. Wow, why can’t we have more people like you Gary in the world. Everything you say is true, very well said and very understandable.
    39
  757. The Elite Rich own the government. Nothing will change in this system. Gary is a Hero of Humanity. Gary has my UTMOST RESPECT.
    39
  758. I’ve been listening to you to since 2022. You’re reaching people that I wouldn’t have expected in my own life and they resonate with your message and directness Gary.
    39
  759. Let's fix the world!!! ❤
    38
  760. Very strong Gary. Powerful, convincing, on the edge of deeply tragic insight as the collapse intensifies. Bravo.
    38
  761. Thanks for the content Gary, it's great to hear your message is filtering through slowly but surely, and as your channel grows that message will get louder and louder. Have a good holiday mate. Fair play about being upfront with regards to donations and funding, I'm certain you'll get plenty of support for the good you're doing.
    38
  762. I cannot get enough of Gary Stevenson's economics, I wish he was Chancellor! The wrong people are running the country: they support the billionaires - as if they need supporting, the amount of money they already have(!) - and shaft the poor.
    38
  763. Thank you for your honesty. There are a lot of people playing on people's fear and vulnerability right now. Investing is being advertised (massively right now) as a quick way to get out of a crisis when it isn't. Your videos are giving me a much needed education.
    38
  764. Love your explanations, very precise. Another great video Gary 👌
    38
  765. I'm rooting for you Gary. I have been constantly frustrated by the continous lack of decent media covering the fundamental issues with our society. Our media seems to love to throw out continuous negativity and misses the target. I think your channel will do really well, and could become something that has a serious impact on british politics.
    37
  766. I listen to your videos one thing is alarmingly clear - we no longer have politicians, or very few. We have business people who arexworking for themselves rather than the voters. Isn't it time to redefine 'polititions' and call them out for what they are
    37
  767. In 1 day of watching like 10 of Gary's videos, he is now my top financial communicator out there. No one says it clearer, more actionably, and non-biasedly. The real deal, with the best solution
    37
  768. As a lifelong Dickens fan I never thought we would see those days of utter destitution amongst the “lower orders “ ever again - but just wander around our town & city centres & you’ll see it everywhere. The only way we can stop ourselves & our children from descending into that abyss is by acting together. The only power the workers & non-wealthy have is in our numbers ✊🏼
    37
  769. Greetings from Spain! This inequality issue seems to be affecting the entire Western world. The real challenge, though, is figuring out how to deal with wealthy individuals moving to countries with lower taxes. If they leave, they end up paying no taxes at all in their home country. I find it difficult to wrap my head around this dilemma.
    37
  770. Critical thought is critical. This channel is so important for society
    37
  771. This is arguably your best video yet, Gary! Thank you! My question is: how do we fight that fight? Step 1 is awareness so we share this content far and wide. The next step? How do we get them to tax the rich more if we don’t have politicians to vote for who would do it? How do we put the pressure previous generations did?
    37
  772. There are some important nuances to consider here. When comparing individual wealth growth (+5%) to economic growth (+1% for the UK, +3% for the US), we need to account for inflation. Typically, individual investment returns are not inflation-adjusted, while GDP growth figures are. For example, if inflation is 3%, then the US economy’s real GDP growth at +3% actually translates to a nominal growth of around +6%. Meanwhile, the individual's +5% return is still nominal, so actually economy did grow faster in this case. Of course the individual wealth growth depends on investment assets and could be more. Additionally, investment returns and overall economic growth do not always correlate. There have been cases in the US where stock markets performed well despite weak GDP growth and vice versa. That said, your broader point remains valid—it's becoming increasingly difficult for the average person to afford property and maintain a comfortable life. Rising asset prices and stagnating wages are making it harder for the middle class to build wealth, further widening inequality.
    37
  773. Gary, love your unique story of becoming a trader and that because of your background you felt you couldn't just carry on doing it or retire quietly! Hats off to you, it must be almost unique for a successful city trader to speak out against the situation, to fight against the system rather than just ride the gravy train as far as you can. When I 've listened to you recently what it's made me realise is how few people in current positions of politic and financial power have sound money/economic knowledge and/or are from a more working class family, there is literally no one with the credentials to put a case forward, with your financial security and passionate altruistic stance, you do and I wish you all the best.
    37
  774. Gary truly is the people's economist!
    37
  775. 100% agree with you the more you educate the masses the more understanding of what you are trying to achieve and the impact you have.
    37
  776. Great videos! Let’s keep spreading the message!
    37
  777. More explanatory videos are very welcome - a lot of this debate is inaccessible without this sort of foundational knowledge. Great work as always Gary & team.
    37
  778. That was the most interesting interview I’ve seen in ages, I went straight over to Gary’s Economics channel and subscribed - thank you.
    37
  779. I remember asking a prominent right wing Labour MP about a wealth tax and he went 'ohh don't know about that how would it work. No, no I' m a practical man... ' yada yada. So, not just government but the turds in charge of the Labour Party don't want us to know! Top work Gary✊
    37
  780. This was brilliant such a good speaker, clear and concise. If only more people with your background got lucky and found themselves in positions that mattered in our economy.
    37
  781. I was at this talk. It was one of the only times my wife and i left our baby at home since he was born!
    37
  782. I really appreciate the communication skill here. If he were using terms like Proletariat and Bourgeoisie I think a lot of people would immediately tune out. By talking about Ordinary Families and Rich People instead, this is an argument my liberal boomer parents might be inclined to listen to.
    37
  783. Hi I criticised you previously for your misunderstanding of energy markets, but I do think your economic analysis is spot on and has changed fundamentally the way I think about the economy so thank you. Looking forward to more videos.
    37
  784. I came here, after seeing your interview on Insider. Appreciate the explanation.
    36
  785. Hi Gary, here is a snippet of positivity for you to notch up! I recently bought your autobiography and raved about it to my brother, whose narrative is, 'My sister is good with numbers.. ' and left that as my forte. After raving about your book to him and him reading it, he has a simple understanding of the plight and reason for the plight of the ordinary people who spend the majority of their lives being employed in a 9 to 5 and wanting to have a home and a family, and, be able to provide for them. A change of one mindset at a time will eventually have the power of the people who stand behind it. God bless you for using your gift to bring clarity for ordinary people!
    36
  786. Mate this information is invaluable - keep it up you are changing the world
    36
  787. Thank you Gary, for your hard work trying to lift the blinkers, from the eye's of the voting public, unfortunately, The Rich will not let go of "THIS" nest they have built themselves,
    36
  788. The reason I agree with Gary, is because I see what he's talking about happen, to my family and people I know. I don't see hoards of refugees or people on benefits stealing the resources, I see houses being too expensive. I see my friends living with their parents until they are 30. The media is lying to us.
    36
  789. Hey Gary, your channel is perfectly right about what needs to happen economically. And I salute you for "sticking to your lane" and not being drawn into a traditional political analysis, we can get that elsewhere. About the future of the channel, my suggestion, for what it's worth, is to have conversations with heterodox economists like Stephanie Kelton and Kate Raworth to find common ground and common cause with them. Anyway have a great time in Japan, we look forward to all the new insights you bring back!
    36
  790. just 5 minutes to describe and provide solutions to one of the most crucial aspects of our current organisation of our economy. cracking stuff gary
    36
  791. When money is distributed amongst a greater number of people, the money gets spent by a greater number of people this improves the economy.
    36
  792. Really looking forward to the book Gary. Wishing you strength.
    36
  793. Gary, marvelous! I have been watching you for quite a while and I am so impressed and pleased with your continuous development and the growth in the standard of your presentations! Such hard work and so well done! Please keep it up! You are changing lives and I am sure your message is hitting home with more and more people all the time. One day, when you are old (like me) you can look back and think: I did'nt just sit there, I made a difference to hundreds of peoples' lives. Thank you for that.
    36
  794. This was a really fascinating insight into the world of trading but also some wonderful points made about what should and shouldn’t be valued in terms of wealth and happiness. Thanks once again for putting this content out there. Its so helpful.
    36
  795. Another brilliant video. I'm 55 and learning more from Gary re how economics works than I ever did at school.
    36
  796.  @nathanielbugg7355  i mean, he's laid it out many times. he's rich enough not to have to work anymore, and he's unhappy with the way most economists in media and academia talk about this stuff, so he's challenging their narrative. i feel like he explains that in almost every video lol
    36
  797. This is a great shot 2:31, really well positioned. Contrast of talking about Tax on high earners with the London financial capital behind.
    36
  798. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable I'd be going back and watching myself presenting 4yrs ago. Mad respect for doing this one.
    36
  799. Share the love Gary, you've done an amazing job, we need you to keep doing it, share the burden. Stay strong and be safe.
    35
  800. Tax on the rich is hard to increase because ordinary people, however misguided, believe they will one day be rich.
    35
  801. who's back after bro was right? 😂
    35
  802. Awesome work bloke. Australian Greens have a proposal (ERC533) which would levy a 6% wealth tax on billionaires (both foreign (with AU assets) and domestic), which is estimated to increase the fiscal balance by $50 B AU Dollars a year, even after all the tax write offs. I reckon it's either that, or we 'eat' them (metaphorically of course......).
    35
  803. Having finished 'The Trading Game' I think you may be neuro-diverse Gary: Super-focused, ultra-tenacious & deeply committed. Well done & good luck!
    35
  804. Wow... Unbelievable. I cang believe how down to earth, real and human this speech is. It motivates and invigorates the fire within me to raise human consciousness. This is just needed in the world. Everybody needs to stand up. If everybody doesnt stand up, it all collapses
    35
  805. Completely agree with all of that. We are in a cost of living crisis that's going to affect generation upon generation and then they start talking about whether you would eat factory created mix of some chemicals. A swerve mood to disrupt thoughts about the seriousness of what Gary was trying to talk about.
    35
  806. Love your channel Gary. You have been a real eye opener for me
    35
  807. Great to see you’re back, Gary. American here. Your videos cross the political boundary in my family. Likely in others, too. That’s a big deal. You need to grow? Let’s do this.
    35
  808. I really look forward to your videos whatever they are: interviews, guest appearances in the media and your educational videos. Don't stop doing them.
    35
  809. Gary I just wanted to say that you are giving me some hope for this country.... I realised for myself a long time ago that this country keeps getting poorer, every single year. I've been saying this to my parents and they are kind of dismissive with me. It's the reason I've never been interested in politics. Because I realised myself that you can vote labour or conservative and it doesn't matter... The result is that the country is going to continue getting poorer. My vote is meaningless. I am powerless. I have felt this way for most of my adult life. But the way you talk about wealth inequality, it gives me some understanding of why it is happening, it makes so much logical sense to me and look I'm a web developer, I don't know anything about this stuff... but you explain it so well and the way you talk about this actually gives me hope for the first time ever that maybe if enough people support this message there can be positive change. Please keep this up, it's so important and thankyou for this.
    34
  810. Really informative and thought provoking. The people should be hearing these life changing discussions on the BBC and Sky News, or it it a case of the rich not wanting the public to be enlightened to these topics ?!
    34
  811. GARY WONDERFUL I am 65 you speak complete sense.We need to work together. Inequality is a danger. Im with you.come on.
    34
  812. Knocked this one out the park, Bruv 👊🏾 Two things - please stop saying that you were a professional trader; we know, we're here. Do a one and done. You don't need to keep justifying your relevance. People can Google you if they doubt you that much. Two, this was a nice convo, but it meandered and repeated itself in parts. A little structure goes a long way. Keep banging them out 👍🏾
    34
  813. Gary, your voice is desperately needed right now. So glad you are putting yourself out there more and more. Unfortunately, you are not being seen by enough people. The BBC, CH4, CH5, Sky News, GB News, TalkTv etc need to bring you on and allow you to be heard by a myriad of audiences. Hopefully they are taking notice of your channel and bring you to the forefront of their economic segments/discussions.
    34
  814. Thank you, Gary, for your thought-provoking analysis. The situation can not continue in the way it is now.
    34
  815. Love the straight to the point, no messing about sassiness of this one 😂 "people don't like my channel because they think I'm a communist" 😂😂 We fight on 💪 I keep saying it to everyone I know #taxthesuperrich it's really that simple.
    34
  816. Brilliant talk, Gary. It made me cry. Hilarious thing is, I'm from a very similar background to you, lived in a council house, single-parent family, on benefits my entire childhood. Still, somehow, my mum managed to get me an OBOE and, back then, you had free music lessons. I still play it today 40 odd years later, so that part made me laugh. Aside from that, I think the most telling part of your talk was the quote from your Japanese friend who said that the rich have small hearts. That's what we're fighting against and sadly those in charge of making decisions that could make a difference also have small hearts. Hope you come back feeling refreshed from your Japan trip.
    34
  817. Good to see you Gary. You can get out of the estate but it never leaves you. Working people have a conscience, the 1 percent don't. When the big time hits, they will try to trash you with everything they have, but your truth and sincerity shines through. Keep going mate. From another ex council boy who got out.
    34
  818. Gary is spot on as always. Respect!👍
    34
  819. A guy I can relate to, talks economics in a way I can understand, and offering actionable advice. Please keep doing your thing Mr Stevenson.
    34
  820. I find it weird that the common man will get angry about me as a train driver fighting to get a raise. I’m far from rich. I’m doing ok. I live modestly and am able to overpay my mortgage. But I’m not rich. Even on my earnings I have to deal with the cost of living. My income isn’t immune from inflation. Why wouldn’t someone want me to succeed, because they can then go to their bosses and point to me saying “he got blah blah… I demand blah blah too.” They can even get my job, I’m retiring next year. I’ll have a modest pension for a 55 year old. Enough to live on. I want that for everyone. But people are so easily turned against each other. They willingly fight each other over scraps while a rich laugh at them. Every thing you have said made sense. The game is rigged.
    33
  821. You did a great job explaining why income inequality is important. I will share this with my children.
    33
  822. I spread your message n various social media channels as I’m sure others do too. As I work in marketing, I know this works. Most of this activity won’t be visible to you, but please be assured that the smallest pebble can cause ripples which turn into waves. I’ve advised my MP Ruth Cadbury that I voted Green because they adopted your policies to help make her sit up and listen. You’re on the cusp of making real and significant change.
    33
  823. Cheers from Australia.
    33
  824. As always, your presentation was excellent. People need critical thinking skills to see through the fog of mainstream media and politicians' misdirection. Thank you, Gary.
    33
  825. We’re not rich but until we retired we were definitely in the top 2/3% of the country, and we definitely do care. There are people around who live very comfortably who do care about others who struggle. Keep going Gary: the UK needs you. You’re right: their is strength in unity.
    33
  826. I love this guy he has no filter, his not like the other you-tubers. His honest and straightforward which is so hard to find here on Youtube.
    33
  827. People like Gary are the only way to bridge the gap between the facade of modern politics and the working class. It blows my mind that we are so prepared to listen to people who are so disconnected from our reality.
    33
  828. Politics is all about the redistribution of wealth. Workers who create the wealth have been robbed since the industrial revolution and presently the momentum is greater and the despair is greater. When the peasants stop voting for it, it will be an improvement but essentially Westminster politics do not work.
    33
  829. It would be comedic if it weren't so tragic 😢 keep up the good work Gary ❤
    32
  830. 25 years ago I had a mate who was working class who attended St John's he pretended he wasn't from Liverpool and took up rowing. Faked it all the way through and finally when he did his finals was approached by an investment bank to go work in Sao Paolo. Whereas some of the other lads who were working class found it a little harder.
    32
  831. This is an extremely accurate description of what I'm observing and personally experiencing in Australia. Property prices and rent are skyrocketing and almost inaccessible on a low to middle income salary without taking on huge debt or going into financial hardship. I wanted to move closer to my job in the city, however the cost of renting alone would be more than 50% of my monthly income and I'd only have enough to cover basic cost of living necessities which are also going up due to inflation. Increasing traffic congestion and public transport makes the long commute to the city a headache, and drains your free time and energy. Things are going really really badly for people from young or disadvantaged backgrounds who don't have a wealthy family to lean on.
    32
  832. Another great insight Gary. The worst con was that Austerity (taking money from the less-rich) and Trickle Down Economics (giving taxpayers money to the super-rich) is actually Suck-Up Economics (Rich buying Assets to make themselves richer so buying more assets making them richer....) real problem is that this is exponential which is why it almost always leads to huge social unrest and the serious long-term collapse of that country economically. That's the path we're currently on - not so Great Britain....😕
    32
  833. God bless you, Gary. It's about time someone stepped up and forward to explain all this stuff. Brilliant! Sorry that I'm 2 years late, but I've only just come across your channel.
    32
  834. Always bringing the most informative, the most well explained and relevant information. Truly doing Gods work Gary making it clear how and why our system is so unfit for purpose for 90% of us.
    32
  835. It's no longer a left/ right battle for ideals, it is now a battle for business models and those who benefit/sponsor them. Reform UK is not a political party grown from grassroots beliefs or ideals it actually started as a business. This combined with the control of the media has created an almost insurmountable challenge for democracy
    32
  836. Great video Gary. Great to see a bit of stability in the past week or so but what a mess our Government has put us all in!! No doubt our new PM will put the blocks on public spending and the impact of this will hit those less well off. He has to do something to help the poorer members of our society but he won't to the correct levels. He will help his kind just as his track record shows.
    32
  837. Everything you've said is true. Capitalism rewards those who are rich, while the rest take all the risks with very little gain: job loss, wage decrease, hunger, poverty, illness. There are certain key things human being require that don't work under Capitalism: health is one, energy and water provision is another: these things are a human right not a privilege, yet we seem to be going back to the days of The Citadel when healthcare was "privatised" and our waterways were polluted and therefore disastrous for ordinary people. Another thing: Capitalism requires the making of and increase in profits, so it needs the economy to keep growing ad infinitum, and much of what we need to keep it growing requires constantly sourcing raw materials from the natural world. The problem with that is what ecology economists are now saying: continual growth in a world of finite resources just isn't sustainable in the long term. The longer it takes for governments and corporations to realise this, the more likely we will see economic and social collapse.
    32
  838. Fantastic News. Googled you online and saw you were writing this book and its my must read of 2024. 70% of what you say in your videos, I kind of suspected a few years ago, but you confirmed my theories to be correct and helped fill in the other 30%, so this channel has been really helpful. Merry Christmas Gary. 🎄👍
    31
  839. It's alienation all round atm, anyways keep fighting the good fight Gary thanks for all that you do.
    31
  840. Another stellar explanation. Makes absolute sense what you're saying here. Good stuff and really well put.
    31
  841. Mate your an absolute breath of fresh air I’ve been saying this for years the rich are stiffing the poor more than ever now fully endorsed by the system we all have to adhere too ….. 👏👏👏
    31
  842. Never underestimate the corruption. Good point
    31
  843. Thank you Gary for taking the time to explain how economics work. It is great that you understand how the average person out here like myself, needs to hear your analysis more than once, of how wealth works and is used . I believe that changes to this unnequal system will have to come from the ground up, with help from you and others like yourself.🤔😇xxx again big thank you x
    31
  844. I support it and I spread your knowledge. Your communication is eye opening Gary. Please don't stop spreading this message.
    31
  845. I tried sharing your last video on Reddit and didnt get through some mods. Shame. They are highly accessible and speak to the person on the street most affected by wealth inequality.
    31
  846. Oh Gary you’re doing your job just fine, it’s the media that should be shouting all this from the rooftops! Thank you for caring.
    31
  847. "A complicated mixture of corruption, greed, and idiocy" is the best description of the current British government I have yet heard.
    31
  848. This is a perfect example ostrich effect and confirmation bias from the first woman who is desperately trying to find information that fits her worldview and can’t ever comprehend that she might be wrong. Gary, the fact that you have managed to see what is wrong with the economic system and decided to make this known to wider societies demonstrates your morals as a human. It was perfectly clear here that you were the only one who fully understand what they were talking about.
    30
  849. Your content is top notch. You're like the economics Robin Hood – spy on the rich and equip the poor with info so as to empower themselves. Keep up the good work....
    30
  850. Fantastic sermon, should be preached on every street corner, church and mosque. I hope you find what you are looking for, to be at peace with oneself is a very difficult achievement.
    30
  851. Thanks for the “You will own nothing and be happy” update 👍

  852. This is such sound advice. Yes, the markets are rigged against inexperienced traders and can lose you lots of money. The sad reality is that the economy is also rigged against it's ordinary citizens and whichever game you play, you are likely to lose. Thanks for what you are doing, and opening people's eyes, so they can really see what's going on!
    30
  853. It's mad how the fact that rich and poor people behave differently is a revelation to people whose job it is to understand the economy. More power to ya, Gary.
    30
  854. I went to Bournemouth yesterday same is happening there
    30
  855. Recently found your channel via newscast, great stuff and it's scary how accurate your predictions are given current inflation and cost of living crisis. I teach sociology at a uni in the UK and I used the exact sort of stuff you explain here to explain Marxist theory. I was expecting my students to show some annoyance at how Bezos has ended up richer yet there is a national insurance tax rise, but they didn't really seem to care. I really appreciate how you are explaining how economic inequality actually works and hope you keep spreading your message.

  856. Hi Gary, the bit you kind of miss to enunciate is that it is in their interest to invest in existing assets, investing in existing assets increases their value, especially if there is competition for those assets. As they will typically have existing assets paying over the odds for an additional existing asset will increase the value of their existing assets. Investing in new assets, unless it is a massive growth area, new technology, new market etc, then they won't as it is not in their interest as this will devalue their existing assets.

  857. I studied economics from 2012 to 2016 in Bulgaria. As you said - the people I studied with ended up in the field of Finance or within the hospitality industry (this was what we were specializing on in year 3 and year 4 of my undergrad), with a very small portion creating their own businesses or deciding to pursue a different passion. The course mainly focused on fundamental economic theory, basics & corporate finance as well as the history of economic thought From Adam Smith to 20th century Chicago school of economics and even touched on Marxism. Zero of it had any practical application in real world scenarios - just concepts and theories. It just felt like an ideal bubble. The only way I expanded on my knowledge was through studying up on my own once the undergrad was done to understand the real implications of inflation, interest rates, government policies, corporate tax avoidance & evasion and the impact on communities, public vs private sector disparity and the list goes on. Keep it up Gary!
    30
  858. Excellent video as always. Your explanations are really clear. Everyone should be watching these.
    30
  859. One of the brightest minds of our generation, one of the very few who truly came from the bottom. If we only had a few more Garys in government the world would truly be a better place. We deserve better, we deserve Gary for PM!
    30
  860. Gary's mic drop line: "What we're witnessing is truly amazing...its like a complicated mixture of corruption, greed and idiocy" Keep going Gary, you're making inroads, undoubtedly getting the attention of many, and its growing, because much like your repeatably correct predictions, you continue to be proven right in your statements regarding political economy. 👍
    30
  861. This is possibly the most important video you have made gary! That graph you showed is horrifying! How the hell did nobody see this (or at least nobody highlight it) in stark simple terms like you just did when that situation was getting close to 0...but well played gary for at least coming up with a solution (and yep its the same solution as you have in all your videos) to resolve this!! Lets keep getting more people on board and spreading the message! The irish people proved yesterday that they can push back on a tyrranical government (there is a lot more to do..), so its about time us Brits do the same with our government!!
    30
  862. Thanks for that Gary! Really well explained. I’d like to add that even when people manage to ‘buy’, even 25% of a flat a flat, they have just bought a piece of paper that says they can only live there for a certain amount of time, this is called a lease. If that time runs out of if they don’t pay their ground rent they are all set to lose their home, and many families have.
    30
  863. Remember guys, this isn't a politician stand, it's simply economics, the dude knows what he's talking about. So don't blame him for being liberal. He's talking facts
    30
  864. It’s funny because there’s me thinking “start a business, build assets, invest in yourself”. But then I remember how much support I had from my parents. How I had help buying our home. So I have wealthier parents…
    30
  865. I think one of the problems is that many people often talk about inequality in a financial context. We are now over 10 years on from Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett’s excellent book, The Spirit Level which outlined just how broadly inequality impacts all aspects of our lives and society. As a community worker I see this constantly in my work.
    30
  866. Love the videos! So informative and understandable, keep it up!
    30
  867. Did say in a previous video that certain ‘parties’ would appear to try and derail Gary’s message. Not surprised in the slightest that there’s been a hit piece. PROTECT THIS MAN.
    30
  868. I’m always stunned how housing remains outside of inflation measurements, it’s the single biggest expensive for a person and rises have run rampant for… well my entire adult life.
    30
  869. My daughter has just started college Gary I have sent her some of your links because you explain financial ideology in easily understandable language. Good work!!
    30
  870. I went to private school and I can tell you first hand it’s full of entitled sheltered people. It’s not good for society to separate children - we’ve all got to get along. I think they should be banned. The worst thing about this country is the class system. Makes me sick. They need to ban them period. People being judged by their accent is a disgrace. The best minds need to be in power not who went to eton.
    30
  871. Thanks for putting this in the spotlight , those who know this don't always have a plateform to be heard.
    30
  872. Gary just finished reading the book, good for you, you got out, before they devoured you, took your soul, sucked out your bone marrow, those bastards know what they are doing with you, they trawl the world, looking for rare people like you, knowing full well you're going to be creative and make more money for the bank, they can't do that you see! ....you made them a lot of money, you deserved every penny. And most importantly you got out at the top, and kept you're sanity, well done I salute you mate!
    30
  873. The stairway split 😁😁😁 I grew up on council estates and I guess we were poor. Growing up believing that upwards mobility is possible - and having teachers who believe in you- are key. Education and being technology savvy are often a way out/up.
    30
  874. Keep talking Gary they have to listen eventually. Great video 👏👏 thank you 🥰
    30
  875. High streets have been dying for over 30 years. High business rates, parking fees and explosion of online shopping makes the high street unaffordable for businesses and consumers alike. If councils want to reverse this they need to invest, attract businesses by abolishing business rates and ban parking fees. Make their high streets attractive place for people to visit. Also increase business rates for retail parks to encourage the move back. Councils need to have pride in their high street (which most don’t) Top videos Gary 👍
    30
  876. Money is not a real resource, it is the resource we use to determine the distribution of real resources. ✊🏻👊🏻💚

  877. 2 favourite British politics/economics youtubers (Honourable mention: TLRD News)

  878. Correct me if I'm wrong. So the 'growth' is the overall size of the pie/pizza getting bigger (e.g. from 9.5" to 13.5"), whereas Gary's point/concern here is that the recent trend is that the money the rich accumulated is largely used to buy up a higher proportion of the existing pizza while the size of the pizza itself remained unchanged therefore the non-rich get: 1) less physical resources amongst the population, 2) the same quantity now costs more because of smaller supply = inequality. So what we should be measuring the health of our economy against is whether the overall size of the pizza is getting bigger or not. I hope I got your point right, Gary.
    29
  879. Stumbled across your channel recently, quite frankly everyone should be following you. Worrying times. Cheers Gary 👍
    29
  880. You deserve millions of subscribers. Keep spreading the message, and thank you for your integrity.
    29
  881. This video was WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME. It will be seen as genius in years to come. All hail Sir Gary...
    29
  882. Thank you for these excellent, clear and informative presentations. I'm looking forward to reading your book. Please keep up the good work.
    29
  883. praying for your continued safety and success. thanks for continuously speaking up across various platforms and TRYING to make a difference and raise public awareness. it’s really hard to have faith anymore but i believe in you.
    29
  884. Keep giving Gary, people feel powerless in this cycle of grinding economics. Where ideology trumps basic economy. The rise and fall of nations is always hampered by ideology masked by religion.
    29
  885. cant believe there are as of march 2024 just 46 comments and 305 thumbs up to this...He explains exactly whats happening now.
    29
  886. Thank you Gary, I just watched you on Novara. Thanks for your offer to work with Labour for free. Thank you! I am a member of the Labour Party and I have told my local MP about your offer. I will keep asking. If I was in charge, I'd get you into Number 10 on a daily basis, lets turn this mess around and tax King Charles and everyone else that is sitting on hundreds of millions £££
    29
  887. She said these billionaires would leave. I'd have said good. What's the point in people who don't contribute their fair share to society. They are just sponging of the rest.
    29
  888. Don’t give up your message Gary. This is so incredibly important that the public hear you. Onwards with this channel’s growth
    29
  889. It’s impossible not to love this guy….. Even better he’s such a proper Londoner. I don’t mean we are better but it is music to my ears how he speaks ;))
    29
  890. I watched a clip from Question Time the other day, in it someone who claimed to be an economist was talking the standard economic dogma “if there’s not enough money the state needs to be smaller”. But how he talked about it really stood out to me, it was as if this is the way economics works and anything else is ideological without realising that he himself is presenting an ideology. There’s a reason only one type of economics is taught at University and it’s not because it’s settled mathematical science, it’s the same reason why you don’t hear alternative viewpoints in the media or from business leaders, it’s a political choice that started, certainly in America, before most of us were born. Some say this started with the Powell memorandum which in large part was a reaction to Ralph Nadar’s campaigns against corporate power.

  892. great stuff Gary, way to call out BS and hold people to account !
    29
  893. Wish I had found you earlier. You put my theory out so easily. Much respect to you from Australia
    29
  894. I'm about 75% of the way through your book, it's not bad!
    29
  895. Neither do Bill Gates or Warren Buffett dress like millionaires. Who cares?
    29
  896. Yes Gary, brought you book yesterday after finding out about your channel a few days ago. Awesome stuff! Need a group where everyone can chat I think
    28
  897. 'Take the microphone away from posh boys who are always wrong'. . Spot on insights about why the current system is broken and how to fix it.
    28
  898. Huge penny drop moment for me watching this. All makes so much more sense now! Great video Gary.
    28
  899. I was thinking of you the other day, glad to see you back on the YouTube! We need voices such as yours speaking truth to power. You're taking a big fight to a huge machine, people are ready to get behind you - we need this!
    28
  900. The best way to tell you were a legit trader? you're not trying to sell us a course on trading. Thank you! So refreshing.
    28
  901. Thank you so much Gary for doing this video! Simply,brilliantly put! No matter what side you’re on if any. This man has boiled down a complicated social issue effecting us all, all around the world to an understandable commentary that anyone should be able to comprehend. Each of us needs to see the other as a comrade NOT the enemy. This is definitely a case of divide and conquer.
    28
  902. Let’s go! Been missing for too long, we need the economic insights
    28
  903. What Gary describes sounds like something drawn from the military handbook of psychological interrogation, although nothing like as brutal. But we can bet that people will see much more of this as we move closer to an oligarchical overrule.
    28
  904. thats a really great way to put it that people who made money on house prices essentially shorted the spending power of the pound
    28
  905. Good to have you back Gary. 👏🏼 It's great that you have written a book it will help people to understand you and your background in economics. I’m looking forward to purchasing it and wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏼✨And good Luck in the New Year! I'm sure you're going to smash it.
    28
  906. Brilliant. I’m not an economist but I’ve come to similar conclusions over the past 60 years, especially past 20, that we are returning to a form of feudalism, in many ways not just economic. My daughter is graduating in Engineering this year, good salary, and we have nothing to offer by way of assets. She will be watching your videos as she starts her career once her exams are over. Thank you!!! Keep up your work. You deserve a Nobel Prize in Economics for what you are doing. Not sure if the brave new world will recognize you for it, but I do.
    28
  907. Spanish viewer in here. Just to dare to try out what you are intending is massive. Hope the public and the economic academia was more concerned about inequality down here.
    28
  908. This guy seems to be one of the most sane I have seen online. I am sad that he gets so little views in comparison to "get rich quick" youtubers. I do not agree that you have to accept that if you are not rich you give up on financial success. I think that if you try to achieve financial success by actually doing something exceptional and enjoy the process, you will start value self development and money might come naturally. It slightly resonates with noble prize idea in my opinion.
    28
  909. Have to watch this a few times to really understand it, its quite a shock to think banks sre a marketplace between the rich and the poor
    28
  910. Tough times for sure, it’s a greedy world we live in, help each other best we can 🙏
    28
  911. Nice one Gary!
    28
  912. Thank goodness for people like yourself Gary, you explain the facts of our living standards so that we all can understand the economics. We all need to care about equality and the distribution of wealth and importantly the super rich must be taxed.
    27
  913. Thomas Picketty's formula explains it pretty succinctly: r (rate of return on capital) > g (rate of growth in the economy). As Gary explains, it is about money flows. While the government technically has the power to print money and distribute it wherever they see fit, the money has to end up somewhere. If the government doesn't a) tax the wealthy and directly recycle the money back into the economy, or b) force the wealthy and corporations to reinvest profits in their workforce via regulation/taxation, inequality is guaranteed to increase.
    27
  914. Thanks for this Gary. I know people who have been absolutely killed by bad crypto investment.
    27
  915. “Deregulate the companies so they can hire workers” and then pay them what? £1/hr? 😂. She wants people to have jobs BUT what is the quality of those jobs?
    27
  916. You have really opened my eyes Gary thank you! Keep up the great work bro :)
    27
  917. I don't trade in anything yet, (you need money to trade) but you are brilliant. Honest, and full of rational sense. Thank you. And people must understand that there is analysis in trading. They need to read, to study. It's not just about potluck and betting. Your advice is excellent.
    27
  918. Please Gary never stop what you're doing ! Having someone with your background in this position is very rare. Share & Educate. Thank you so much, you give me hope
    27
  919. Fantastic video
    27
  920. Keep up the great work Gary. Like you I grew up poor and ended up relatively well off. I think you have to be reminded of what life is like for the people you grew up with to hold onto a social conscience. I had a lot of health issues that taught me how horrible life is what you are in pain. I had great healthcare (not in the U.K.) and it was still horrible. Then I realised how truly awful it must be for people like me trying to use the NHS where wait times are in years. That is what got me absolutely furious about inequality and barbaric neoliberal economics. It's not a happy space to be in, constantly angry and cynical. Then I remember what my life was like in pain and I remember the many many people who still suffer with no respite and I count myself extremely lucky but also motivated to change things.
    27
  921.  @LRSTFJ  They talked about there not being enough female viewers on the channel at one point.
    27
  922. What I liked about this interview was that you don't have to know about esoteric concepts like the Laffer Curve (which Annabel seems to evoke at 18:29, and how it was spectacularly proven wrong by Art Laffer himself, when he was handed the leavers of power in Kansas) to know that the IEA's positions on the economy are outdated, you just have to look at the increasingly long lines at food banks, as Mariella did. And her final thought, that further deregulating the labour market will help tackle inequality, is just madness. Absolute madness.
    27
  923. Omg, you make so much sense. I love listening to you. Thank you
    27
  924. Been a student of YouTube for years, and stumbled across this channel. Folks, Gary is pretty much forecasting what is to come based on the facts and evidence we have before us at the moment. If those facts and evidence do not change, in a few short years we could be looking back saying why didn't we act sooner. The inequality is causing crime and migration to increase worldwide, and world leaders are going hard right because their donors are telling them to do so. We have to get to work - now.
    27
  925. Crystal clear, succinct, direct and you are undoubtedly correct. Got a chill down my spine, it’s so obvious that that is going to happen. Fantastic work, Gary
    27
  926. Could watch your videos all day, always soo helpful and informative! ❤️
    27
  927. Brilliant Gary, assessing wealth by how much money you have is a mugs game. As you say we can compete against them, they have wrapped up. Real richness comes with happiness and whilst money gives you options,it cannot buy happiness. Reframe what you have around and appreciate value. You may not have it tomorrow.
    27
  928. The Tony Benn quote really hits home. We have fought this fight before. It was staggering to read some of the debates that took place and the rationale behind them which allowed us to do so. When I look at it now it makes modern debate look infantile and ill informed which of course it is.
    27
  929. Super interesting. The source of government debt is never explained beyond that they issue government bonds. This whole issue of who we (as tax payers) owe all this money to is kept so opaque so this is a helpful insight. Thanks @garyseconomics
    27
  930. Thanks Gary for sharing yet another interesting perspective. Btw, I fixed the link to your YouTube channel on your Wikipedia page. Cheers from Bangalore, India.
    27
  931. I’ve been waiting for a person like you to step up for people like me. I wish you could be the shadow chancellor. That would really make me smile .
    27
  932. You touched on it a little in this video but would love to hear your recommendations for books / resources for further reading on the subjects you talk about.
    26
  933. Great video Gary, I'm behind this message and hopefully movement 100%
    26
  934. The idea of almost a neo-feudalism is something I’ve seen bouncing round on the the internet around this topic. Seems to be a coming together of interpretations from multiple commentators. This modelling makes the most sense intuitively, from a young persons perspective such as myself who was born into upper working/lower middle class family. Always put it so succinctly Gary. I’d love to hear more about your interpretation of how history shapes this phenomenon.
    26
  935. Already seeing multiple news channels talk about how on Wednesday we’ll see that inflation is down and everything is great. Thanks for the work Gary keep spreading the truth!
    26
  936. Gary, you ARE the people's economist. Keep up the good work mate.
    26
  937. First-time visitor and already a fan. Thanks and keep it up.
    26
  938. This is hillarious. You were 100% correct.
    26
  939. Exactly…. Economics is not a math problem, it should be people focused. I was lucky enough to be a member of the Canadian Autoworkers union years ago and at that time they offered a Labour studies diploma/certificate in conjunction with McMaster University. It was an incredible experience. Economics, urban planning, global politics, environmental science etc all through the lens of putting working people and labour ahead of capital. Empowering and educating the working class is a must. Great channel Gary!
    26
  940. I am grateful that you took the time out of your day, and life for that matter, to educate people on these issues. Thank you!
    26
  941. I worked in business for 35 years, I have shelves full of business books. The Trading Game is the FIRST business/economics book that I've read cover to cover. Gary get your Patreon going because people need to understand these concepts, and you deliver them at such an easily accessible level. Thank you.
    26
  942. Tax the bloody rich !!!!
    26
  943. You make economics so much easier to understand, thank you.
    26
  944. Just finished your book. Thank you for sharing. I came away thinking I just don’t have the metal fortitude to do what you did to “get rich”.
    26
  945. Gary there’s no other way to put it you’re an absolute legend. Thank you for all your work and keep at it.
    26
  946. The channel is brilliant. Your story is brilliant. Your no nonsense explanations are brilliant. The next move for you and many others is to unify around a banner of 'The status quo can not go on' We need the great communicators to get together. For some traditional political types it'll mean burying some hatchets but I see you as a part of it. It can only work if many likeminded people get together.
    26
  947. What I'm finding really interesting about your content is that you're someone who understands life from both sides of the fence. You've even mentioned that you appreciate that you know what it's like to be both rich & poor, something most people don't. I've learned that to understand anything from both sides really changes how you approach problem solving. It's really refreshing to get some balanced insight from someone who knows the score to counter the ill-informed opinions or gaslighting that usually makes up the commentary on topics like economics.
    26
  948. I've been following you for some time Gary. You really are a man of the people... thank you.... shared far and wide.
    25
  949. Planning to get your book and make a start in NZ. Good to see that you are back
    25
  950. DIGNITY!!! Yes, you've nailed it! Not related to income, or even achievements, absolutely! So wonderful to hear this truth spoken to the masses! The intrinsic dignity of the human person transcends all material variables. If only we could always remember this! The question: "How can I get rich?" Is really a person asking "How can I be happy?" They just don't realise it! Gary, one word comes to mind whenever I listen to you ..."Humility!" I believe it's the highest of human virtues, whether King or beggar, it also transends! I would say it's the ability to see the truth of who you are and where you are in life and to accept it with simple gratitude! You have this Gary, it's an amazing gift to those you encounter. I pray you never lose it! Thank you.
    25
  951. I like this guy, he might be rich but at least he can see the problem.
    25
  952. Successive governments have always gone for the lowest hanging fruit ..... that's is ordinary tax payers. The rich have always been protected by the same governments. They should be taxed 'call it an emergency wealth tax' .
    25
  953. What a super intelligent person. He also has the gift of making a very dry subject extremely interesting. I’m so pleased I found this channel 😊
    25
  954. We can and should tax the rich! End of.
    25
  955. Watching this channel getting more and more popular makes me feel better about future of humanity. Keep it up!
    25
  956. I hardly ever comment, but since finding your channel a few days ago, I've been binging away at your videos filled with sensable explanation, presented with the utmost integrity and the proper no-bullshit-attitude. Thanks mate, I can finally put my finger on this feeling, that things just slowely start to get harder and harder, and now I understand better, why exactly. Don't ever stop!
    25
  957. Just finished your book Gary - a brilliant read, brilliantly written. Some bits had me howling laughing, some pulling my hair out, others left me exhausted! It should definitely be made into a movie, "Rupert" might even be this generation's Patrick Bateman. It's been so eye opening since I found your channel last week, I must have watched 20 of your videos as well as rattling through your book the past few nights. Thanks for your videos, your message, and for bringing to light this imminent threat to the British people, and making us aware of something so blatant, hidden right under our noses. Good man Gary. We can get there. We have to get there.
    25
  958. WELL DONE Gary! You can wipe the floor with all these other 'panellists' that Nicki, she was speechless. The Presenter had completely dis-engaged the panellists with her boring questioning. GARRY U NEED YOUR OWN SHOW !!
    25
  959. You've hit the nail Gary! I face the same stuff in my field
    25
  960. Incredible insight! Gary is a legend
    25
  961. Gary your videos are truly amazing, I’ve learnt more in an hour of watching you than I have in 2 years of reading the FT. Thank you!
    25
  962. What'd be REALLY cool is a dig down into trading. Philosophy, technique, theory, technical. How you figured out what was happening. The details. That's the stuff that'll help convince (and interest) some folks wanting 'proof'. Personally, I'm really interested how you came to understand and test your theory on the markets.
    24
  963. That point about taking the smarter kids out of schools so that then the ones left behind become an island of sorts where they don’t have the the same ‘competition’ , also the modelling and possibly the support, of the ‘smarter kids’ being alongside them. I was a poor kid in a grammar school too. It was a bizarre experience for me. Still reconciling! Glad Gary you ‘succeeded’ in the economical ‘achievement’ sense but more so in the sense that you’re putting your brain and heart to good use. And speaking up and out about this. I appreciate it must be difficult in various ways to do this.
    24
  964. Here is a man with a CALLING. He's not in it for the YouTube money. He's not trying to sell us vitamins. He actually gives a crap about the little guy. He's everything our politicians should be, but bloody ain't. Subbed!
    24
  965. I think if somebody were to research the wealth of the people in Britain, you may find that they were descended from aristocrats and landed gentry from hundreds of years ago. This is a very unique situation in Britain which probably is does not exist in North America for example. So you get a historical imbalance of power and wealth that has perpetuated until today. Goes to show how the rich can only get richer while the poor get poorer and poorer.
    24
  966. Millions of people need to see this and hear the message from Gary. Not only in the UK but all over the world. We need to stand up to the elite who are bleeding us dry and killing us as they do so. There Is strength in numbers. More people need to collectively believe that. Im struggling mentally in my late 20s with a bachelors degree and working a min wage job with no hope for the future. I'm at the point over the past few months asking myself why I'm even alive if I have no vision for the future to enjoy but Gary is keeping the flame alive. Honestly thank you Gary for helping to pull me back from an increasing dark place. 🙏🏽
    24
  967. Lmao cash only for no obvious reason 🤣
    24
  968. Missed you mate. We need you to speak for us. Your platform is so important. Can’t wait to get hold of your book. Merry Christmas to everyone ❤
    24
  969. Much love from Australia Gary! So many facts easy to digest to an average person!
    24
  970. Very true. Not to mention that in state schools they've got to focus their resources on those who "most need" their help, which means bright kids are falling through the cracks, likely aren't meeting their potential, are bored shitless because they're not being offered challenging work. I thought all I needed to do was to get the grades to go to college, which weren't high, and then do well at college. Hell, I didn't even know to go to a grammar school at 11, neither did my parents. There is a severe lack of investment in education which deprives poor kids of opportunities to fulfil their potential.
    24
  971. I am 100% up for helping you Gary. We are the avengers.
    24
  972. Agree 100% we should target those with more but the biggest problem is our Government favour those so won't do a thing about it. The really annoying thing for me is many of those suffering in the UK actually voted them into power at the last General Election!!
    24
  973. It's a rainy Sunday afternoon, I've just got myself a big mug of coffee, why not binge-watch some GarysEconomics videos so I can finally explain to my stepdad and other people his age why I think the financial system is a mess and on the verge of catastrophe for everyone else
    24
  974. As one of your early subscribers Gary, a big thank you for saying what needs to be said so clearly. As I post comments around utube, I will continue to do what I can to refer others to your channel which deserves more views than sky and the bbc put together.
    24
  975. Good morning. James O'Brien interview was good. Keep hitting us with the stark truth.
    24
  976. Your honesty is what separates you from the fake dream sellers, you have put value on yourself im glad to say you are principled and using your intelligence in the right path. Big ups garry, you encourage me to study economics my dream course but its too late im 27
    24
  977. Unfortunately Gary the middle and working classes in this country have been set against each other since before the Chartists. That said, I can’t think of another time when the masses interests have been so aligned. The recent redistribution of wealth from the bottom up has dragged a usually protected middle class into the fight and things cannot carry on as they are. As you’ve said our economic cliff is fast approaching and we have to come together to fight it. Solidarity.
    24
  978. Great you mentioned Ha Joon-Chang and Tomas Piketty - these are people I read. I teach education and international development at UCL and I ask people I work with to engage with these authors - I will try to find the other economists you mention. Keep up the struggle G. As you know it really matters. I came from a working class background too
    24
  979. I am from Tanzania and what Hary says about why corruption is a big problem in countries like mine is so very true
    24
  980. Very good and clear Gary on demystifying things. Keep it going.
    24
  981. Thanks someone with a plumby accent telling me that taxing the rich doesn't work. Why don't we try it for once and see?
    24
  982. Jimmy's talk about rhetoric is bang on. Needs more voices like yours than bland politicians.
    24
  983. Gary educating us while wearing a No Face hoodie. This man is cultured
    24
  984. When I first looked into personal trading out of frustration in not being able to make money, my Dad made basically the same point a different way. He pointed out the simple fact that even if you make the right choices & everything gains instead of loses (& losing is obviously a strong possibility), unless you start with very large amounts of cash, any gains you'll make will be insignificant. Another way of saying it only works if you're rich already. It only works if after you've paid your living expenses, you have a lot of excess money left over to play with. Obvious really, but a very easy point to miss when you're driven by the desire to make more money.
    24
  985. Well done, Gary, on the book.
    24
  986. We'll never hear this on the news which is a shame
    24
  987. Really brilliant to see you on 'Politics Live' today Gary. Thank you for your Voice! You can clearly see that the BBC and the wealthy, do not want to give the ordinary people a fair opportunity in discussing the options and ways of Taxing The Super Rich!!
    24
  988. Not far to 1 million dude, big love and thank you x
    23
  989. I think I joined when you had 4000 followers. I could see what was happening and you became the voice to spread the message. Thanks Gary, keep up the good work.
    23
  990. Love ya style fella! Just becoz you make a few quid doesn’t mean you have to be billy big balls and buy all those things that wealthy individuals are “suppose” to purchase, so many are caught up in the consumerism game that they literally can’t help themselves and are constantly making stupid purchases to fill some kind of hole. Sometimes it’s just about having the freedom to do what u want when u want and no financial stress-so you can just chill out - that’s worth a billion pound in my book and that’s the benefit of real wealth. Keep up the good work fella and thank you for your views.👊🙏
    23
  991. We had a chance to sort this in 2019, except everyone had their knickers in a twist about brexit, which is completely irrelevant compared to the problem of asset prices.
    23
  992. I always explain your background to people, it shows you are extremely credible. Damn I’ve already pre-ordered! Xxx
    23
  993. Finished Gary's book at midnight last night having picked it up from the library earlier in the day! Couldn't put it down, absolutely brilliant and knowing what he went through, have even more respect for what he's doing now. Excellent video - I'll be sharing with lots of people. This message needs to get out more because the only way the government are going to change is if people demand changes to the tax system. Other countries are more equal than the UK through their systems - so it's possible to have a functioning economy that doesn't reduce people to Dickensian poverty. Thanks Gary x
    23
  994. Morning Gary. Really enjoyed your book, listened to the audiobook over Christmas. Hope you enjoyed Japan.. All the best for 2025 & beyond
    23
  995. Wow, you've described the true lived experience of capitalism 👏 once people understand this, they won't feed into it 🙄
    23
  996. Wonderful speech Gary! I had tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Have a good time in Japan and come back refreshed. We need you!
    23
  997. That last sentence was gold. With knowledge you people can start to take action.
    23
  998. Thank you Gary. You are a brilliant educator. I learn so much from your channel.
    23
  999. This is my first video I have seen from you and I just wanted to say that you are the first person I have seen who has adressed our economic system as it is with graceful and percise articulation about our economic issues Thank you for that, Genuinely
    23
  1000. I vow to work incredibly hard to cook up pledges that will either be achieved by default and/or cant be measured but can guarantee I will claim success for.
    23
  1001. Complete G! This is the sprit... ''we're going to keep talking about it untill we understand it.''
    23
  1002. How is this man a studio ghibli fan? Bruh, when we doing a spirited away watch along video?
    23
  1003. I just want to echo all of the positive comments below. You are on an amazing journey, keep pushing and keep walking, your authenticity and patience is key 💪
    23
  1004. There are alot more supporters for you then those so called Journalists. Never ever doubt that, keep it going!!!
    23
  1005. 9:09 BLOODY OBSCENE! 🤬 21:19 EXACTLY THAT! '... austerity was a lie' 😠 23:26 There ya go - NEVER TRUST A TORY! 25:34 This is what boils my bile. Not enough people understand that 1% decrease/increase on low income is virtually unnoticeable in the pay packet BUT the accumulative affect on the budget of public services we rely on is MASSIVE. Legacy media are in no hurry to explain it either
    22
  1006. Can you do a video on what the next 2-3 years would look like financially for ordinary people just like you did one during COVID?
    22
  1007. Baffles me that Kate would even suggest its a bad idea.....Well done again Gary, great talk.
    22
  1008. Let's assume people are selfish. Therefore, people are selfish.
    22
  1009. the whole world seems to be financially collapsing ATM
    22
  1010. You deserve that holiday. And stay strong despite the attacks. We're all behind you. Look after yourself and thanks for everything
    22
  1011. Just seen you on Novara. You come across really well. Huge respect for pushing sensible economics.
    22
  1012. Thank you Gary. I’m a middle aged man learning everyday from your videos. Will ask my children to view and learn from them. Thank you.
    22
  1013. Yessss Gary posted🔥
    22
  1014. One of the most important voices in the country right now. I hope you have a plan for when the machine comes for you.
    22
  1015. Gary I'm so grateful that we have you. It feels like you scoop us away from the chaos and help us get centered, rather than stirring us up into more panic and anger. Thank you.
    22
  1016. Keep going Gary, you're really changing things... When it happens it will happen quickly, like an avalanche and it's going to happen!
    22
  1017. This video - and EVERYTHING Gary has put out - should be shown in every school, before every film at the cinema, as a series on a major British TV channel (and elsewhere), at ALL political party meetings, in the Women's Institute ... everywhere
    22
  1018. Love Gary, speaking the truth to power.
    22
  1019. 'All models are wrong, some are useful' (G Box, 1979) I contend this single agent version is deliberately unhelpful.
    22
  1020. What I hear you saying is not, "I believe we can", but rather, "I know we can", because everything you just told me about your direct, lived experience informs that first order knowing ... you care, and you refuse to ignore, or explain away that fundamental truth, even when your health and well being suffer for it. Many of the well off abdicate their humanity to save their sanity, most of the impoverished know that the abdication of humanity is a form of insanity. Your commitment to your basic sanity and goodness is a virtue, and virtue seems to be in short supply these days. Deep bow of respect, gratitude, and inspiration 🙏
    22
  1021. Keep up what you do Gary. We little people are so grateful for what you are doing. Your video explains what you mean about the wealthy getting richer and their accumulation of wealth that they don't need making and making us peasants even poorer. Keep spreading the message out there. You give us hope.
    22
  1022. The first lady is clearly living in a parallel universe. Ordinary people on ordinary salaries are well aware that pay has stagnated since 2008 but the same hasn't happened to house prices. Clearly something is wrong!
    22
  1023. First person I’ve seen making an actual video about this… goes to show the level of transparency you keep when it comes to your videos in general, I really respect that, keep up the amazing work Gary you’re a God-send for many.
    22
  1024. Gary, invaluable channel, knowledge & campaigning on wealth tax. Have you ever thought about creating a more detailed set of of videos teaching how to trade/invest? How to understand & interpret financial news and economic indicators? etc etc? Thanks brother.
    22
  1025. Holiday, alright for some!😊 Enjoy it though!
    22
  1026. Great to see you doing this ! I taught you maths years ago, and now I'm an econ student I'll be learning from you !
    22
  1027. Heard your interview on radio 5 live this morning and thought it was excellent. You need more exposure on MSM. Thank you for your insights on a wealth tax. I wholeheartedly agree - it’s about time the rich stopped getting richer and the poor, poorer.
    22
  1028. Thanks for all you do. Your approach to economics and your analysis is a breath of fresh air. I share your incredulity that this isn't being discussed more in the mainstream. But I think more people have a better understanding thanks to you and others.
    22
  1029. This guy is an excellent communicator and teacher. Everything is simplified so your auntie can understand it. With a total leck of buzz words 👍👍 Excellent
    21
  1030. Thank you so much for showing us Gary. I think when you grow up poor (I did too) it stays with you but what makes all the difference is if there was love in the house. Happy memories come from love and peace, no matter how much (or little) money you have. It is bloody awful to live in poverty but it's a while lot easier if you have a happy family.
    21
  1031. just watching lbc interview..fascinating🤠👍
    21
  1032. Literally nothing else more important to be the main talk of politics
    21
  1033. I was wondering why this has 0 dislikes with so many views. Well, because this is legit information. Thanks, Gary.
    21
  1034. Thank you Gary for your hard work. I ran into my mate who I did boxing classes with and hadn’t seen for maybe 4/5 months. I was chatting to him and what you said had resonated deeply with me. His family had been evicted last week. His mum and brother are now trying to find somewhere whilst in temporary housing and he’s currently living in his bosses sun house which I couldn’t believe that it’s what it came to. I met him mum a couple of times and she worked for the NHS and he works in some kind of trade. The simple matter is the system is setting everyone who doesn’t own anything up for failure - It’s sickening.
    21
  1035. Your content is incredible. Keep up the good work. Mad you're not bigger.
    21
  1036. I traveled through the journey with you as you made the presentation, it was really touching. The sad part about this world is that we can't save everybody, but we can make a difference and touch many lives.
    21
  1037. Everyone's getting wealthier? 😂. What planet is Annabel on?
    21
  1038. This is some of the only content that connects the current affordability crisis to rising wealth inequality. This is what sets Gary apart from others like Bernie. I am in the US and I am seeing Bernie on the Senate floor barking about inequality and oligarchy for 20 minutes at a time, without mentioning what it actually means for people. Housing crisis, inflation, and disappearance of the middle class. Thank you Gary for making the real impacts of rising inequality understandable for everyday people.
    21
  1039. I'm not from the UK but shit is same everywhere, things need to be changed on global scale. This channel needs to grow fast and all of this needs to be heard. Thank you Garry, you're a legend! (Just don't start selling courses please 😂)
    21
  1040. We must protect this man at all fucking costs. If they make him disappear we must do everything we can to protect him.
    21
  1041. Love a bit of Gary - where have you been all our lives?! Another brilliant upload - sterling job. 👏👍💛 Annabelle Denham - blimey - I honestly don't know how you tolerate her.
    21
  1042. This man was spot on. 10/2024 and government tried to take credit for drop in inflation.
    21
  1043. This man talks so much sense it's unbelievable. He needs to get into politics and teach those so called politicians that the country is for all the people and not just the 1%.
    21
  1044. Hello Gary. I picked up your book a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve just finished it this weekend. Loved it. I went to Japan myself back in 2019 so reading your experiences made my day. I watch all of your videos and you’re inspiring me to help make change. I look forward to even more videos. Keep chipping away!
    21
  1045. Great teacher!
    21
  1046. This resonates so much. I never even considered the possibility of becoming a lawyer or engineer etc or anything like that. Partly because I wasn't connected to any of those people in social circles and partly because my school did not lead higher achievers down that path. As you have mentioned in another video, state school students like me were still lost even when we got into a good university, because we did not understand the importance of chasing summer internships in the city or similar after our first year...
    21
  1047. Have a rich dad. I wondered how you were going to answer this question Gary. (I have no desire to become rich btw) This response was brilliant. Well done for sticking to your principals. Let’s change the rules together: thanks Gary.
    21
  1048. Bro, are the rich giving the money back? We aint going nowhere mate. I'm really chuffed for your subs and the book. It's good to see your will become manifest. Shout out to camera dentist, let's pull these troublesome fuckers out ❤
    21
  1049. Good luck Gary. Let's hope your message reaches enough people who can force a change and fix the mess this country has become!
    21
  1050. Gary, I love your efforts and hope your message really gets out there.
    21
  1051. It’s brilliant that you can create engaging content that looks at different interesting subjects but still delivers the core message about inequality- this is what socialist politicians should be doing if we had any left!! Keep it up Gary
    21
  1052. Gary. What a whirlwind two weeks it must have been! This is creepy but it feels like I’ve chatted with you every day of that 😂 the content is amazing. The exposure is needed. Incredible work. I bet you’ve got a nice summer holiday booked to recover 😂 and if you haven’t - then make sure you get one booked! ❤
    21
  1053. Morning. My beloved Sunday brew and Gary's knowledge.. I'll be really interested when Labours first financial plans come out.
    21
  1054. Great video! Succinctly explains how trickle down economics just leads to asset price inflation, which leads to average person becoming relatively poorer. And how the investment they do make are often in non-productive assets that extract wealth from the people who don't own the assets which increases the relative wealth inequality further
    21
  1055. Thank you Gary, It's about time that people learn just how the game is rigged.
    21
  1056. Enjoy your holiday Gary your voice is needed. Interesting that this was filmed about 2 weeks ago and it foreshadows exactly what's happening right now with the mention of immigration and farage. As far as the YouTube channel goes I think that it would be interesting and helpful for you to interview people. Politicians economists journalists all of the other people out there that engage with these ideas of political economy and to not only share where they're coming from but also engage in a discussion with them about where you're coming from and where everyone needs things to go. I also think on some level you need to become more politically engaged and potentially even run for office and start thinking about that so that you can have the spotlight of being an MP while your campaigning for the movement and your ideas at the same time. If we need someone like you closer to the levers that need to be pulled then that's what we need. And we need to get you closer to the people that are close to those levers.
    21
  1057. I'm here after listening to your Full Disclosure interview with James O'Brien. Looking forward to learning more from you. Peace.
    21
  1058. Great from Gary as always. I was floored by the disingenuous arguments made by Annabel, she sounds a bit desperate trying to push her clearly baseless view.
    21
  1059. Big love to you all Gary from the Isle of Wight, where over the next 10 years the demographic is going to change from 35% pensionable age to 50%. People own 2nd/3rd/4th houses here, some villages are 50% holiday homes. Wages are 20% lower than the mainland, work is mostly seasonal. Young people don’t have a chance here and it’s getting worse. We have some of the worst deprivation in the UK. My own work is environmental, trying to create opportunities for young peoples future. Your work is vital. I’m very grateful to you , big love ❤
    21
  1060. Boom Gary! And here we are. Great video as always. You're the voice of reason and sense in this economic mess we're in.
    20
  1061. Brilliant simile Gary Copernicus. Let's watch how this one is accepted. Someone has to move the thinking and I have a feeling it will be you.
    20
  1062. basically the market based prioritazation is the issue and it's not bypassed by the measures, essentially you argue for rationing, to be fair, amidst a crisis a wealthy person shouldn't be allowed to use energy to warm 5 mansions and fly the jet while other ppl don't have energy to cook, part of the social contract, at some point we have to realize you can't be rich without other ppl around, it's really self harming (to the rich) behaviour if you think about it
    20
  1063. Thanks Gary, another great video Not nice to hear but absolutely essential viewing I appreciate what you do
    20
  1064. I've understood this concept for some time now. Speaking to friends and family, I make the analogy of the inheritance tax that middle class families have to pay, from generation to generation our wealth is slowly getting bled dry while for example the extremely rich can afford to offshore and hide assets or in the case of the royal family don't have to pay inheritance tax on billions of pounds worth of inheritance like King Charles inherented from Queen Elizabeth's death.
    20
  1065. I definitely lost brain cells listening to Kate andrews
    20
  1066. Hello from America 🇺🇸. I'm obsessed with your videos, Gary. You do an AMAZING job of breaking things down and have helped give me the words to use when these subjects come up, which is more frequently by the day.
    20
  1067. I love the comparison of "I can reduce the swelling in your face over the next 3 months" 😂😂
    20
  1068. One of the first and best thing’s you’re doing is reclaiming the narrative and encouraging purposeful conversation. It’s a great start. Enjoy your Jolly!
    20
  1069. Good Morning , again many Thanks for you time and expertise ,x
    20
  1070. Hopefully my fellow Aussies took something from this video, I sure did.
    20
  1071. I've got it Gary I passed the 'be nice' test From New Zealand So you r safe lol I do enjoy U being u So novel😊 So unusual Best wishes Otaki NZ
    20
  1072. This is a great conversation. I listened to this on the podcast and watched this a couple months back (in total that is twice). People will learn so much from this and your videos. Keep up the good work.
    20
  1073. Cheers from South America Gary! Keep awakening people
    20
  1074. Also worth mentioning that the rich are often invested in food / energy / resources PLC's (commodities) so benefit from dividends and share price increases whenever those markets see spikes, possibly from within a 'tax efficient' ISA (UK) or equivalent. Also shorters can benefit from the turmoil of war and inflation by betting against things that fall in value (FX et al) - e.g the 2007/08 big short of the mortgage market. Shorting per se isn't necessarily an issue as it can highlight problems that need addressing within a market or company (dodgy accounting for one...).
    20
  1075. Fantastic ❤ Keep Spreading the Word.
    20
  1076. Paul, Gary and Sarah keep going your doing a great job. Once people understand the truth of the situation we can collectively move forward.
    20
  1077. Thanks for your breakdowns, they must be taxing...
    20
  1078. STOP ARGUING ABOUT LEFT AND RIGHT. Well said Gary. It’s all about divide a rule.
    19
  1079. Gary for PM. Thats the only way
    19
  1080. You're so bang on the money about house prices here. I remember speaking to my brother many years ago about this, when I had a flat and wanted to sell it to buy a house. I was saying I wanted the house prices to drop. He thought that was daft, because that would reduce the price I could sell my flat. But I made the point that if my flat dropped 25%, I might lose £10k, but if the house I wanted to buy dropped 25%, it might be £50k. Either way, it was only my salary that would make up the difference between the two values, and I was certainly not going to get a pay rise that would make up differences anywhere near those values.
    19
  1081. Including "Course" and "Part 2" in the title would likely attract more attention. Great vid anyway!
    19
  1082. From the US here. My Roman Empire has been to get ppl to stop thinking Red/Blue and think more Top/Bottom. It’s hard to undo that thinking, but it’s possible, because it happened for me organically.
    19
  1083. What an amazing woman! I love her! (and Gary of course!). It breaks my heart as a Londoner to hear we've got more food banks in Britain than MaccyDs! It shows how unaccountable our Government is for upholding the mandate of the people to protect & preserve lives with dignity. Actually its a violation of basic human rights...in one of the so called richest cities in the world. Community is how this gets resolved. I'm working in Sri Lanka trying to help sort out their financial crisis caused by corrupt politicians. I see parallels. People just accepted the inequality here until the food and fuel literally ran out. Then with a common cause they put differences (always exaggerated by media) aside and marched together and overthrew the prime minister & president. People may not have money, but they have a voice. And when that voice becomes a collective national voice it is more powerful than the richest institution.
    19
  1084. Just found this channel after the Insider interview. You're doing good work here. I appreciate it.
    19
  1085. Brilliantly explained! I had never drawn the line between the 3 before being the same in regards to wealth transfer, love your educational stuff ❤
    19
  1086. Who needs a billion pounds? Fundamental question, should end any argument along these lines
    19
  1087. Brilliant timing. Great coverage of this topic too. People with larger mortgages are really struggling. Reports indicate that in february of 2025, that around 50,000 households are coming off of 5 year fixed mortgages 😮😮
    19
  1088. Great video, I love your honesty in this. I give huge kudos to Gary for this.
    19
  1089. Congratulations Gary on the number 1 position, so deserved! 🎉🎉
    19
  1090. "Capitalism doesn't reward you for what people want. Capitalism rewards you for what people with MONEY want" that is such a good quote ngl
    19
  1091. I've just discovered your channel. Looking forward to your return. Thank you for this work you are doing - it is so important.
    19
  1092. Gary I bet you were a breath of fresh air in that stuffy old institution.
    19
  1093. A brilliant explainer, thank you Gary 👍👍 Let's keep spreading this message
    19
  1094. I rarely binge read books out of sheer enjoyment, but the trading game i couldnt put it down, up till 1am reading which i rarely do. Making it into a series or doc or film would bang no doubt. so many twists and turns, lots of emotional turmoil, and an insight into a side of society which ordinary people dont ever see. plus the implicit powerful political message, gets people thinking.
    19
  1095. Bless you man!!! I'm so glad I took the time to watch you. I spent 45 + years as a political activist on many issues as far back as Vietnam. You state the obvious so clearly and it's refreshing to hear such honesty! Good Man!! 😎👍 you got my sub!
    19
  1096. So glad the channel has got huge success at last Gary. Thanks so much for doing this! It’s beautiful to see. I feel hope for the future if you keep going with this!
    19
  1097. Gary you are "The big voice in the room". That voice can only grow. That should be the name of an electronic magazine for reducing the wealth gap, 'The Big Voice In The Room'. We would all subcribe, we could all pay our union fees.
    19
  1098. My son's currently studying Economics at Sheffield. I've sent links to your vids to him. I hope the weight of opinion swings over to your side with regards to tax (and minimum wage). Unfortunately with Brexit, the Torys and Covid we (as a country) haven't got much chance. Keep up the good work.🤞

  1099. I did wonder when you would post this Gary 👍🏻 A solid argument as always so well done mate and I hope you get more mainstream exposure soon.
    19
  1100. Great to see you back. 🎉
    19
  1101. @garysecnomics This made me cry. I hope I'm one of the "good kids". Not from a particularly well off background, but nothing like your childhood. I'm not an economist but want to do something to help, beyond sharing your content.
    19
  1102. I swear I'm literally counting down the days for the release of this book
    19
  1103. Great content. Brave speaker. And it is true let us keep our working wages.
    19
  1104. Gary, can you show some simulations what happens when the super rich pay tax on their inheritance, properties etc. to see where the money goes. Tax transparency is also an issue.
    19
  1105. Explained wonderfully once again Gary. Thanks for caring and sharing. I can't believe the BoE are increasing interest rates to combat an inflation not fuelled by luxury items, disposable income or credit, but inflation which is set squarely upon basic essentials. As if COVID wasn't mentally or financially tough enough, they will be costing more lives.
    19
  1106. Gary, how do you get passed the public apathy on finance? Your videos are great, insightful and easy to understand the complex areas of finance that you talk about . The number of views on the other hand is really low, which I find frustrating. Looking forward to the next video! TED talks next :)
    18
  1107. Great video, still shocking this isn't covered in mainstream media. Keep up the work!
    18
  1108. Your stuff is so good, Gary. Keep ‘em comin! The working class appreciates your honesty and insight.
    18
  1109. I feel his passion and care for the humanity. I’m with you Gary I’m ready to fix this inequality of wealth distribution
    18
  1110. I've got a lot of time for Gary because he can do what I can only do from a theoretical standpoint. He's lived it, knows it and tells it how it works in the world of finance. "Making it" in this world is more about who you know than what 😔 Brilliant vid, Bro 👊🏾
    18
  1111. Keep fighting the good fight Gary - people ARE LISTENING
    18
  1112. Read your book, shared your book and am grateful for all you are doing.
    18
  1113. Nice one, shared it with some mates. Could you do some videos about massive tax evasion (Pandora Papers and after...) and how this effects the economy for regular working-poor?
    18
  1114. Well done Gary
    18
  1115. All of what you say is so true. We are near retirement age and sold our larger, family home last year, using the proceeds to help our 2 daughters get a leg up towards assets of their own. It was possible because we downsized. An asset like a home means security and possibly can even help generate more income besides the usual job. We still live modestly and will hopefully be able to help them some more if times get worse. I wish this could be the case for many more people in your age group. It's important to help each other any way we can.
    18
  1116. Great videos Gary. Keep doing what you’re doing mate. People are starting to take notice 😎👍🏻
    18
  1117. Love your channel Gary! 🫶
    18
  1118. Thanks Gary for your admirable work.
    18
  1119. When i look at the real cost of my mums house in 1975 compared to today's price. Its nearly twice the cost in todays price. That means were being screwed more today than we ever have.
    18
  1120. Prime time for your message. Keep up the good work your simply brilliant. Are you the only credible person pushing this message? You need economic allies.
    18
  1121. Gary I bought The Trading Game on Friday and finished it this morning. I'm a slow reader and usually take my time with books but I couldn't put it down. It was a great read.
    18
  1122.  @cubeh8331  Money gives you power to do good or bad for society. It's easier to just maintain omerta, roll along supporting the inequality benefiting you and do nothing to change that for the greater good and the greater proportion of society. Hats off to Gary that he's chosen the righteous path which is always a very steep one.
    18
  1123. The average person experiences the opposite of compound interest. Compound debt? The interest I pay on my mortgage is obscene
    18
  1124. I had hand me downs from a rich Jewish family. I remember going around this rich person’s family home. Art work on the walls, lovely garden, obviously the work of employed gardeners. My parents are not alive now to ask the the family name. Anyway I loved the hand me down clothes, shoes and books. I had spelling books which is probably why my spelling is good today. I remember thinking as a teenager what a different life it was. The daughter had a “nose Job” as a teenager. I inherited a fuschiac pink halter neck dress made from silk. It’s strange how things stay with you. This world was introduced to me via my mother’s friend who worked for this family as a nanny. She never had children of her own but she did have a long haired Persian cat which the Jewish family had bought her. This world was introduced to me via my parents friend -a nanny to their daughter..
    18
  1125. Gary you give me hope that things can be changed, that we can mend our broken society and give our children the world they deserve. I'm looking forward to your name going down in history as the catalyst for real change. Please keep doing what you're doing ❤
    18
  1126. It's made worse because rich families protect their assets whereas ordinary people can't which means ordinary people pay tax on assets they pass on, whereas the rich don't, which is why the system is broken.
    18
  1127. Glad you're back mate.
    18
  1128. Sick. Thx 4 the guidance from North America. Shit is fucked. You cultivate a hopeful message. Looking forward to your 2023 content, grime rapper trader. Got that Novara Media interview on repeat my dude! Merry Crisis, Happy New Fear 😛🎄
    18
  1129. Fast becoming the most succinct commentary. Keep it up.
    18
  1130. Great stuff....I have just discovered this channel and it's so refreshing to get the truth of wealth inequality explained, by dare I say, "an insider". But an "insider who wants to make a difference". I have so many thoughts going through my mind right now about the future of not only my children, but humanity as a whole. I think that ordinary people have a feeling of what's going on, but are kept comfortably numb with all the distractions of needing to support themselves and their families on a day to day basis. Yet, the 1%'ers are making like the Sherriff of Nottingham...we are indeed living in "Feudal Times". I hope that this will not end in a veil of tears, but I have a foreboding that revolution is around the corner, unless the system changes and wealth redistribution can occur....i.e. cycle money.
    18
  1131. I have just preordered the book, let’s grow the supporters of this channel to much bigger numbers so it is clearly representative of the ordinary people who simply want to live and work in a fairer UK, with the help of much needed economic (and political) reform. Let’s push for reform that needn’t take decades, so that all generations see benefits in their actual lifetime.
    18
  1132. "The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich"
    18
  1133. FANTASTIC video. This needs to be part of the school curriculum.
    18
  1134. I come from a working-class family lived in a council house blue-collar worker. My son was the first person in mine and my wife’s family to go to university. He did maths at Bath first job Morgan Stanley ,commerce bank now BMP he said he is always the only one that hasn’t got wealthy parents and a posh voice
    18
  1135. Hello Gary, this is excellent. This world and its present situation simply needs more people like yourself. Thank you for enlightening us.
    18
  1136. More people need to hear this in the UK
    18
  1137. Gary for the Chancellor! I think if you went to politics it would be very beneficial. You got my vote 😉
    18
  1138. Underated channel. As someone who came from hardship and managed with a lotta luck, and a heap of hard work to get out. I appreciate a voice like yours. I see the imbalances, and its very real, and it feeds off itself.
    18
  1139. Need this man as chancellor. Quality presentation about some of the greatest fraudsters of our time. Baronesses Mone!!!
    18
  1140. Fantastic insights and a welcome change hearing a young economist speak. I am 60 and you are absolutely correct, though I do not know what constitutes rich these days, I say to my daughter if you set out to be rich in anything you will likely fail as your motivation is too narrow. Aim to be successful at something aiming for excellence in that field, and be patient. Very few people from a poor background who set out solely to be rich succeed ( you can have moments when you feel that way ). Luck plays its part, but the success part is usually incremental which is where a level of patience is required
    18
  1141. I have been telling my friends this from the moment this bill was announced, if it wasn't for this channel i wouldn't have seen it, thanks gary 🙏
    18
  1142. Kate Andrews has a philosophy and international relations degree. Her skills are in debating, not hard economics. When she said we are at the limits of taxation , i laughed out loud.
    17
  1143. honestly the most important channel for anyone living in Britain, keep moving forward brother🌟.
    17
  1144. very clear and concise. I get it now. Thank you.
    17
  1145. Fantastic to see the traction you're getting. You have a great heart for people and communicate so well.
    17
  1146. Same here. I did a search on compound interest and ended up seeing another of Gary’s videos. 3 hours later..
    17
  1147. Hi Gary, Thank you for sharing this. This resonates with me down to my very core. I have achieved a life that we are taught should afford me complete satisfaction, yet I feel an emptiness. I think this idea you speak to is why. I can’t live comfortably while knowing so many others are barely making it. Please don’t stop sharing this message. Your perspective is exactly what is needed.
    17
  1148. As always, when Gary sticks to economics he comes across as extremely strong (shocker). Another great vid, really well explained
    17
  1149. Gary!!!! That was the most compelling speech I have ever heard. You powerful to make an impact in this world. Your compassion and selflessness is refreshing. Keep fighting the good fight - your purpose is clear, you’ve won already.
    17
  1150. Strong but very true words Gary. Keep up the fight 👍🏻
    17
  1151. One of the most important voices of our lifetimes pleeese listen to all of this.
    17
  1152. YOUR WALLPAPER is exactly the same as my grandmother used to have... I'm not criticising, it's incredibly reassuring actually - life goes on - her great grandkids are growing up in a world where people still buy the same wallpaper.
    17
  1153. I'm watching Gary's videos from Tuscany, Italy. Is like having finally found someone who could explain to me in plain english the big picture, the social and economic reality in which we are all in. It goes without saying that this is bigger than UK. This inequality is sistemic and global. Here Meloni's government is a tragic joke and lot of us are feeling kinda hopeless😅
    17
  1154. I think at this point, the super rich would be OUTRAGED if they had to pay the SAME percentage as the average person. The problem is many people think they are just temporarily dispossessed millionaires and that somehow these people drive the economy.
    17
  1155. Without you educating us I think most people would bury there head in the sand. Please keep up with the videos. The country needs more people like you. 👍👍
    17
  1156. Good morning Gary. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Your wisdom and words are very relevant.
    17
  1157. When I watch this I'm simultaneously excited that someone has encapsulated the problem so clearly whilst also depressed that ever day the rich get richer the battle to rein the back becomes more difficult. Looking forward to seeing Gary live in Manchester in a couple of weeks.
    17
  1158. I’ve been feeling like a failure it’s my 38rh birthday today and I have been down and negative all day but after listening to my eyes are wide open. Thank you so much I needed to hear this!🙏🏽
    17
  1159. No rush Gary. Pace yourself and keep delivering quality thought provoking material. God bless!
    17
  1160. I've read nearly half of The Trading Game, and will probably finish it tonight. You are right- it's really good. It's better than really good- it's excellent, and it's the book that people need right now. People are fed up and they're ready to hear your message. I think you're going to hit #1, so the channel will blow up, too. Mad respect from Vermont!
    17
  1161. The way you explain economics is so straight forward and easy to understand! So many economics experts are full of jargon, making it hard for ordinary people to understand.
    17
  1162. I love this man! Straight talking,you are left in no doubt what he truly believes,not saying what will make him popular with the media.👏👏👏
    17
  1163. thank you for being real! learnt alot from your videos
    17
  1164. some of the comments on here, you would think that the billionaires of the internet all watch Garys videos? the comments from people scared that when someone says "tax the rich" they automatically think its them with their 100K savings / 400K house. your small fry mate. by not getting the super rich taxed correctly, your only empowering a government to come after your money eventually. your not even in the same pond
    17
  1165. You did amazing explaining this concept. Thank you so much for making everything so digestible
    17
  1166. Smashed it Gary, lad. Keep up the excellent work. The important economic analysis you’ve been providing in such a simplistic way is such a massive part of the current movement. Thanks, mate! I was having a think about the best possible outcome of the next GE… Imagine how amazing it would be if we got a Labour gvt with the Greens in opposition? That would, surely, push Labour to left and pressure them to do something about wealth inequality!
    17
  1167. "The economic media... it is one of the most comedic spaces I have existed in my entire life"... classic line - and disturbingly true, given the output that I read. Oh so disturbingly, depressing true, and it damages so many conversations because it's... just not even sane to begin with. Thanks Gary, so well put. I have tried to point this out to people also, based on the fact - the FACT - that the real world so often just does not relate to so much of the output, and they're looking at me like your example of when you asked the academic economist about his predictions: "I don't even know what you mean...?" Where the hell does one go with that, a rational conversation about it is just a non-starter, they can't even conceive there's anything wrong with that. I like how you recognise there are indeed obviously decent ones - because yes, there are, but make sure to focus on the overarching truth that the system itself, and this is the main issue of course, is ultimately designed so badly to start with that it ends up rewarding some very absurd people, based on the perverse incentives and broader structure it has been built upon. Discussions in the public and among the economics community itself fails, it fails particularly badly in the media, and worryingly of course that's where most people's conversations about it are informed from - and they'll make decisions on this information. This serves absolutely nobody, it just perpetuates the damage to everybody, because we've definitely so many issues we need to get right in this space. Thanks for your work to improve the conversation we can all have about it.
    17
  1168. "The hands of the many must join as one & together we'll cross the river" -- The Humbling River by Puscifer. Lovely song that came to mind when you emphasised the need to work together. There are a bunch of us out here ready to work together as others start to lose the fair of sharing. It wasn't that long ago that electrical infrastructure, postal services, etc were collectively owned, ran well, & were paid for by fairly decent tax systems (perhaps not perfect, but we can keep tweaking these things to reach our goals). We can do that again. We could even do better, if we expect better from our leadership, if we expect them to serve us while we work to support each other. What a world we could have. We need a social contract that despises corruption.
    17
  1169. Congratulations Gary on the huge growth of your channel and the book. Personally the focus of society is wrong, rich is not wealth, be rich spiritually and emotionally and you will have peace and joy.
    17
  1170. Two years ago he predicted rising inflation and the cost living crisis. And he was right. I only discovered Gary last night. The fact that he is now campaigning against inequality is commendable. I would love to know what his take is on Liz Truss, so I’m going to look that up now.
    17
  1171. This stuff needs to be taught in schools! Or at least teach your children about economics. I personally find this fascinating
    17
  1172. I love this channel, I'm always putting the word put there to subscribe. I reckon this channel will boom big time once the word gets out
    17
  1173. Geez... Your message is so important. Maybe there is nothing the average person can actually do but becoming aware has got to be the first step. Thanks Gary.
    17
  1174. Gary you are a genius! The way you are able to make each video a revelation, an epiphany is so amazing. I love your sincerity and authenticity coupled at the same time with a humility and lack of vanity which is so refreshing. You come across so frugal, almost ascetic - you are a prophet for our times. Please stay safe because people like you who are intent on true change always end up being attacked by the powers that be and end up either being destroyed or corrupted.
    17
  1175. Great video and I share your frustration. I studied economics at Manchester and one of my clearest memories of my time there is a course I did on the economics of monetary unions back in 2007. Our lecturer (Greek guy!) gave the most one sided course in favour of them - the only negative he offered was that members lost the ability to choose whose face appeared on their currency! Luckily his students didn't fall for it, at the end he asked the class who was in favour of MU and only one or two raised hands. His face fell... I did wonder how his course might have changed a year or two later after the way Greece got punished with austerity by the Eurozone... Based on what you experienced, perhaps it didn't change as much as I thought it may have!
    17
  1176. The “what would you do” to “what do you do” is powerful
    17
  1177. Top stuff as usual. I interviewed prominent Labour MP and asked about a wealth tax and he started freaking out how would it work/who would be taxed - I said in principle and he jabbered about being practical. Until we get rid of the current crop leading the Labour Party nish is gona change
    17
  1178. Morning Gary. First time seeing the video, it's full of passion, it's direct and your saying it how it is. Always about the substance not how you come a cross
    17
  1179. At approx 10:00, Gary basically describes a "paradigm" with everything travelling around the earth. Copernicus begins a "paradigm shift" towards the understanding the earth travels around the sun. Very likely a paradigm shift in economics is underway towards an understanding that inequality (distribution) is AT LEAST important as GDP, unemployment etc. But the funny thing about paradigm shifts is they are as political as they are scientific: there is a huge amount invested in maintaining the old paradigm. Lots of people, as Gary described, with vested interests in maintaining the status quo.
    17
  1180. Stumbled on your interview (different channel) & then found the LBC interview...now I'm here. I won't lie: It's REALLY difficult hearing the things you say - especially about the decline of the world as we know it. But what keeps me hopeful is that fact that there's a caveat: This will continue to happen IF WE DO NOTHING TO CHANGE IT. So happy that someone who understands the game is out here trying to educate the ordinary person about their TRUE place in making change. I'm officially a new subscriber & hopefully you can come down to South Africa (which is where I'm from) and give a talk - especially to the banking & wealthy crowd who often have violent allergies to the idea of taxing the wealthy as a mechanism for closing the inequality gap. This is a particularly important conversation, given that I live in THE most unequal country in the world.
    17
  1181. Bang on. I feel that the question "How can I be rich?" Is the wrong question. The real question is how do we enrich our lives without the need to be rich. And the answer to that question is by building communities that can support each other.
    17
  1182. just realised the significance of the jumper.. lol, nice one.
    17
  1183. Christ this is good. If you had a company working towards these goals (lobbying for and achieving a fairer tax system and a wealth/LVT) I'd wanna work for you! Keep it up mate. This is essential
    17
  1184. It is working Gary, for them. To move in your chair, you have to be uncomfortable, otherwise you don't move.
    17
  1185. Please don't stop what you are doing. These messages need to be spread everywhere.
    17
  1186. Gary we are 100% behind you. Hate to say it but I agree that things will get a lot worse for people before they get better. And as people become more and more disaffected, they will search more for solutions and I think that's when you'll get a big explosion in subs on this channel (and hopefully more of a "movement"). Unfortunately you're right though - this is not a short term thing. I still think we should write to our MPs and in that way, do you think if you made a form letter for all of us to send, that it would help? Or is that possibly something for down the track? Meanwhile, I am doing all I can to spread the word. I've gotta say too, the way I think about government spending announcements has completely changed thanks to you. I mean, this £2bn "levelling up fund" they just announced isn't going to help us either. I always knew that on some level but now I can see the bigger picture and understand why. People need to question who is going to receive and benefit from that £2bn, and what the wider implications will be for us. Can't wait for the book either - I certainly will be buying it! 💛💛💛💛💛
    17
  1187. Such a amazing teacher. I've watched my way through most of the old videos but I still learn something new every week from Gary!
    16
  1188. I’m obsessed with your channel !!!
    16
  1189. Read your book while you were away. Couldn't put it down. Superb.
    16
  1190. My new favourite channel! Just bought your book.
    16
  1191. The richest PM in government will never tax the rich because they are his peers and his mates
    16
  1192. BRO.. this should be compulsory watching for ALL teens and parents of children... have you thought of teaching this in schools?
    16
  1193. Loved your book gary!
    16
  1194. started of not diggin your vids and thought you were a woke lefty but vid on vid the penny is dropping and Im with you. Thank you for the content.
    16
  1195. @garyseconomics could you start linking to mentioned previous videos in the description please? I always find that helpful & a bit of an ease of use motivator when someone mentions a previous video and says there's a link in the description down below. Thanks for everything you're doing! 🙂
    16
  1196. Not only are universities distracting economics students with speculative math models, they also conveniently omit to teach the history of economics, entrenching groupthink that only the current neoliberal model is valid. This is not a coincidence. Follow the money!
    16
  1197. Such a good video again. Every time, I realise I understand how things work to a certain extent but not fully!
    16
  1198. Just finished the book as well, first time reading a book so fast, incredible
    16
  1199. Sunday mornings are now coffee and Gary's economics
    16
  1200. So these economists spend decades making fancy, highly complex mathematical models, but all they can talk about is just interest rates and nothing else, without questioning their assumptions or providing any nuance. Weird, isn't it
    16
  1201. Just read the article you're in. Absolutely 100% correct about how capitalism is just slowly rotting into feudalism.
    16
  1202. Nice Gazza (Australian for Gary)... Really love your drive to educate matey.
    16
  1203. Speaking complete sense again. Good man. People's lives are what matter. We are now in a situation where you can have a good job and not have a decent livelihood. Many years ago with house prices rising so fast I used to think we would wind up in a situation where you could have a job and be on the streets. I hate to say that's how it's going
    16
  1204. Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for your work Gary, everybody needs to hear your words.
    16
  1205. You, Gary, are part of the anti-growth coalition. Grow the pie 😀. But seriously, keep up the good work and messaging about growing inequality
    16
  1206. Thanks for posting this Gary!! Keep on shouting out!!
    16
  1207. Gary thanks for sharing what you're doing. I'm glad you are back. Keep going your voice is important .
    16
  1208. Thanks for this video Gary. I'll keep engaging as long as you keep making them. We've gotta get this message out and save this generation somehow. Personally I won't be voting for another politician that doesn't have equality of taxation/wealth tax on the agenda.
    16
  1209. Now who invented Bitcoin? Nobody knows so that tells me someone one has built the biggest ever Ponzi scheme? Time will tell but I never fell for it. Gary tells it as it is. For the record I grew up like him youngest of six in a London council house paper round at 14 and Saturday job and then full time work at 16 and still going hard at 52 never giving up. Never went to university but not for everyone I work hard and always will do keep up the good work Gary 👍😊
    16
  1210. Everyone needs to hear this. Really eye-opening... keep it up mate!
    16
  1211. You're an amazing YouTube channel🎉 Highly appreciate these videos, you put into words things that I've been seeing in the street for a while now
    16
  1212. Have you been approached by Enough is Enough?
    16
  1213. Sounds like someone should do a Phd developing a model that includes inequality.
    16
  1214. I think this is the finest Gary video to date 💯
    16
  1215. Fan from America. Clear, consist, logical. Thank you 🙏 Gary. Very informative, wish more people could realize how impactful this information is
    16
  1216. Keep up the great work, Gary.
    16
  1217. Found this channel yesterday and every video has blown my mind. Much respect to this man.
    16
  1218. You’re a shining light Gary.
    16
  1219. You must Keep emphasising that doctors entrepreneurs etc are not the enemy, keep the focus on the super rich. All the resistance I come across during such conversations is people in professional jobs thinking they are the target. You win these minds and you will have a majority on your side.
    16
  1220. Subscribed. I saw you on Politics Joe. You are a good man with a social conscience. Your knowledge of money and trends and, above all, your patriotism does you proud.
    16
  1221. If you agree with Gary please share this video everywhere you can please
    15
  1222. Absolutely love it Gary!!
    15
  1223. Nicely explained Gary. Now we know we're trapped, what can we do?
    15
  1224. SERIOUSLY, how have you only got 3.56k Subscriber's. Clarity. Exactly what people need.
    15
  1225. This is one of the most honest videos I have watched recently.
    15
  1226. Hi Gary, Really appreciate what you’re trying to do here. Wishing you every success in getting the message out there. Cheers.
    15
  1227. Found your channel through the conversation of money podcast that you were recently on. It's refreshing to hear people like yourself and Peter talk about finance and make it much more understandable. If only you guys were about when I was younger... but it's never too late to relook at your finances!
    15
  1228. Just wanted to swing by and say thanks so much for Glasgow tonight, Gary. You were fantastically lucid and spot on with your diagnoses of what ails our society. The whole crowd loved it! You spoke a lot about solidarity and strength in numbers being our only defence. Well, I'm aboard - let's build a movement brother!
    15
  1229. If you want funding get in touch with trade unions, they could also help in getting your message out there. Enjoy your holiday.
    15
  1230. Circle and line explanation was very good. Smart people can tell complex things in a simple way. 👍
    15
  1231. Ok Gary, you are the smartest person in the world, the best trader who ever lived, and the only one who really knows what is going on
    15
  1232. I still cannot believe that you have not grown this channel exponentially. Are the public soo blind. This is worse than the poll tax.
    15
  1233. Man’s speaking truth. Came to this realization a while back.
    15
  1234. Thanks Gary, I’m sharing this with friends and family, especially our children. The message at the end is everything.
    15
  1235. Rory Stewart and Irvine Welsh recommend it.
    15
  1236. Your videos are some of the most important content online at the moment. The more I watch these the more I can't help thinking current politics make more sense if I view politicians not as public servants but as a venture capital firm. Recent choices of relentlessly creating incredible debt on our finances, breaking up our national assets and buying them back whilst simultaneously creating wealth tax avoidance structures, will eventually and inevitably bankrupt us. But of course they are the ones indirectly or directly benefiting from the break up and leveraging (them, their friends, their social class). I've been a bit slow to realise this but thank you Gary for making it so unavoidably obvious!
    15
  1237. I just stumbled across your video and was overjoyed to see someone speaking the truth about economics. Thanks so much Gary, and I hope someone in Australia will do the same for us Aussies.💖
    15
  1238. Such a good soul you have. Thanks for sharing.
    15
  1239. I'm sharing the hell out of this guy.
    15
  1240. Welcome back Gary, can’t wait to see how things progress. Glad you feel you’ve got your ducks in a row - sure you’ll make the best of this opportunity to do some good!
    15
  1241. Your honesty is so refreshing in times when our politicians only feed us lies and what's worse, believe they can get away with it. Unfortunately a lot of people don't want to hear such honesty and hard talk, so it's gonna have to get worse before they're prepared to wake up. I appreciate your sincerity and authenticity so please stay for the long haul and above all, stay safe.
    15
  1242. Ignorance ain’t bliss when you’re on your arse, broke as a joke! “That’s your GDP” I agree, glad we have you Gary!
    15
  1243. I haven’t heard ANYONE out there who’s got the guts to call out ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ the way you have in this video. I’m literally telling everyone I know to watch your videos… Even saving ten grand takes SO long… and do you want to gamble with all that time and effort?…. And even if you do, you’ll be gambling very well if you get five hundred quid out of it. It’s more basic than GCSE maths!!!! So why is no one shouting this out loud?? The internet is drowning in people trying to sell you schemes to make 5K, 10k a month…. Like you said Gary, it isn’t like the most exciting thing to say… but when you see stuff t like that, the maths doesn’t work. Thanks for your campaign. I’m definitely shouting out your message.
    15
  1244.  @garyseconomics  thanks Gary!
    15
  1245. You need to be on tv more getting the message out so the Tory’s can’t hide from it.
    15
  1246. I saw you on BBC documentary about how the rich got richer. You sound great in that and in this video. Thank you so much for making it.
    15
  1247. You bring us a fascinating insight into vital parts of our society that most of us could neither gain entry into, nor have the knowledge to be able to understand and identify the dynamics that you describe. I like to think most people are open to and desire growth and improvements, but there are the forces or incentivization that you describe as well as the friction between the challenges of change or the comfort of the status quo.
    15
  1248. Welcome back, Gary! I only discovered you a month ago and you've been saying thinks I've had in my head for 20 years... just from a different angle. I've been scouring for something new every few days and here you are! Meri Kirihimete 🎅 best prez ever.
    15
  1249. I really enjoy this channel. It is a single "voice" that cuts through modern economics (weve never had a fiat money supply used across the globe before). It pulls together so many themes and influences, and crucially it aligns with what i see with my eyes and what i hear with my own ears. It is genuinely 'educational', so thank you.
    15
  1250. too damn true - fundamentally broken system. Thanks Gary - you give me some hope...
    15
  1251. Love Gary, love his content, love him even more after seeing the studio ghibli hoodie, keep it up 🙏🏻
    15
  1252. Those on the ground, with lived experiences, the intelligence and knowledge, need to stop seeking the approval from those who are ignorant and or entitled. People like you Gary have more leverage and power to make change.
    15
  1253. Thank u Gary for educating us on just how unfair and rancid the system had got, you could’ve ignored this and got on with your privileged and comfortable life. Thank u for looking out for the little man.
    15
  1254. I've missed Gary. Great news!
    15
  1255. Thanks so much Gary. U tell us the truth of economics in the world nowadays.
    15
  1256. Your channel is one of my new favourites. Keep up the good work, thanks
    15
  1257. Great video Gary, thanks for continuing to push through despite being attacked from all sides!
    15
  1258. Thanks, Gary, you're giving a voice to millions of people who are denied one
    15
  1259. American viewer here and you have ALL my support 💪 loving all of this!!!! Let’s goooo we need to unite!
    15
  1260. killing it gazza . hope your momentum keeps growing . wealth inequality is really the most uphill of struggles , so an authentic voice of clarity from someone who has seen both sides is vital I would think . keep on preaching brother 🙏
    15
  1261. We need to see you on the main channels talking about this a lot more. Question Time would be good. I posted this on my Facebook now. 👍🏾
    15
  1262. Came here directly from David Pakman's channel and subscribed. Both outstanding interviews. Good job Diana & Gary!
    15
  1263. I'd love to see you have a talk with Mick Lynch, talking about what people can do. 🤞
    15
  1264. Thanks, you guys are great! This is a unique and important channel. We really appreciate you🙌
    15
  1265. Listened to the audio book, it was an excellent book. Honestly loved the bits describing Japan.
    15
  1266. For all you people crying about him not using any numbers: he just told you the point isn't immigration. Not more, not less. The point is that whether it's an issue or not it's being used to distract you from what is surely a problem: the vast wealth inequality. Here's a bold concept, if the rich weren't hoarding all the wealth and all the opportunities then there would be enough for you AND the immigrants...
    14
  1267. Also thanks Gary! This is an immensely important message and your ability to clearly articulate the issue while also pushing to an emphatic and thoughtful solution is masterful.
    14
  1268. Thank you Steph and Gary, you are both modern day heroes. 😎
    14
  1269. Same thing is happening over in the States. It's infuriating how the one thing that will fix this crisis is the last thing the government is willing to do.
    14
  1270. 👍👍👍amazing content.
    14
  1271. Absolutely true. I am proud of you for keeping to your morals.
    14
  1272. Moral of the story: If the other Prisoner is an economist, then you are screwed 😂
    14
  1273. Excited to hear there's a book on the way! I will preorder a copy for certain
    14
  1274. INCREDIBLE video. Thank you so much for doing this and spreading the word. I'll be forwarding this.
    14
  1275. Linking people to this any time they ask me (an economist, emphatically NOT a trader) if I can help them with their investments and finances.
    14
  1276. Thank you for continuing to spread this message.
    14
  1277. Realised this whilst reading economics at Manchester Uni in the early 90s. Back then Yuppies were celebrated and greed was good, my heart was broken at the indifference that systemic poverty inflicted on billions of people. Gary's book is brilliant and just on time to give voice to the disaffection the majority have with the current social/economic/political climate. Change is inevitable. We are the people, we have the numbers, we have the power.
    14
  1278. Thank you for sharing such valuable information in a way that is understandable & relatable to the average person. Sharing your work & videos with my kids (in their early 20’s) has opened up some great discussions, so thank you & keep going ❤
    14
  1279. Thank you for being you Gary. The work you do and Information that you share is invaluable. Your consistent connection to your roots, and your uncompromisable ethics and morals are refreshing. I also grew up in a single parent family on benefits in poverty. I also know who I am,and where I came from, and have never lost that. There is so much suffering right now it breaks my heart every day in my work, but I never let it break me as I must strive to make things better. We share that goal. Thank you again. You have a book sale 🙂 Merry Christmas xxxx
    14
  1280. The bank of mom and dad. Young people generally are not that interested in politics, and who can blame them. Older, more experienced voters know this and they will not vote for something that disenfranchise's their interests in favour of the younger generation however appealing it might be. The media mostly act like sheep and very few journalists out there are independent of the mainstream political consensus. It's a big problem but thankfully there are people like Gary who are challenging the status quo and not just asking the hard questions but proposing solutions to address wealth inequality, the scourge of our time.
    14
  1281. Welcome back Gary, we've missed you and your wisdom!! xx
    14
  1282. Keep going, Gary, it’s plain to see the sacrifices demanded of you to bring your voice and knowledge to the masses. Unfortunately, it’s also apparent, we need you to keep pushing on as not many in your situation are willing or able to understand and disseminate information in a way that will help. So for a start, thank you.
    14
  1283. Plus Economics is becoming a more and more elite subject, only taught in certain schools. A terrific way to stratify society further.
    14
  1284. Ooohhh! She said grow the pie! She sounds like Truss too! Where do they get these people?!
    14
  1285. Gary you are a breath of fresh air - thank you.
    14
  1286. I remember the first (and only) dinner party I went to in the 80's, everyone was talking about property prices and how marvellous it was that the prices were rising quickly- I said "so you don't need to live somewhere then?" they said what do you mean? I said the increase in property prices is academic unless you are downsizing, moving out of London or going to live on your Mum's sofa-I was shot down in flames, but it was true then and is still true now.
    14
  1287. Thank you, Gary ❤ Especially for not reducing these important ideas to thirty second sound bites. I look forward to reading your book! Take care and stay well ❤
    14
  1288. Thanks Gary 🙏🏾
    14
  1289. Novara Media 👍+ Gary Stevenson 🙌
    14
  1290. Gary, I consider myself someone who is for the most part, wholly-uneducated and at times woefully ignorant about the economy, admittedly because I've been fortunate enough that throughout my life, my family has had enough income to shield us from the worst of the cost-of-living crisis. I want to thank you about the moment of clarity that I gained from you when you mentioned that money is not real assets, but instead defines who has access to the real assets, the houses, the food, the resources etc. Even graduating from Cambridge (though not for anything Econ related), I'm enough of a dumbass that the thought never crossed my mind. Your presentation is clear and to the point, and it's never been more necessary. Thanks for educating me, and I hope your message eventually reaches the ears that it needs to reach in our government. We're genuinely fucked otherwise.
    14
  1291. Happy New Year 🥳. Thanks for the video
    14
  1292. It would have been fascinating to hear your opinion on the british public school system as a mechanism the upper class use to deal power to themselves. For example the days of entering a media organisation as a junior journalist and working your way up seem dead when 80% of MSM journalists in the UK are public school educated. Also most of the top public schools are charities and so pay fuck all tax! (Basically a public subsidy) It would be great to hear your view on the intersection of the POLITICS of class (Public schools, overnight hike of tuition fees, gig economy and precarity of work, all 5 major newspapers for the first time ever aligning against the only socialist candidate for prime minister in for decades for the first time in 2019) with the economics
    14
  1293. Wish you were the chancellor, this government scares the life out of me. I worked for 11 years driving hgvs until my mental health got so bad I had a breakdown and my employer rather than help me sacked me instead. This made it worse and I'm now classed as disabled due to my mental health illness. I live in fear of the dwp daily and living in the private sector rented flat my landlord put my rent up by an extra £100 a month which housing benefit won't cover so it comes out of my disability benefits. I'm on Esa and pip so had no extra support through covid. I was in hospital 2 years ago with sepsis in intensive care and because I forgot to tell the dwp I was in hospital i had a £600 deduction. There's not a day goes by I don't wish I was able to work I've got family in the haulage industry who say there's a job waiting for me but my illness won't let me work my mental health drs say I can't work but I feel this government is just punishing people like me.
    14
  1294. So polite no f bombing 😂 this time Gary ! Seriously this is your time, all power to you your book your message ... Watched you way back on Channel 5 with Brian Cox so glad this movements building up Everyone's sick of the system, it needs changing and we're all with you & behind you ! Sure your book will hit can't wait 🙌
    14
  1295. “Tell your friends, tell your mum.” is definitely the best YouTube sign off out there - might borrow that at some point.
    14
  1296. It's how you define rich ( in life ) really, it's not all about having tons of money.
    14
  1297. gary your rhetoric is so on point dude, you give me hope, can't wait to see your message continue to grow to the point of restoring balance to taxation systems, thanks for your work dude
    14
  1298. I’m half way through this guys book now. It’s absolutely mind blowing and I honestly can’t put it down, I’m either lol’ing or just silent is disbelief at how it all operates. Plus watching these videos you realise he’s such a nice, humble fella. Well done.
    14
  1299. One thing i would add, is that unfortunately big corporations have their say on what goes on inside the government which makes it not an easy task to tax the rich.
    14
  1300. Take a break and enjoy your holiday! You have worked so hard in building this community and you definitely need more support including financial for it to grow! I hope to see this community eventually support itself and it is possible! I'm so proud of you and how far this channel has come! I know it's hard times right now for us all, but your channel gave me hope for the first time in a very long time! I know this is hard work in the times we live in, and am grateful to you for doing it! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺♥️
    14
  1301. First time I'm hearing we're on the way to a "developing countries" model. Been saying it pretty much since COVID or a bit earlier when people on social media ask how much worse it can get in terms of expansion of poverty.
    14
  1302. Me too are you thinking that we are in the minority then?
    14
  1303. Me too. Is there something unusual about that 🤔
    14
  1304. "A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved"—you're doing important work by spreading this message in the way you do Gary. It gives form to what so many of us intuit. In the end, refusing clear incentive structures is the only way to push society forward into something better
    14
  1305. Really loving these videos. Would love to hear your analysis of how each party reinforces or tackles the underlying problem.
    14
  1306. Top-drawer, as always. LEGEND
    14
  1307. If you're reading this Gary, I'd like to say thank you. I've been struggling with a lot this year and I feel more and more that the public are becoming polarised and distracted from the real problems we face. I found your channel before the election and watched as your predictions came true. Our politics is run by a kakistocracy of people who either don't know what they're doing or doing whatever they can to preserve the status quo as it crumbles beneath their feet. Your channel has helped me craft a more informed view of how the economy works and I'm glad to see that there's one person out there who has seen the system for what it really is and has the desire to change things for the better. Glad you had a chance to have a break and I can't wait to see what you have planned for 2025.
    14
  1308. Stephanie is amazing. Gary please give her a regular spot to explain the privileges and access to tax efficiencies that the seriously rich have....ie Family Trusts, Offshoring, Family Offices, EIS, Dutch Sandwich, Debt Leverage, Build To Rent schemes etc etc etc
    14
  1309. This just made me realise, my provider (Octopus Energy) has started a scheme to reduce usage during peak periods where you can get paid a small amount, if you manage to use less. Now as you said, rich people probably wouldn't give a toss about saving energy during that peak period, as the reward is nothing to them. However poorer families will most likely sign up and participate as the savings (only £100 max over a few months really, if you manage to use less during that period) aren't neglible to them. So effectively the poorer families end up adjusting their habits whilst the rich do F-all. Pretty sad but eye opening now you've mentioned the difference.
    14
  1310. I've been living undrer a rock - just found this channel.. I recall my house in clapham shaking as the train went by.. had no idea how poor we were..
    14
  1311. Your vids are 100% suppressed by youtube no question
    14
  1312. Love the way you break everything down and make it easy to understand, doing an awesome job guys!
    14
  1313. Love your videos man, and LOVE your ATTITUDE ! Stay strong bro !
    14
  1314. That’s a pre-order from me. If a book on your story is the springboard that pushes your narrative into the mainstream I have to support that.
    14
  1315. I heard you on Newscast and found your channel here. Thanks for your video, as an "ordinary person" with some savings it's nice to get some advice on how safeguard it. I like your video style too, very easy to listen to and understand!
    14
  1316. LOVE YOU!!!
    14
  1317. You are a beacon of light in a world full of darkness, thanks for your courage!
    14
  1318. I am Australian, and I almost wept with joy at your honest and brave commentary.
    14
  1319. I'd love to see Rishi Sunak on this channel in your living room. Just Rishi and you. No minders, no ear messages, no autocue😂
    14
  1320. Good on ya m8. Thank you for the content and the time you take to make it for us.
    14
  1321. Thanks for the wake up call.
    14
  1322. I'm glad you're sharing your story, and glad you feel called to take action. It is isolating watching the world collapse, being surrounded by people who are either incapable or unwilling to face the problems head on. Your channel is inspiring, and a reminder that we are not alone in thinking about these problems. We will fix this!! ✊️
    14
  1323. Another great interview 🙂
    13
  1324. I am soo grateful that I found you and your channel. Its taught me soo much about the economy, most of which I was never taught in school and I wonder why that was? Its also helped me to be kinder to myself and not feel guilty about not being able to afford things like property, assets or an impressive stock portfolio. I wish you had a bigger audience but just know that the impact and help your content has provided for me and even if I was the only one who watched and learnt, that truly counts for something.
    13
  1325. Just finished your book Gary - hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure. Keep fighting the good fight💪
    13
  1326. Great video. Learning all the time Gary.
    13
  1327. Great book! Really enjoyable and informative read! The messaging now about the our growing and economically damaging wealth inequality in the UK is hugely important.
    13
  1328. Good morning Gary from San Francisco California
    13
  1329. One of your best videos to date, Gary, brilliant exposition: the argument is in-depth, and the inference is very clear for your simple conclusion. Best I've ever heard it spelled out, this should be seen by millions.
    13
  1330. Nice one Gary 👌🏽
    13
  1331. You can't move land offshore, and is where most unearned wealth is tied-up. Tax land.
    13
  1332. I love waking up to Gary on a Sunday.
    13
  1333. Hes back 😎😎
    13
  1334. Yes Gary, Thanks for the share. I loved your fire-shot statements in the tax section and falling living standards. Keep up the great work and sharing these videos.
    13
  1335. I've watched quite a few of your videos now. A few conclusions: 1) Unfortunately, I've not seen anyone comment on why you are wrong. It would be nice to see that as it would give a bit more hope that there are other ways to repair the situation. 2) Your presentation and explanation skills are excellent, if you want it, I think you have an amazing future helping and empowering people by making complex situations understandable to them. 3) I think you made money and are able to explain this situation precisely because you have an amazing ability to simplify. This might not sound like much of a compliment but understanding incredible complexity and reducing it to understandable simplicity is an incredibly rare and valuable skill. Makes me think of people like Richard Feynman. 4) I think what you're doing is commendable. You are helping everyone that sees your videos. Please keep at it!
    13
  1336. It was a pleasure to here you on lbc and and even more inspiring finding your channel and videos! You're of great benefit to the society please keep up the good work 👍 👏
    13
  1337. Brilliant explanation, I applaud you, Gary👏🏻 Also, I've just bought your audiobook, looking forward to listen to it. People like you are much needed these days: educated, experienced and willing to put their knowledge to make this country a better place
    13
  1338. Wow, my eyes have been opened! I never knew about any of this stuff! Thank you ❤️
    13
  1339. Thank you Gary
    13
  1340. Keep up the good work Gary. We need to see you on mainstream media more. Would be great to have you pen a few articles in the right wing press
    13
  1341. Really love your economic analysis. I did economics at A level and considered quiet successful compared to the people I grew up with in relative poverty, own my business and would be considered middle class on income scale. These mistakes for me go back to 2008 a time I was going to go to university but went the following year. The government has made huge mistakes time and time again over distribution of wealth and there will be a tipping point either in new government or revolution etc. Because of the government debt I think the bank of England is limited on how much it can raise the base rate to combat inflation, as I believe Western economies, especially the UK will be at risk of default. I do not see government debts ever being paid back under the current economic model unless they tax wealth and nationalise things like energy and use those profits for public services and social homes etc. I believe we are at the later stages of capitalism and the only way to save it is a dramatic re-distribution of wealth through taxation and nationalising many industry's and sectors including commercial banking. Money does not act like it, is suppose to in economics books under the free market model, it does not efficiently allocate scarce resources to those who need it most, liberal capitalism could never work because its built on flawd principles. Keep up the good work enjoyed your Novara media interview!
    13
  1342. Whilst studying undergrad economics modules at LSE, I couldn't believe that there was such little regard given to human beings, and other economic theories outside of neo-liberalism. It made me feel so uncomfortable. For better or worse it totally turned me off working in the city and after a number of years in civil service research I eventually became a physio in the NHS. Poorer - yes, happier/healthier - I'd like to think so.
    13
  1343. Thanks for all your hard work this year Gary. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas. Best wishes from Scotland chief.
    13
  1344. Ah I was going to comment that when you talked to Hasan you mentioned talking to Gary. I really hope you guys can make a form of loose "content house" franchise becasue independant media IS where things are going. I really think Gary could become our Hasan or if not at least accelerate someone like your self for it. I was all in on Novara but they've had some unfortuate TYT style takes recently that indicate their professionalism and "centrist both sides-ism is sometimes valid" may neutralise them when push comes to shove and Reform are big.
    13
  1345. Another banger! keep up the good fight Gary 👍🏾
    13
  1346. One of the most damaging things about England is the separation of the classes. It’s immoral. People make all kinds of assumptions about me based on my posh accent - we’re all just people. And we need to be moving together so we can learn from one another. It’s like apartied segregation. I hope labour abolishes it but I don’t hold out much hope. I’m sick of the same fools that went to private schools being in power - we need people like Gary who actually know what they are talking about.
    13
  1347. Great video man, massive props to what you’re doing especially highlighting where you were from and what you’ve achieved. I work at a university and some of the students that I deal with come from backgrounds similar to yourself and I, I’ve always said to them you can achieve your goals if you truly want it regardless of where you are from. It’s good to see you haven’t forgotten your routes, many times I’ve seen people move on, forgetting where they are from. I’m of the mindset always remember and appreciate where you grew up, you may go onto better things but you never know when things can turn out for the worse.
    13
  1348. Love you Gary. Thanks for giving us some sane alternatives.🥰
    13
  1349. I first found out about you through your interview with James O’Brien. Thank you so much for all of the absolutely amazing content you are providing. Everything you are talking about is exactly what I am fascinated, and you elaborated in the way a simpleton such as myself can understand. I’ve been on a small property journey, and it’s not been as lucrative as I thought it would, and this explains everything perfectly. I’ve even decided to take a house off the market and keep hold, hoping it will go up in the future. Regardless of anything, the education you are providing is 2nd to none and I really appreciate it. Keep it coming. Best regards, Henry from Norwich.
    13
  1350. Buying Gold
    13
  1351. I just preordered your book. Please keep up the top notch work!
    13
  1352. Commenting for the algorithm. Great job Gary, as always.
    13
  1353. Happy Anniversary 😊💐👏👍

  1354. Tax the ultra wealthy and close the loopholes Gary you are awesome ❤
    13
  1355. Really interesting. Makes so much sense now. House prices keep going up, people borrow more money, and then pay more and more interest.
    13
  1356. Gary ,love your content after 30 years of trying to get this message home from the the point of view of a peasant,you have the privilege of a millionaire ,young people need leadership ,please continue your efforts ❤❤❤
    13
  1357. So good to have you back posting content, not just content, but a rational narrative with a well explained, logical thought process.
    13
  1358. at uni here in germany it was more or less the same even 30 years ago i think they know that they don't make predictions but give reasons, arguments to follow a policy which benefits the rich, the powerful! looking forward to your next videos!!! thank you.
    13
  1359. Epicycles, within epicycles, within epicycles. I like your analogy very much. Makes sense.
    13
  1360. I really enjoy your videos. You are a gift to us all. As investors and startups clamour to create system change and new models for net zero living, can’t help but see how invaluable you would be in the middle of that endeavour. Do you do live chats? Would be great to get a conversation going on this...
    13
  1361. Thanks Gary, I was really struggling to carve out a path to success for myself, but your video reframed things very helpfully for me. Ever since I tried having rich parents, it’s been win after win, and I’m very grateful. I think more people need to hear this message and try it for themselves.
    13
  1362. Kim Stanley Robinson calls economics right: 'the whole field and discipline of economics, by which we plan and justify what we do as a society, is simply riddled with absences, contradictions, logical flaws, and most important of all, false axioms and false goals.' xx
    13
  1363. Thanks for the video. This journey you are on is a marathon, not a sprint. I will do my bit to spread the message and your videos to my friends and family. Keep up the great work as always.
    13
  1364. No lies where told in this video! I’m in Australia and felt this so much! ❤
    13
  1365. Happy holiday, Gary, and thank you.
    13
  1366. The point is not just about being rich. Most of us would be happy to have enough to get the basic things in life.
    13
  1367. Always in a language I understand. You’re a diamond Gary ty.
    13
  1368. In my 70's, from a working class background, with schooling to secondary level. I have an interest in politics and have been trying to understand money, both fiat and crypto. I understand that there is inequality and it's getting worse. I also understand that governments don't want to tax the wealthy proportionately. This leaves higher percentage of the population to fund much of the burden, with more of their income. Briefly, I knew some people, that sold their business and move abroad, to more tax advantageous countries. The reason non dom tax changes saw people leaving the UK. How does the country level up equality, if this is going to be the case? Gary, thank you for helping me to understand.
    13
  1369. i’m 17 and i recommend your channel to all my close friends, you’re the only source of economic advice that feels genuine and understanding. I hope you don’t get demotivated any time soon, i really appreciate the time it must take to help us out, thanks Gary.
    13
  1370. Thank you for sharing this, Gary, most of us are woefully ignorant of what economists and the corporations they serve have been up to all these years.
    13
  1371. The carbon dividend scheme you talk about sounds far too sensible for our government to introduce, not to mention it doesn't sound like a good business scheme to line their pockets. Tweeted it to Rishi Sunak and Nicola Sturgeon anyway.
    13
  1372. Much love Gary. From one East LDNer to another. Your personal story resonates with me, and your heart and love for others is what the struggle is about. You are a leader. “To surmount the situation of oppression, people must first critically recognise it’s causes, so that through transforming action they can create a new situation, one which makes possible the pursuit of a fuller humanity. But the struggle to be more fully human has already begun in the authentic struggle to transform the situation. Although the situation of oppression is a dehumanised and dehumanising totality affecting both the oppressors and those whom they oppress, it is the latter who must, from their stifled humanity, wage for both the struggle for a fuller humanity; the oppressor, who is himself dehumanised because he dehumanises others, is unable to lead this struggle.” - Paulo Freiré - Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Big up and enjoy that bike ride 🇯🇵👊❤️
    13
  1373. Gary you are a unique person, there are a few like you in this world and many of us lesser people who support you, know what a mountain there is to climb. Be kind to yourself, you are already working wonders. One drop in the pool send out thousands and thousands of ripples. Your advice re education and community is the way!
    13
  1374. Man you need more love, keep up the good work Gary!
    13
  1375. Thank you for helping us.
    12
  1376. Hi Gary, Thanks for this insightful conversation. I am so happy to have connected with you on Facebook or I would have been oblivious to that programme on Tuesday night. I watch you mostly on Youtube and maybe others do, too. Maybe put a youtube notice so followers on that platform are aware on that great programme, too. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your wisdom and letting us become financially literate regardless of your background and education. Cannot wait for part 2 on Tuesday
    12
  1377. The biggest direct hit yet Gary. Your becoming more credible in the media mate. Keep going one day you will be a Lord lol
    12
  1378. I listened to Gary on Radio 4 today. I applaud you for your grit, perseverance, and well deserved success. I'm here to check out your videos!
    12
  1379. No offense, but please don't use words like "destroy" or "smash" or whatever when talking about political discussions. It's only gonna make you look like those Ben Shapiro clowns.....
    12
  1380. Welcome back Gary! We need you for a fairer and better world! ❤
    12
  1381. The book, "Fooled by Randomness" explains quite a lot about the markets, success (or perceived success), debt, and most of all, "noise". Your videos are absolutely amazing, Gary! Thank you for your insights!
    12
  1382. Gary what a service you are doing. Loving it, really helps alongside other channels put all the pieces together. Thanks mate you're a star✌
    12
  1383. Indeed, that was sensational. Remember not to try to save the whole world, as that will crush you and help nobody. Let others help.
    12
  1384. Hi, Gary! Hope youre doing well. Im a phd econ student from pakistan. Your videos are a treasure trove. Youre appreciated and heard all over the world.
    12
  1385. This is a great interview! I like the questions this lady asked
    12
  1386.  @garyseconomics  How do we get the wealthy Tories to vote against their own interests? As far as I can see their entire raison d'etre is to transfer our cash and public money to the rich.
    12
  1387. Be great to see some of your cycle trip too . I hope you travel safely and enjoy your trip
    12
  1388. Gary, You are the voice of the people. Much love❤
    12
  1389. I will share as much as possible. It would be really good if you could contact the charity turn2us , I think it would be beneficial for both of you to work together. I will now go share this video for the next 30 mins . I hope it gets more views for you. Thank you for doing this. I would so love to her you call in on the LBC James O’Brian so the next time he does a call in on economics. He get 1 million listeners each day and I think it would be very easy for you to promote your channel on there.
    12
  1390. Great video. I grew up a few streets down from you. Used to cross that bridge twice a day - mum and dad called it Plesseys' Bridge, as there was a factory at the north end, where the housing estate is now.
    12
  1391. Love the comment about accent ,mine is rural Devonshire dialect 😂of farming background .Farmers are being put in a difficult situation because I’m aware that higher food prices hits the less well off first 🤷
    12
  1392. Good to have you back Gary - the fight goes on - we have made some progress- I have noticed some main stream politicians bringing your theory to the table in various political television debates- progress indeed !!
    12
  1393. Late to the party, Gary Stevenson you are amazing. Keep it up!
    12
  1394. This is my favourite video you have made. I’m a financial advisers and the younger people I help all talk about crypto and I always say I’ll never invest a penny in crypto because of all the risks you highlight. Really great video Gary keep them coming you getting across a message that elites don’t want people to hear. And you’re doing it in a language everyone can understand.
    12
  1395. As a person who has led model building in healthcare, this is spot on for healthcare and I can see how it is spot on for economics! This was super informative!!! So much to say but I will just say THANK YOU for highlighting this!
    12
  1396. I'm glad so many people are seeing this.
    12
  1397. Gary, you've perfectly described my home city of Toronto and it surrounding burrough cities. Canada, a country of 40+ million people is basically three city centers/regions where 65-70% of the population live.
    12
  1398. This is one of Gary's best videos. Nice explanation and I loved that it includes the solution.
    12
  1399. Its funny because people and the media, really listen to economists, but clearly they've been wrong many times.
    12
  1400. Just get better parents.
    12
  1401. Thank you!! Finally, seeing this in a thumbnail gives me hope.
    12
  1402. Let’s go! You’ve been putting into words what i’ve been feeling all through university. As the first in my family, the disconnect between reality and uni is ridiculous . Keep it up!
    12
  1403. That is the reason I disliked studying economics. These models and scenarios were totally out of touch. The math was completely over the top. And yet they never really talked about the real underlying issues that were putting people on edge. Their solution was to spend less and save more, which completely ignores the fact that people already work several jobs and still can’t get by bc everything has become more pricey.
    12
  1404. congrats on the Politics Live panel.
    12
  1405. Great channel. I'm now just saving, working overtime & not spending any money, keeping healthy - everything I can do. I'm known for my rants about what's happening too 😆.
    12
  1406. I got the audio version of your book and am enjoying it greatly. I identify with you quite a bit. I come from modest means and have long had an interest in economics because even at an early age I could smell the BS in the standard narrative. I strongly suspect certain people being able to 'print' money up from nothing and others having to work for it like dogs has a lot to do with the inequality you often speak of.
    12
  1407. T-shirt is ridiculous
    12
  1408. Please dont stop with the content.. you deserve more views with this knowledge you share ur a local hero.. sendin you LOVE from the North West.. and ALL of the hopelessly broken & trodden on working class people of the UK appreciate this
    12
  1409. Hey Gary great vids. I'm 49, disabled on Esa and Pip and i'm about to be evicted on a section 21 because my Landlord needs his flat back due to being homeless himself after a break up. Council properties are non existent so i've been trying to find a private rented flat but every single landlord says they don't accept Unemployed, some have said it's due to insurance, others have said that you need to earn 3 times the monthly rent amount, but as rent prices are so ridiculous, i don't earn enough, even though housing benefit would fully cover the rent ( a 1 bed flat here costs around £600 per month minimum meaning you need to earn £1800 per month min). We need laws to stop the discrimination of the unemployed, this is why there's so many homeless around nowadays. Maybe you could shed a light on some of this and how investment companies are now buying up properties to jack up rents to to make money for pensions etc.
    12
  1410. Every time I come across something like this that's close to my heart I see that it's not widely shared or viewed. Sadge.
    12
  1411. Great video. Never really thought about this in terms of competing for resources with the super rich.
    12
  1412. Gotta say not sure if Rupert Murdock will like what you’re saying on his radio station but that’s some bars you’re dropping. Respect!
    12
  1413. Great speech, Gary. Clear concise and setting out a vision. And short! It’s so important you are doing this.
    12
  1414. The first women that spoke can't actually believe whats she's saying, she's hoping the trickle down effect reaches her lol . Great points you make and the other contributor.
    12
  1415. We need to get all poorer people up to the "starting line" at least! ...on the 1st of every month, with a UBI... because those with money are way ahead of the starting line already! For people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they first need boots! ...We can no longer rely on "the safety net", as safety nets aren't always strong enough and as time goes by, more and more people fall through the holes in the net, which have increased in size. ...We should now all have a platform to stand on...a platform which nobody can fall below! - in other words - we all should have a UBI, to give everyone the opportunity to "reach for the stars" or do voluntary work, without the fear of ending up on the streets in the process! People who don't need the extra money could use their UBI to sponsor a child or assist a family member who needs more help (maybe a child with special needs for example). After watching Gary, please Google... Google podcasts True Freedom Comes With UBI

  1416. Have you seen the old man In a closed-down market? Kicking up the paper With his worn out shoes In his eyes, you see no pride And held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper Telling yesterday's news So, how can you tell me you're lonely? And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London? Dirt in her hair And her clothes in rags She's no time for talking She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home In two carrier bags So, how can you tell me you're lonely? And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind In the all night café At a quarter past eleven Same old man Sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his teacup Each tea lasts an hour And he wanders home alone So, how can you tell me you're lonely? Don't say for you that the sun don't shine Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission? Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears In our winter city The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care So, how can you tell me you're lonely? And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Ralph McTell
    12
  1417. another excellent video, we are poor
    12
  1418. I come from a stupid place too..North London...All I try to do is when I see political stuff on U-Tube I always try a give a comment and mention this channel tell people to give it a look ..Its solutions we need not just questions and pointing out what's going wrong....Hopefully I've put people this way..We should all do that as many times as we can..
    12
  1419. There is so much I want to say but others would say it better, so simply, thank-you!
    12
  1420. What does your gender have to do with this? This topic is about financial inequity not gender inequality.
    12
  1421. I knew you were a Beatles fan when you wrote about drawing their pictures in Japan. America has areas that are just as poor as Third World countries. Look at black areas in Mississippi- schools without functioning plumbing, people living in shacks with open sewers nearby, and segregation just as bad as ever. Look at what Mexican-Americans live like in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. It has to do with racism, for sure. These conditions are taken for granted by the white population. Inequality is at the root of the worst of it, from living conditions to education to a lack of available credit. Many Indian reservations are even worse. US media mostly just ignore these situations. If they do cover them, it's pure sensationalism without looking into the causes. The UK hasn't seen the worst yet. I hope you never do.
    12
  1422. When he said 'I got a job': the meaning is clear; 'why should I care?' Kind of right: that's why we got politicians.
    12
  1423. Dude, you're probably raising a a small portion of gen Alpha in a more ethical pov of economics. Thank you. Writing, filming and overall producing your vids are not easy and im grateful that you still do it in spite of.
    12
  1424. You're excellent Gary. People like you should be in government... But the system as it stands would bog you down... Love to see you on TV again Gary. God bless yer Guvnor. 👍👍👍
    12
  1425. That was brilliant. Look after yourself and enjoy your bike trip. You are a moral philosopher as well as a political and economic scientist.
    12
  1426. One of your best videos.
    12
  1427. Sorry you have to go through this Gary but take heart, you must be getting through because they wouldn't waste their time if you weren't a threat,
    12
  1428. I think it’s important to acknowledge how rare it is for someone who could just lay back and light up a cigar to lean over and lift the lid on this all so concisely. Hope to see the eventual phoenix rise gloriously! 🐦‍🔥
    12
  1429. Have you ever made a charitable donation to HMRC? So Kate thinks he should unilaterally give away his money, which will silence his voice forever and achieve absolutely nothing for society, other than allow Kate and her fellow obscenely wealthy oligarchs to rest easy at night. When I was a higher rate tax payer, I was perfectly willing to pay more tax if everyone in my position was willing to do the same. Its called fairness Kate. Its called caring. How on earth was she brought up..or was she bought up?
    12
  1430. What’s with all the spammers? - don’t believe the scammers in the comments saying they are using a financial advisor. Why can’t the algorithm find these scammy comments and delete them.
    12
  1431. Down to earth normal person. P.s too many bots.
    12
  1432. well put.
    12
  1433. Another great vid Gazza! So true about the parents gifting deposits thing. Had a few friends buy houses before us in their mid twenties and i thought "how the fuck have they done that". A few years later I'd find out they had a big leg up from mum/dad/inheritance or whatever. All while i had been thinking im just not working/saving hard enough. Go easy on yourselves ❤ Also just finished part two in the book and bloody love this line "... and it wasn't a career any more. From then on, it was a bank robbery. 👊
    12
  1434. Great to hear someone echo my own thoughts on economics in general, but who has thought about it in-depth, and has the experience/expertise to back it up. You put very clearly and rationally, conclusions more people should hear! 👍👏👏
    12
  1435. Glad to have you back Gary! Looking forward to being part of the Patreon!
    12
  1436. Love these videos, thank you so so much so getting this stuff going and spread as much as possible. I always try and boost your vids on the algorithm~
    12
  1437. Studied econometrics, but never heard of such a good explanation of the economy
    12
  1438. Social blade statistics are crazy on this channel!
    12
  1439. Ignorance is not bliss! Gary is opening a crack in a doorway through educating us. Somehow we have to get enough muscle behind his message to force that door wide open. Gary’s economics education makes that possible, not a done deal, but a possibility which wasn’t there when we were ignorant. And he can’t do it for us. We have to take it on somehow, however we can, in whatever situation we are in. It’s a big job but if we could find ways to make it happen it could benefit every one of us hugely!
    12
  1440. Thanks man, I needed to hear this. I’m 24, a civil servant and struggling to move out of my parents’. Lots of people my age seem to make way more than I do and it gets me down a lot
    12
  1441. Thank you Gary, really hope your platform and voice continues to grow. It is refreshing to hear your content and analysis.
    12
  1442. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s very much appreciated
    12
  1443. Thanks so much Gary ! 27 minutes of the most life changing education everyone should have got at school...oh but they also didn't teach it through to masters level economics 🤔
    11
  1444. capitalism has an inherent tendency to monopoly. The system of capitalism is a class based system and is flawed when discussing development and equity. Taxing is a temporary measure which the ruling class will fight and we end up in the same position again. The only solution is socialism, where the working class in are in power and actively suppress the ruling class and their ideologies.
    11
  1445.  @garyseconomics  Legend! Appreciate the detailed reply
    11
  1446. More insight and common sense from you Gary. Thanks for all you do.
    11
  1447. Good luck with your works Gary.
    11
  1448. I've been binged watching all of Gary's videos for the past 2 weeks like it's a Netflix series 😅
    11
  1449. Look at the way Gary calmly looks at his hapless interlocutors, waiting for them to finish their drivel, and then administering the mercy shot, double tap, quick and "sans haine". Gary, if you need a secretary, factotum, gopher and helper, i'll do it for free!
    11
  1450. Keep up the fight Gary, people are slowly waking up, hopefully it won't take too much longer.
    11
  1451. And in the last 3 minutes Gary sums up exactly what is wrong with "Great" Britain. Another brilliant video.
    11
  1452. came here from the insider's interview love your work
    11
  1453. Another wonderful and informative video, will like and share as always ❤️
    11
  1454. Love Gary! He is spreading truth in a time when we need it more than ever. Hopefully this movement can build momentum starting now!!
    11
  1455. Thanks, Gary. I am over here in Los Angeles and seeing the results of late stage capitalism every where. A whole new generation of born-super rich kids coming of age here, buying up everything. Even worse, these born rich kids can’t even fathom how someone is able to be poor, and they unabashedly insult and abuse those of lower means. It is getting so bad here I know you are all seeing the same in London and UK as a whole. So many people I know make 4 - 5 times average wage here and still have no hope of buying property, or getting ahead; we are all still living paycheck to paycheck. It is so rigged. Thanks for you though. Education of this rigged system is the only hope in effectively fighting back.
    11
  1456. I’m always banging on about this and passing people your YouTube channel. Hopefully you gain more and more momentum to be heard properly! Legend ✊🏻
    11
  1457. This. I mean, anyone with basic level of critical thinking already knows how the game is rigged, but I really like the analysis on the microscale part, which usually isn't part of the narrative. It explains why people can continue to believe that working hard leads to social mobility.
    11
  1458. Audiobook was fantastic!
    11
  1459. We’re coming out of a generation who benefited enormously from improved health while wanting to retire early, from having savings accounts with interest and then spending on multiple holidays per year and wanting to change car every two years, and now we’re seeing the consequences of that too, people who retired at 55 who are living until 90 is absolutely INSANE and unsustainable
    11
  1460. You are doing a good job Gary. Educating the masses 👊🏼
    11
  1461. Thanks for all the effort you put into helping people understand. The more I listen the more confident I become when trying to spread the word.
    11
  1462. Here's a comment for the algorithm. Thanks for what you're doing
    11
  1463. I'm a huge supporter of this channel and your efforts, thank you! I have long pointed at the inequality of the additional tax burden of the 2007 bailouts landing normal people while the richest received government money, sort of socialism for the richest and capitalism for the rest of us, but I've learnt so much more from your channel. While change seems like such a difficult target, like you say something big will happen at some point. It's down to all of us to push for positive change that actually addresses the root cause of the problems rather than a negative change like having our anger misdirected. I only wish I could do more.
    11
  1464. Great talk. Thanks for the upload.
    11
  1465. Dane checking in. I support this political movement 100%. Keep it up Gary and everyone else. Also us Europeans are in this together with all these security threats
    11
  1466. Love these videos. Keep it up!
    11
  1467. Fuckinell mate , I ordered my book from my local independent hipster book worm , no 20% for me ffs. I'll see it as a fuckin investment in you and the fight which has been going on older than you my bro ✊🏽 GO on Gazman , respect.
    11
  1468. Is Gary still single?
    11
  1469. Listened to this as an audio I downloaded and listened twice..absolutely brilliant me thinking this dstinguished 60 year old expert has nailed it! Me actually watching the video to sub to the channel and download more videos of yours, i see you are very young😂 Hats off, many live an entire lifetime and never figure this stuff out. Well done and thank you!
    11
  1470. The most sense I’ve heard in 20 years, let’s hope the young can overcome the legacy media brainwashing and change things before it’s too late 🤞🏻👌🏻
    11
  1471. From the start your delivery gets better and better until by the end I am looking for a pitchfork to take to Parliament square. I argue about this on the terraces or in family gatherings where the rellies are up for Reform or with my oldest who is an oil economist or at the foodbank with other left leaning volunteers or with people who don't know me and definitely don't want to hear it. Before you maybe only Nye Bevan could stir the pot like yourself. Thank you.
    11
  1472. I nearly cried when you said you wore uniform on non-uniform day. I can't imagine my kids going through that
    11
  1473. Wow, first video by this Guy I have watched and I already know I am going to binge watch this content.
    11
  1474. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The economy is never explained well by the media... To keep us in the dark... It is great to see your ideas and perspectives.
    11
  1475. I am not a reading person never bought a book in the last 15 years let alone read any, yet I bought this man’s book after watching two of his podcasts. This man speaks wisdom and echoes facts, things that were in front of our eyes happening yet we never noticed them. I wish if I can do something in return for your help Gary it really weighs heavy on me. You truly saved us. Thank you man
    11
  1476. It makes total sense to look for further support to grow. I'd happily donate.
    11
  1477. Gary, next level brother…..I have found hope in a world that felt infected and broken. I will go forward and spread your words. Bless you
    11
  1478. This is actually fascinating. Nobody else explains things this way. I can feel book number 2 coming, Gary! This explanation that kind of bridges ‘the rich’ and corporations/banks. Most of the people in my circle recognise that this sort of siphoning of money is happening but they tend to think it’s more corporations strangling working people. If you feel able to comment more on this that’d be interesting.
    11
  1479. I’m really grateful for the analysis you’re providing, not least because I can share it with friends and family who feel economics is something for other people , and are baffled by the alien jargon and technical aspects. I write that as someone who grew up within a school system that had no interest in teaching simple economic ideas that would help me or anyone else plan our own finances, or assess the policies of a political party. The kind of basic non-ideological economic literacy every citizen should be familiar with, if we took democracy seriously. Everything I know, which is very little, I’ve picked up by myself. And I know lots of people for whom that is the same. So when we hear or read the economic analysts on tv or in the papers it makes it hard for us to sift through what is accurate and what is guesswork, and what is pure ideology or just blagging. So thanks again for providing clear and cogent explanations. I’m looking forward to your book.
    11
  1480. This guy is the TRUTH! Keep pushing the message Gary, keep pushing.
    11
  1481. The problem is: the people in power who could fix wealth inequality are all rich and the rich don't want to fix wealth inequality (the majority at least).
    11
  1482. Thanks Gary Great to see the new presentation. And to hear you introducing yourself as an author.
    11
  1483. You are easy to learn from, thanks. Inequality boils down to what boundaries and expectations are ascendent in the cultural river. We negotiatiate how much we're ok to know others are suffering. It's the Human condition. Our veneer of civility breaks when the greedy have taken too much.
    11
  1484. Me too, have done since almost his first vid, he's been doing a great job so far, been willing it to grow far and wide ... and I'm a dinosaur, age-wise! 😉 🙃😂👍
    11
  1485. Thank you Gary!
    11
  1486. Brought your book yesterday. Thanks for sharing you knowledge
    11
  1487. Excellent video. As a lifelong renter—Vancouver BC., I am quite terrified of not being able to have dignified end-of-life. My question is: who exactly are rich people and what about all these nameless/faceless corporations, numbered companies etc?. There are so many loopholes
    11
  1488. Go on Gary keep going. You are doing great. Your point that somehow the working class and middle class need to unite to change this is good I think. We will end up as serfs otherwise.
    11
  1489. after seeing this im suprised ive never heard aynone lay it all out so clearly like that, all in one concise string of thought, good job.
    11
  1490. I still haven't heard a reasonable rebuttal to your arguments.
    11
  1491. Gary, you're mentioned in a book I'm reading called 'Uncomfortably Off: Why the top 10% of earners should care about inequality', perhaps you've heard of it? It tries to get in the minds of the upper middle classes, who are also now in the firing line as you say, but also get near a political narrative that will draw them in, which is desperately needed. Thanks for the succinct message today, you should make this your channel trailer!
    11
  1492. There’s so much fiction, especially in movies, depicting extreme wealth inequality that people consume every day. In a film, it seems like a distant, fictional world set far in the future, but few realize we are heading in that direction. How many years until we reach Cyberpunk 2077, The Hunger Games, etc.? We consume these stories and romanticize them, but in reality, living under such conditions would be a nightmare. Believing that any politician can change the situation in 4–8 years is delusional. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s easier to cling to the hope that someone else will fix things in the next four years than to face the truth: we may never see a fair and functional system again, where people can truly live off their work rather than just survive. We need to advocate and speak out before it’s too late, and I’m grateful for people like you who are spreading the truth and working toward real change.
    11
  1493. Thank you Gary, you are spot on, the Camus plague comparison is also strikingly accurate. No matter what happens next on Earth, I am glad I could witness someone that stood up and spoke the truth, I feel less alone for it.
    11
  1494. Hi Gary, just found you tonight with the Guardian interview. This speech you gave above was very moving. Very raw. I cried for the little boy in you. It’s funny that a lot of poor people and or middle class try to do something to help others but very few of the rich do. It would only take a couple of rich families to change the economy but unfortunately they do not want it changed because the truth is that they created it this way by design. Until you can turn the tide (change the rich) we can only take things day by day and educate as many people as we can, or as you are. Thank you for your beautiful work Gary.
    11
  1495. I currently work in fostering in the local authority. The system is at breaking point and the most vulnerable people in society is not being cared for. As a worker , single mother, council tenant, i dont earn enough to keep up working this way. It is difficult for workers to be earning enough and then you see not enough money for the more vulnerable members. It is demoralising as you feel helpless for your own situation and for others. I see the greed and the the divide in society. We will end up with a poor / rich divide without the ability to progress. I also do budgeting strategies for my friends who have regular jobs and are at a loss how to survive at this time.
    11
  1496. This video is one of your very best Gary. Huge gratitude!
    11
  1497. I think your are doing a great job. This is not just about economics, is about social policy and trying to bring fairness back into our society. The Tory’s took the heart out of our society in the 80s and we have been suffering ever since. The last 12 years of the tories are taken us to tipping point. Yours is the only voice making a difference. Go Gary….
    11
  1498. Thanks for the insight once again, Gary. Happy New Year and hope all goes well for you in 2022.
    11
  1499. it all makes so much sense, thank you
    11
  1500. Gary will always be one of us, he may have infiltrated a higher plane, but he will always be one of us.
    11
  1501. Great vid... What you describe there is basically the capitol and districts.. In the Hunger Games films
    11
  1502. Perfectly put as always. There's a very popular narrative being pushed by influencers etc on social media (because it gets views) that ordinary, non-wealthy people can achieve financial independence and become wealthy simply by saving and regularly investing in stocks and passive income. I think a video debunking this idea - that it's something that's actually achievable for most people - could be really effective in waking people up a bit. Funnily enough the people sharing their portfolio breakdowns on youtube never seem to explain where the large lump sums they start off with come from...
    11
  1503. Gary, I hope you realise just how necessary you and your voice are. I've said before, since scraping a pass at A-level economics many moons ago, but being heavily involved in finance for SMEs most of my working life, has allowed me to understand micro and macro economics. However, though I've had plenty to say and discuss over the years, re wages, house prices, etc, nobody has ever put it in the relatively simple terms you do in this video. Your voice and campaign is invaluable. As you've said, nothing will happen overnight, but if we can all spread this education, we might just be able to fight back and future generations might just have a better chance. With you all the way mate!
    11
  1504. Brilliant Gary. That was a beautiful speech. Enjoy your trip and come back and smash it.
    10
  1505. Thank you for your hard work for the good people. We want something for our children.
    10
  1506. Excellent stuff keep pushing you are doing an amazing job.
    10
  1507. That was a great, albeit slightly depressing talk. We have a cat and rescued a dog from the going to the pound. This causes problems as dog chases cat and dog runs. We did have a stair gate and the cat lived in exile upstairs. The dog has broken the gate and they have met and come to an understanding. We no longer have a gate and the dog will not go upstairs 😂 We are thinking of getting a kitten as the dog will get used to cats and the cat, who watches from the stairs, will see the dog being friendly and given some time peace will return perhaps. I only say this to lighten the vibe on this Sunday ❤
    10
  1508. As I watch this I’m waiting for 2020 Gary to say “they will buy your mum’s house”.
    10
  1509. Thanks Gary for your engagement for a better society. Keep on. BRAVO
    10
  1510. Love you bro!! Looking forward to watching this longer vid now 🙌
    10
  1511. Man, thanks for sharing some of your story. Cheers from France. And take good care of you. We need voices like yours to help us stay in touch with reality, and do better as a society
    10
  1512. Cometh the hour cometh the man. I wish you success with your book and channel you are sorely needed. ❤
    10
  1513. Looking forward to whatever this channel puts out in the future :)
    10
  1514. I am from Malaysia and I actually agree with Gary!
    10
  1515. You'll all be sorry when my £50'000'000 compensation arrives in the form of an ATM card with £5k daily withdrawal limit arrives
    10
  1516. Hi Gary, heard about you listening to the James O'Brien show this morning when one of his callers gave you a mention. You explain things very clearly and I'm suddenly seeing the light! What you say makes so much sense and doesn't bode well for the future. Many young people growing up today may never own a home (asset) unless they get help from the bank of mum and dad. Things look grim.
    10
  1517. Bless you Gary, the things you've been saying have really cut through. It is so refreshing to have my deepest fears acknowledged, it's not just us, we are all getting poorer and the answer is to tax the rich
    10
  1518. Yes, it is down to the rich to fill that void. Their mega wealth is gained at some point off the backs of the whole of society beneath them and in some cases 100's of years worth of working peoples efforts. The fact that there are so many loopholes for this class of person to avoid tax tells you everything you need to know about the type of government we had. The last Labour government had the first opportunity in decades to do something about it but did not and we knew that the Tories would only entrench and enhance those loopholes to tax heaven (or the Bahamas)
    10
  1519. Well Gary, I’ve ordered the book and am looking forward to reading it. My wife worked in the City as a stockbroker before and after the Big Bang, while I was in insurance and finance. We witnessed at first hand how the City insidiously erodes your soul. We were able to get out too, but never thought about writing a book! Big bad Bill Anderson was before your time, but if you’re minded to, check him out.
    10
  1520. new to your channel in the past few months. just got the audiobook and loved it. definitely the right choice to have you read it over some other person. the idea of "tax the wealthy" has been in my head since i was young, so good to hear someone with your story to wealth preach it too. question: has the general public ever tried to crowd fund lobbyists? would that be a way to fight back?
    10
  1521. I watched two of your videos and subscribed. I'm glad to see someone who doesn’t make it all political and instead breaks it down in a simple, clear, and understandable way. It’s not Democrats vs. Republicans; it’s us vs. the system designed against us—unless you’re rich.
    10
  1522. "Grew up in a stupid place".... ILFORD?! 😂😂😂
    10
  1523. Gary I found you earlier this year and I’ve learned so much from you. I love what you’re doing, and I love your unique perspective of economics, because you’re one of us working class people. So thrilled to see your channel growing even since I found you. You’ve given a lot of us hope that there is something better if we can mobilise and make it happen. We need your continued guidance. Exciting to hear how things are expanding, do what you need to do to continue that momentum. Enjoy your well earned break, so vital to look after yourself and recharge your batteries. Safe travels and thank you 🙏🏻
    10
  1524. Great video Gary, I had the same concerns many years ago, but the pandemic has accelerated my thoughts a thousand times over to the point where I am deeply concerned. Something needs to be done very soon before poverty becomes even worse. How can we make a movement on this issue my friend?
    10
  1525. Another superbly explained video Gary. I love the way you take complex economic issues and make them understandable for the layman such as myself. I hope one day you stand for Parliament, the economic status quo needs challenging more than ever and it can only be done effectively if articulate and informed people such as yourself have the political power needed to reverse our increasingly unequal society.
    10
  1526. It will keep happening until ALL working class , lower paid people get together, and do something about it. That ain't going to happen, in this country. We're all just sheep unfortunately and make do with what we've got, or not got in some cases. Well examined though. Layman's terms.
    10
  1527. Great video Gary, I’ve almost finished your audiobook. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
    10
  1528. Held up so long to watch this vid. Wasn't expecting it to be this. Kinda deflates the shit of me, but at the same time it's listening to something I knew subconsciously
    10
  1529.  @rosstatham439  you're right, everyone needs to do their part. I'm going to share this with my middle aged coworkers who were happy with the scraps Sunak threw at them the last time but clearly didn't see the bigger picture.
    10
  1530. Not even sure where I stumbled upon your channel but am sincerely glad I did; I did an Economics degree (albeit as a minor to my major in Linguistics) and I was dogshit at it, but I feel far more comfortable around something like this concept having heard what you put. Thank you for this.
    10
  1531. That was a rambling one but I value your transparency & honesty. These videos are tough to watch & make me feel a bit depressed but I’ll keep watching. It’s good you know when to take a break dude, you’re not a superhero but doing a cracking job, against all odds. If we were sat at a bus stop, I’d definitely offer you a jelly-baby :) Keep the faith bro & good luck with the forward movement.
    10
  1532. Recently finished listening to the audiobook and it's just beautiful. Thanks for being my companion on the daily commute ♦
    10
  1533. Really enjoy your videos, Gary. It never struck me that debt is ownership, but after your explanation it makes perfect sense. Always appreciate your work!
    10
  1534. I only saw Gary for the first time recently. He might be specifically talking about Britain but what he's saying applies everywhere. I'm Australian and he could easily be describing Australia, Our government just pulled $38 Billion out of thin air during COVID at one point, with no explanation of where it came from or an explanation of how they decided why anyone got any of it. A few weeks ago when the 2021/22 publicly listed companies had their reporting season it was announced that the CEOs of the ASX 200 had a new record HIGH average salary of $9.5 million. That's a wage bill of $1.9 billion for 200 people. That doesn't include all the other executives, board members or their bonuses. Now I know where our $38 Billion went.
    10
  1535. That was CLASS gary
    10
  1536. I'm looking forward to the day Gary releases a book on Audible, I'll be one of the first inline - this guy has an amazing insight.
    10
  1537. WE LOVE THE STOCK
    10
  1538. Hi Gary, just finished your book. How the f@#k did you survive that? You're an inspiration and I'm trying to spread your message. Keep up the good work 💪
    10
  1539. I love your videos! I’ve been trying to learn about economics since I realised how much the public had been lied to over austerity because most of us didn’t know enough to argue with posh men in suits (like my MP). Your videos help a lot. I would love to see a video on the climate crisis and the economy….any plans for this?
    10
  1540. Keep going with it. Amazing so far 👏👏
    10
  1541. You are the first person I’ve heard talking sense about Economics thank you for making the videos they are all brilliant and the way you explain everything is spot on
    10
  1542. somehow knew id see you here
    10
  1543. Man, i really like you, because you have almost the same mentality as i have with the difference that when i say these things people make fun of me because I don’t have a degree. And the thing that i hate is that you have like almost 1000 views saying the things that needs to be said so people actually understand but there’s other people that talk about the most idiotic things and they get millions and millions of views which always frustrates me. One other topic that a lot don’t seem to understand is that the top 5 biggest tech companies have so much power that can change the course of a country’s elections and more. Same goes for big corporations like Nestle that owns so many other brands that have absolutely no relation with what nestle is known for.
    10
  1544. I guess she hasn't heard of Joe Biden's latest on corporate tax policy changes not to mention his push for trade union membership for the tech and financial sector. Thanks Gary

  1545. MUSIC REVIEW - first track - inspirational, who doesn't love that. Second track, electronic - medium. Third track - pensive, building the tension - hype.

  1546. Gary is right, we must save ourselves
    10
  1547. I think the mini budget aimed to attract highly effective people like CEOs, entrepreneurs and investors from the international market to the UK by creating a low tax incentive at the highest level. This aims to grow the economy by increasing “the size of the pie” by taxing new investment with taxes already in place. Whether this was with intent to harm ordinary people I think is subject to interpretation, but this way of thinking is completely theoretical and the real world impacts that ignore ordinary people and short term effects have been completely omitted from the equation. Great video by the way.
    10
  1548. Real G! Thx Man I am 23 years old and want to thank u 4 everything u done 4 us

  1552. Thank you YouTube for pushing Gary onto my page. Nobody has ever said it clearer! One of the most underrated videos on the internet 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
    10
  1553. You're criminally undersubbed good sir, this is unacceptable, loved your novara interview, you explained things in a way I could easily understand as someone with learning difficulties so thankyou

  1554. I hope we ll see some photos of your cycle at some point, it sounds so cool - a guy i know on twitter started cycling to the next climate conference a few weeks ago (to Baku, Azerbaijan)

  1556. I am soooooo happy for you Gary, I think you’re amazing. I would like to see you on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. I see what you’re doing and I’m going to help spread your word. Thank you
    10
  1557. Come on man . Good work . Keep going . Have a good holidays my bro .
    10
  1558. Not a criticism by the way. Absolutely love your work.
    10
  1559. I did an Economics BSC and you're speaking my life. I jumped ship after my first degree because it was just math! At A levels, I choose Economics because of the appled area not because I wanted to do Calculus and Matrix Algebra all day! I went to Business and Marketing instead. Several of my friends went into finance frfr.
    10
  1560. He 's not lying I did economics as an undergraduate. I lost my book " math for economist". Unless you go to masters, you won't do much besides being a bank employee. I'm still wondering where I can apply the hessian matrix in real life
    10
  1561. GOD BLESS YOU GARY
    10
  1562. Great videos. I think your content has now and forever changed how I look at economics and wealth inequality. We need government involvement, tax the wealthy, a proper safety net to ease wealth distribution, and solutions to tackle climate change. I am student now, teach and speak.
    10
  1563. well done Gary, another great Video, we need to get more people to listen

  1566. Your prophecies seem to be coming true Gary. Very insightful stuff, appreciate your videos.
    10
  1567. Garry, you've really given me something to think about.
    10
  1568. i have to etch this into my brain.....`money is not real resources, money is a distributional resource, money is only used to determine who gets the real resources´ thanx for free economics classes, u r a star, if i can give back let me know (I teach Spanish and French, and maths but u wont need classes in that i reckon hahah)
    10
  1569. Thank you, Gary.
    10
  1570. I’m here because I saw you on lads bible, and it’s good to hear from someone relatable. About to buy your book and binge through your videos.
    10
  1571. Saw you on Piers with Rave Dubin the human centipede. Good work. You've earned yourself a subscriber.
    10
  1572. The street of terraced houses I grew up on in the 1980s, everyone owned their own home. Now all but one is rented out. Absolutely spot on about people getting rich off the backs of the poor by hoovering up everyone's else assets. Also good for the banks who make a fortune out of getting us all jacked up on cheap credit to make up the shortfall. What an absolute mess of an economy we live in. On the plus side those socks are amazing.
    10
  1573. Keep up the good work Gary. Keep the videos coming.
    10
  1574. Thanks for posting this Gary, your segments on this show was very well explained. I've followed your channel for a few months and it was nice to see you put your points across on the BBC. And it was good for you to call out the IEA for their part in the Trussonomics from last year, especially during the "distraction" lab meat story. I am very much looking forward to reading your book when it is published. One quick question - the IEA director that you were sat next to, the awful Annabelle Denham - was she the one that defended billionaires and said to "privatise the Bakerloo line" when you debated with her in a radio show (I think TalkRadio) last year?
    10
  1575. In engineering, we typically talk about how your solution to your model is only how good the model accurately captures the real problem you're trying to solve or understand. (You need to make sure that you're maximizing for the right metric in whatever algorithm you've designed, or whichever strategy you've chosen.) You've hit the nail on the head on what people get wrong about game theory and its application to "real world" situations. While heuristics like simple solutions to complex problems can help you reduce complexity of thought on how "difficult" a problem is to solve, it can lead to a fallacy of solving the heuristic rather than the problem you originally aimed to solve.
    10
  1576. Very useful information. Thank you

  1577. Excellent for my A level Econ students - thank you!!

  1584. Just a simple THANK YOU 🙏 Sharing your knowledge and your time and effort to put these excellent economic explanations together is hugely appreciated !! I’m able to have conversations and debates with a much clearer and deeper understanding of what is wrong, why things are not working and most importantly how things can change! Thanks again 🙏

  1589.  @garyseconomics   It is very difficult in a world which has gone so very wrong. I will try, but do feel like giving up completely sometimes... Especially when you actually step back and look at that mountain to climb. ...It's almost like the rich are continuously making the mountain larger for us, daily!

  1592. Gary son, you are an inspiration. Our society needs to hear your voice.
    9
  1593. This was interesting. You keep saying that ordinary people need to work together to overcome this but how? We’ve tried voting in the party that is supposed to be for the working classes, that hasn’t worked. What can we actually do, I feel so impotent to change anything.

  1595. Merry Christmas Gary, its nice too see you back and looking well.

  1596. Bit hard not to take this seriously. I remember back in 2008/2009 when economists were warning how long that financial crisis was going to take to recover from. I was much younger then and didn't know how seriously to take it. It turned out to be true. Lets also not forget when other governments printed money and had hyperinflation. Unfortunately I feel like I'm at the stage of my life where I might just miss the bus. A lot of people in their 20s and 30s are just being fucked over time and time again. It seems like it's only the ~1% who have any kind of real wealth, most are just trying to get by.

  1598. I was high when i watched this and it blew my mind. Then i watched it sober and it still blew my mind. I worked on wall st for 8 years but was not a macro guy, and never had time to explore he bigger picture. This was fascinating, looking forward to your next vidoe. Just one think, i don't know if if you were being flippant or just english ( dry sense of humour ) but housing prices do go down. It happened in 2008 !!! You know the meltdown...........

  1604. I just finished listening to you read your book and loved it. Happy to follow you on this channel. Thanks for sharing the knowledge you’ve developed over time. I had never heard of the specialty of “inequality economist” - I so appreciate this focus.
    9
  1605. Awesome video. Most people still stuck in the small world of "this is a £, this value is immovable"
    9
  1606. Man you explain this stuff so clearly. I’ve never had such a crystal clear understanding of how we are being totally F’d sideways by the ultra rich 😂😭
    9
  1607. Brilliant video, I’m buying your book can’t wait , good luck with it
    9
  1608. Faceless Man on your sweater is SO perfect for your message and your channel! The symbolism!!
    9
  1609. Thanks for your work Gary. Crypto is a classic pyramid scheme.
    9
  1610. Right on the brink Gary - the floodgates are about to open. Keep at it. Would be cool if you expanded on your wealtheconomics blog in the form of a regular medium/substack post.
    9
  1611. please clap more in your videos from now on
    9
  1612. A film version of The Trading Game is our biggest hope for spreading the message globally. Gary, I hope you reach out to the team behind The Big Short or film producing superstars like Matt Damon or Brad Pit.
    9
  1613. i love you so much the way you break it down really helps ground what youve been talking about for last year
    9
  1614. Crystal clear. Thank you.
    9
  1615. "The economics discipline, once again, is absolutely asleep at the wheel." Whoever it was that suggested you donate to HMRC was definitely snoozin'.
    9
  1616. Thanks Gary for explaining the situation so clearly.
    9
  1617. What you explained near the end about a rush for stuff that already exists by people with power is exactly what happened in Russia when the Soviet Union fell. We now see exactly where that led them.
    9
  1618. Correct decision patroen is the way forward
    9
  1619. Amongst all the lies and deceit, you stand out as a breath of fresh air Gary. You were, and are right. Shame on them for refusing to listen.
    9
  1620. Hi! I'm a huge fan of your perspective and efforts on youtube, and I really hope your channel goes viral soon, the world needs it. Play the algorithm like you traded and get the truth out to more people
    9
  1621. Please put this into audio book Gary !!! You telling the story NOT the normal audio book Robot they use ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
    9
  1622. Jesus. Thank you, Gary. It all just clicked for me and I'm so mad right now. We are living in the end stage of the game Monopoly where that one player has most of the assets by far and is just raking in money as we all (normal people and the government) slowly bleed to death. It's game over but we don't see it yet. Is it time for revolution yet?
    9
  1623. Hello Gary. I am following your channel. Even though I only learnt Economics only at A Levels but alas for first year then switched to Physics but didn't pass. But after listening to your explanation of the real life issues suddenly promted me to relearn Economics. Yes, the issues you raised are serious real matters upon which society must act to solve. Thanks a lot for sharing this video. Keep going , Gary. Respect from Malaysia. 🇲🇾 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
    9
  1624. Legend in my book. Great interview 👍🏽
    9
  1625. You two are both heroes. Keep up the good work and we will consider how we can join in to support the movement.
    9
  1626. You're awesome, Gary. I was raised Catholic. I'm no longer part of the religion but there are a lot of morals I appreciate from my upbringing. We also actually read the New Testament. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, etc. Blessed are the poor. It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. These parts seem to be left out quite a bit though, especially in American where the prosperity gospel has such a strong foothold.
    9
  1627. Monopoly Game Question I have a question for you Gary... You're about to start a game of Monopoly with a small group of people, but before it starts, you're told you'll be the only player not to get the "passing go" money - Still want to play?
    9
  1628. Coming from the future where the inflationary shock is currently happening 😢
    9
  1629. Brillant ! It is obvious once you understand it! The slums!
    9
  1630. Thank you so much Gary. I am so grateful for such good souls like yourself. I have been feeling so low about the state of the country, the world, and ignorance about the reasons for growing inequality. I'm not surprised you're exhausted, but God bless you for leading the way for a more equal world 🙏
    9
  1631. Great to see you on the BBC Gary! Hope you get lots more bookings.
    9
  1632. Great video mate. Are there any circumstances that would lead you to invest in crypto currency or do you think they'll all go to £0 eventually?
    9
  1633. Shes very sensible great guest gary mate Have a good 1 lad keep pushin
    9
  1634. 'it's not cause they're evil, it's cause they're rich' lmfbao great line
    9
  1635. Thank you Gary and your team for presenting and pressing this issue and the further education on financial literacy as a whole…..I am onboard and spreading your selfless message. Peace and love to all
    9
  1636. Gary, im glad i found your channel. It bugs me because things are hard. I'm also realising getting onto the property ladder is something i need to do but even with my wages, even if i did save for the deposit i couldnt afford to live where i live. So, not sure what to do!
    9
  1637. Keep up the message Gary, you're doing great work .
    9
  1638. Why the crappy , distracting background 'music' all of a sudden? Do you think it sounds more professional? It doesn't. I really value what you say but I couldn't watch this one. I'll wait and get my information from your book when it arrives. Sorry.
    9
  1639. JFC! Gary, I want to say thank you from the very deepest part of my heart! You have nailed the current struggles we face as a people. But your deep humanity and understanding of the experience of poverty raises all of this talk to the point of essential viewing by anyone who is interested in a true discussion of the realities of economics at a human level! I have shared this talk with all my students. Courage and thanks to you, Ivan
    9
  1640. I love that ghibli sweater, awesome content as always
    9
  1641. You have a good heart. Good luck changing the hearts of the corrupt and heartless.
    9
  1642. Fantastic! This one was a real bell-ringer. The comment that economists are attached to their models not the inequality really struck me.
    9
  1643. Gary it's as clear as day the way you put it. Changing and clearing out these old ideas will be difficult but it needs to be done. Thanks Gary for highlighting this block in the road.
    9
  1644. Great video. Really important stuff. Will be sharing to get more people aware of the situation we are in today.
    9
  1645. Looks like you've found your purpose in life Gary you're as good a communicator as you are a mathematician
    9
  1646. Great video and great content in general. Well done Gary, this content is sorely needed!
    9
  1647. Congrats on the book, Gary. I finished listening to the audio version yesterday. Keep fighting the good fight.
    9
  1648. I like the contrast between the stuttering and Gary who just knows what to say. I think you could have been more agressive in calling people on their bs, as you understand the flaws in their reasoning so well. You get very little time in the spotlight and more conflict would garner more attention to your cause.
    9
  1649. Excellent video Gary. Everyone on the right in America needs to see this one.
    9
  1650. Good to see you back Gary, look forward to the book.
    9
  1651. Happy holidays Gary. Great video. Appreciate the time and effort.
    9
  1652. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Really brings some key points home.
    9
  1653. Again Gary. Amazing. Explaining in 'normal' terms. Thank you
    9
  1654. Bubble-up Economics works a treat every time! Returns growth really fast.
    9
  1655. Love your stuff :) Totally agree. Born into the slums & poverty of a northern England industrial city in 1950, I was one of the 'fortunates' to live my 73 years in that 'golden period', having had a beautiful life in Australia for most of my time. In 1980 I stopped watching TV & reading newspapers as I increasingly understood what was happening both in the unseen background of that time and to us working class people. That being the fact that the availability of 'more work, money & goodies' changed us. We became conditioned by the advertisers etc to believe 'happiness' meant having more of everything, just like the rich! But, that pretty much changed the shared common life values we had been brought up on, putting us into a world we did not understand nor knew how to navigate. I believe this period and its experiences, literally destroyed those 'old values' and therefore the communities & individuals that onced lived by them? Add in more recent times of the online worlds we now frequent, the high levels of immigration (that eventually dilute the culture) creates an environment & sociopolitical atmosphere of division, self interest, hatred, anger etc, GB in 2024 basically. There is no solution to this. Today is the outcome of a period of changes no one could have foreseen and understood the ramifications of. The only pragmatic and rational solution would be as you say, to limit those enormous economic disparities from existing, but, it's too late! Those atop the pyramid now, not only determine how economics unfolds but they also learned how to corrupt/own/manipulate every facet of so called democracies (govts, civil service, national infrastructures, police, education, law, local govt etc etc etc). The pyramid sitters not only own all the money they own pretty much every facet of contemporary 'civilization'! There needs to be one mother of a global collapse that 'may' allow for a rebuild that could perhaps, rebuild using those old values and structures of common sense etc :) There seems to a serious collapse of the global economic systems coming, but will it be enough?
    9
  1656. I can't really expand on your well presented video but thought might be an idea to leave a comment for the system and promotion...
    9
  1657. Keep up the good work Gary
    9
  1658. We need Gary, Carol Vorderman and few others naturally talented people to the do our economic analysis.
    9
  1659. Great video mate
    9
  1660. That was magnificent Gary. None of those smug people are used to being challenged by someone on the “left” who cannot be readily dismissed as a dirty poor socialist, nor be co-opted into some kumbaya drum-circle. They all spend the whole time on their collective back foot as you clearly make your point that the government has been enabling the wealthy to sink society for decades and it’s reaching a critical point where the middle class will simply cease to exist as an asset owning class. Your message is simple and you’re smarter than any of them as far as economics goes they know they can’t joust with you. Well done! Keep hammering away at the wealth tax message.
    9
  1661. Nice job, man. Your rhetoric on this stuff is the best I've heard. There's a lot of people out there who agree with you already but they aren't articulating it this well. You're doing valuable work in just providing them good lines and talking points, not even counting the people moved over.
    9
  1662. “Fantasy is what we want but reality is what we need” - Lauryn Hill. Keep doing what you do King…👊🏾🔥
    9
  1663. Mental health is a huge struggle for an increasing number of people so thanks for talking about it. I just finished your book and loved it. It's like a horror story, except you obviously escaped. I grew up poor and even when i was making money never wanted to be part of the bourgeoisie, much less the wealthy. Kids in my generation didn't really think about money the way they do now- inequality was an issue, but it was more racial than anything else. I'm poor on purpose now- not paying taxes to the American war machine. Congratulations- I think you'll hit #1 this week easily.
    9
  1664. Very well said - "rewards you for what people WITH MONEY want" - exactly this. If you don't have money then you can't do anything - even eat.
    9
  1665. What a great convo. Loved how you answered the question directly from Kate. Keep it up.
    9
  1666. an incredibly important issue. not only does oligarchy impact affordability, it also weakens democracy
    9
  1667. Brilliant explanation, Gary. Keep going mate!
    9
  1668. I know! Eat dry bread with fake butter on, and drink only tap water, and save all the money you earn, also do not buy things you don't need. I know, because I've seen others on youtube to it, and it works! Now I'm rich!
    9
  1669. Thanks again for what you are doing Gary.
    9
  1670. Thanks Gary.
    9
  1671. Great video Gary. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the next video to understand how you can effectively tax wealth. One thought... Home ownership as a means to financial security is a very Thatcherite and recent concept. For decades in post war Britain that security came from assured tenancy and rent control. In other EU countries (Germany) it's far more common for professional and skilled workers to rent all their lives and invest their savings in other more appropriate financial instruments. Second thought... It's not just super rich families that own the nation's wealth, it's pension and savings funds using working people's earned money they've been taxed on already. How can you tax wealth while don't double tax that money? Looking forward to the next installment.
    9
  1672. This was extremely eye opening. Thank you so much Gary - you're an unsung hero of our times
    9
  1673. We appreciate you Gary , thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. The last thing we want to see is the wait of the world drag down your mental health . We know this is a marathon. Stay health in mind and body , don't neglect yourself. Much love
    9
  1674. This is brilliant Gary. I just know that if you went in any tv political programme and said these things you’d get applause from everyone. I’d love to hear what our politicians would say to you but none of it would be as succinct and to the point as this.
    9
  1675. Looking at the views, Gary's word is really spreading.
    9
  1676. Brilliantly detailed podcast. Thanks Gary!
    9
  1677. Gary! People like you are the true voice of the ordinary person. I've listened to your book on audio, your story is that of a very holistic person. Started off poor, became rich but didn't lose himself in wealth. As a guy the same age as you you're a hero man. My dream is to become wealthy enough to do the kind of thing you're doing now. I do my bit but it's of course hard with less free time. But you are someone I get behind. My only fear is to change anything you need an army of like minded thinkers. You have one in me
    9
  1678. Hey I watched your Interview at jung&naiv. Now im here. Big Fan/Supporter 👍
    9
  1679. I’m glad your channel has grown. Thank you for great information, Gary❤
    9
  1680. Gary, you’re a sane voice. Grounded. You see through the BS to the core. I’ve read some comments and people think where money goes is so complicated, and it’s not. Keep learning and evolving because that’s your nature, but always stay true to yourself. Thank you for these videos. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💯💖💐
    9
  1681. This is your best video yet (the content and your delivery). The style has evolved so much as well. Very matter of fact, concise clear explanation and fluid delivery.
    9
  1682. As a dentist, I can concur with his dental analogy!
    9
  1683. Great energy, concise & factual. I didn't realise you had a channel despite all our exchanges
    8
  1684. Gary it's Wed 22 May its 7.20am and the News just like you said ' Inflation is down ' was the announcement, you are bloody superb Thank you you read these arseholes so well we are Blessed to have you. X
    8
  1685. I am 19 years old and I am truly inspired by your message of hope to a world which is lost. This message is growing through youth movements and art we are on a knife edge.
    8
  1686. Thought you said “we’ll take that for our first date, shall we?” at the end, camera guy’s like; ‘You’re telling us you’re a millionaire and all you can stretch to is scotch eggs and jam tarts?!’ I’d love to vote for a party who would tax the rich and close their loopholes, the voting system is part of their mess too and ppl are apathetic, they don’t connect the dots or go too far the other way and focus their attention on far fetched distractions.
    8
  1687. Hey, I just got recommended your channel by my 70 year old mum!
    8
  1688. Great news Gary, exactly what’s needed. Class consciousness and clear economics are the foundations. We have a world to win! 💪
    8
  1689. Great series Gary, cheers
    8
  1690. I bought physical gold in sept 2023. What happened??? 😉 🚀 🚀 assets went up and gold has now hit the highest price ever. You were 100% right
    8
  1691. Came for the info, stayed for the bad acting! <3
    8
  1692. Thanks for your videos; the research show that getting money from rich people and give it to poor people increases the inequality in long term. The problem is that some people can get rich and some cannot. I guess we need a new economic system. We cannot keep the current situation and expect a different result. Cheers
    8
  1693. 400k subs. It seems like that Business Insider interview has really boosted the subs, it's at 3 million views now. These interviews are the best way to funnel more people to your YouTube channel Gary and then ultimately to your message. Honestly, it's so hard for left-wing channels to be promoted organically it seems youtube really doesn't like them. Especially when you're promoting taxing the rich probably the biggest boogeyman for the super-rich that keeps them up at night hardly something a magnificent 7 corp would want to promote. So maybe the trojan horse method of lots of mainstream interviews is the way to get to them. ahaha keep it up gary.
    8
  1694. This is the sort of thing that kids should be taught at secondary school, its bizarre how you can leave school and be expected to make major financial choices at 17 yrs old without any real understanding of money, interest, debt etc.
    8
  1695. A beautiful lecture. I hope you are having a good trip and recover your energy. A lesson of many I may one day understand is that society is an extension of the economy, but rather the economy should be an extension of society.
    8
  1696. This aged so well, no one else is able to provide analysis like this. Thank you for sharing.
    8
  1697. Gazz, mate TOP WORKMATE, we need schools to talk about this, Education and understanding are the only way out of this inequality CANCER. Don't stop mate you are being heard 💪💪💪
    8
  1698. Great lil quote on ignorance vs lucidity and another great video
    8
  1699. Power to the journey, the message and education
    8
  1700. Gary's Audiobook is the best! Authentic and compelling. His story is of the underdog who beats the entitled idiots at their own game, and gets out (just!) with something to show for it. This book, and the channel, may make Gary just as much money. Go Gary! .
    8
  1701. This channel needs to be everywhere in the UK right now.
    8
  1702. Hello Gary, i guess you've started out on youtube recently, but I hope you keep going. What you are doing, along with Peter, is something essential for our education, I now understand why it is so unfair that there hasn't been much/if any financial literacy education in the past that is mainstream. I'm 31, and am only now learning about personal finance and you guys have really made things better for me and my young familly. My personal finance was a mess, but things are on track now thanks to you both. Please, please keep going.
    8
  1703. Thank you Gary for your explanation of money and markets and so on. I had a little understanding before, but you have helped in the clearing up. StaySafe Brother..
    8
  1704. Woah this is so insightful, thinking of the asset price increases as a manifestation of a disguised wage collapse is something I’ve never heard before. Really good video
    8
  1705. I’ve got a great joke about trickle down economics but 99% of the people won’t get it.
    8
  1706. Just wanted to say thank you for the work you do. I feel I have learnt so much from your videos and no longer sleep walk through some of these areas you have covered mate. Hope your Holiday was a great!
    8
  1707. Very well explained, puts things into perspective SIMPLISTICALLY!! Thanks for the eye opener. I will tell as many people as I can. 👊🏾
    8
  1708. 154k Subscribers today I do think you're going to fly, and I hope your message gets to enough people that it needs to
    8
  1709. Picking up on one comment, "there's no mathematical way to win at blackjack", I think that's wrong. Famously, blackjack is the one casino game that is beatable. (Or at least used to be, I'm not recommending anyone try it nowadays. Apparently the casinos have changed the rules to make it harder, and they ban people who are good enough at card-counting.) See the 1960's book "Beat the Dealer" by Ed Thorp. I agree with the overall point that was being made about casino games, it's just unfortunate that Blackjack was included as an example.
    8
  1710. Hi Gary, I have just discovered you, and I BLOODY LOVE YOU !!! I'm 63 years old, and I am that lower middle class that you talk about. Mad idea... Remember how the post office and miners crap happened, but most people had no idea what/why or knew the truth behind the events because of the cover-ups by the powers that be? Sympathy for them was thin on the ground until the recent documentary programmes. There was a roar of emotion in their favour because people had no clue what really happened. Gary, make a documentary, and get the word out there! It will get more people talking. Who knows, a taxation law for the very rich might get passed. Look at Brexit. The politicians didn't want it, but the people did. Whether you were for or against Brexit, the population voted and got their voices heard. I really hope you read this. I'm so impressed by your words. Your parents must be very proud of you. I'm proud of you ❤ 🤓
    8
  1711. This was fun to shoot. Thanks for showing me around Oxford Gary. It really does feel a bit like Harry Potter... Hope I did the place justice.
    8
  1712. GARY YOUR TRUTH REACHES THE HURTING WORLD!!! LOVE AND RESPECT FROM KENYA BROTHER!! YOU GOT A ROOM TO CRASH IN ANY TIME YOU ARE AROUND THIS WAY. MAY ALMIGHTY ABBA YAHWEH BLESS YOU MAN!
    8
  1713. Host: shit he's talking about wealthy people winning from this, move the convo on
    8
  1714. You got the point across really well here Gary, nice one!
    8
  1715. I've been crying out for u Gary; someone who leans a little left, genuinely cares and can explain this stuff to the masses. Hope you can grow your influence and more people start to hear u 🤞🤞🤞
    8
  1716. I wondered where you went. Glad you're back Gary 👍🥳
    8
  1717. I just finished your book, Gary. Really great story. Really great writing. I’ve never joined a Patreon, even on my favorite channels, but if you put one up then I will 100% subscribe. This needs to be supported and encouraged and I will do my part, however small it may be.
    8
  1718. Your a legend mate.
    8
  1719. The young need to be politically engaged. That's the key to stopping this downward spiral for ordinary people.
    8
  1720. Nice one Gary. Talking complete common sense again. I think the word "tax" scares most people. As soon as they hear it they can tend to shut off and not listen to the rest of the argument. Plus points for the nice looking chocolate biscuits!
    8
  1721. I can’t get a copy in France but I did buy an online copy and the audio copy! so I think I deserve the book give-away you mentioned in this video. Thank you 😄🙏🤩😻
    8
  1722. Appreciate everything you are doing Garry 👍 much love from Devon with a proper stupid accent😂.
    8
  1723. Thank you, Gary.
    8
  1724. well produced vid! I have discussions with economists sometimes and it always baffles me how easily they fall back on '101 textbook knowledge' that is just observably empirically false.
    8
  1725. Dude, i heavily agree about the opening of a patreon or similar. Imo, noone can ask of you, the person literally helping to create the movement almost full time, to fund it all yourself. The thing we are trying to create here, (change) HAS to be bigger than just one (even millionaire/billionaire) guy, in everything, the funding obviously included. Even the world's "richest" person, (idk, nor care who that is at the moment, the point stands for now) could put all their might and wealth into solving inequality, and it would not be enough, because there is just so much wealth "up there" with the rest of the 1-5%, that for change to actually come, we HAVE to pool together and just eat those costs of getting there. Great content, great person, regret not finding you sooner, happy i've found you at all, get that much needed rest, and retain those creative juices; We are going to need them, in time. Wish you a great time in Japan, and can't wait for the return and the new ideas. (I am sure they will come.)
    8
  1726. Just watched this now. New sub from the Russel brand episode. Feel the same, worked my ass off for money commuting to London from Brighton everyday just to try and get the wages I deserve and be able to save and it's just a choice between mental health or a reasonable wage. So much drive to achieve financial security coming from nothing but also as a woman that means I haven't had kids either. My industry is cut throat self employed. Many people waiting/ trying to trip you up. Find your content really interesting.
    8
  1727. Great video mate
    8
  1728. The observation that the redistribution (to the wealthy) is happening is powerful stuff and especially succinctly put in this video. Thanks!
    8
  1729. Love your work,my man. Please keep it up Your words are totally needed for these times. Big love and respect.
    8
  1730. I just love how you look more like a rapper than an economist 😂
    8
  1731. Nice points highlighted here. I agree with the wealth tax. By the way, great video on the 'the decade the rich won'. Very insightful. Let us users know any other financial videos alike upcoming or out there. Thanks for your content!
    8
  1732. Never would I have thought that at the age of 70 I would be following, with great interest and some understanding, talks on economics! Thank you.
    8
  1733. Don't worry about the haters on ur utube channel, there's an old utube saying "if you got some haters on ur comments section? Then your channel is getting bigger. Much respect to what you doing with ur channel (I went to crap school so sorry about my gammer) 🇬🇧🖖
    8
  1734. His book’s a great read.

  1735. So good to hear you speak on R4 this morning and to discover this film, first time subscribing, keen to hear more, thanks!

  1736. George Lucas is a billionaire and he always looks like your average family dad mowing the lawn.
    8
  1737. Thank you Gary for standing up for our economic rights you are an inspiration, good luck with your Book, keep doing what your doing
    8
  1738. Ok Gary, I had to watch this video 3 times to fully understand (perhaps I am thick) but it was worth it. I understood why in essence devaluation happens and how inequality plays into it. It's remarkable how inequality is never a factor in economic models as you say.
    8
  1739. That was a good video mate.

  1740. So I saw an interview you had with some journalist which recommended your book. I bought it on audible, and listened to it with great interest. Glad you beat Citibank. Anyway, I was telling my work colleague about it, and I said the book was called the Trading Game, and he immediately showed me a text from another mate who had recommended it. Now that’s what I call alignment, synchronicity or whatever. Keep it going Gary.
    8
  1741. Good to see you back, Gary! Look forward to the book.
    8
  1742. Great videos, Gary. Thank you for informing us. All the very best.
    8
  1743. Seriously? Is that what you took from this talk?
    8
  1744. Superb video, one of the best yet. To go a step further in helping people understand your analysis, using animations and diagrams would really help people visualise exactly how inequality happens and increasingly gets worse unless there is intervention
    8
  1745. 10:20 can really feel the passion coming through
    8
  1746. Sir, you just described economic democracy, a concept that absolutely frightens the rent-seekers.
    8
  1747. I love the way they fast forward through the boring bits
    8
  1748. this has been a burning question on my mind recently and I've tried understanding it from my own experiences and perspectives. They way you've analyzed and broke this understandingof money down into content form for me to digest was smoother than drinking water. Thank you for this ultimate perspective of money.
    8
  1749. I arrived at your channel today by a very circuitous route. I endorse your approach and philosophies. The inequalities and stacked deck in favour of the wealthy make me mad as hell. I want equality of life chances for everybody. You feel like the beginning of change.
    8
  1750. Mate , your the only person I take financial advise from. I don't trust anyone else.
    8
  1751. Brilliant explainer. Love it. Wealth tax is not after YOUR money. Unless you are Rishi and the Murdochs of course.
    8
  1752. Another very helpful video, G. Keep up the great work :)
    8
  1753. I loved the bit when Gary ate raw chicken in a fancy restaurant.
    8
  1754. Added to the mixer..... we now have boomers who are having to sell the family property to pay for care. 23k is all you're left with unless you can accses financial hacks for inheritance like the toffs.. unlikely
    8
  1755. Daily Mail doing a hit- piece? 😊 If you're getting flak, you' re over the target.
    8
  1756. Keep on the path of doing your excellent work.
    8
  1757. Another top vid g! Clear and concise! I can see that education is our first solution to exploitation so big thanks for putting in so much legwork! I would be thrilled to hear some solution-based discussions further down the line as I feel a bit like I'm on the Monopoly board and Mayfair and Park Lane are so far gone even the Old Kent Road is worth millions
    8
  1758. Great content I hope your videos start to reach a lot of people. I have a lot of friends who wont take the time to watch this full video you might consider creating short clips as teasers on your socials so people can get a snippet of what you are discussing.
    8
  1759. while being rich
    8
  1760. Great video. Comment for the algorithm
    8
  1761. Thank you for enlightening the frustrated population. Education is the key to change a system and society.
    8
  1762. Thanks for all the work Gary. Been looking forward to this book for about 6 months now 😂 keep doing what your doing!
    8
  1763. Great video. One of your clearest and best. Being 2nd gen Caribbean here, I grew up in the 70s with similar families with 3+ children who owned 3 storey Victorian houses. All the children had their own rooms and rooms to spare. The dads held blue collar jobs and the mums were full time home keepers. The dads had two fairly new cars too. And all achieved with 1st Gen immigrants a decade after arriving here with a suitcase.
    8
  1764. Thank you Gary this is best new year's present so far. I am so glad you have returned and amd very excited to read you book and see the film, the more people you can reach with your message the better. 2024 is looking to be a much better year for us all, roll on the general election 👍💪
    8
  1765. @gary. Soooooo nice to see you are back!!! Thank you!!!
    8
  1766. Ah another bedtime economics lesson
    8
  1767. That's one of the things that the pandemic has highlighted. A lot of working people feel very unsafe because jobs are going or have gone. Even those in work visit food banks how secure does that feel?
    8
  1768. I'm in since your channel began and def in for the next few years. Following, sharing, doing! 🙏
    8
  1769. Really interesting to hear your back story Gary. I worked in the City for 20yrs (IT not trading) and recognised a lot of the characters and behaviours you mentioned. I got out and have never been happier training towards a new career. Keep on keeping on, we need voices that question the consensus narrative
    8
  1770. I am here for Gary's politics and his mug ❤
    8
  1771. People need to start listening to Gary more.
    8
  1772. I share your videos on my social media platforms, trying to spread your word, we need you! And I believe in you! Keep going Gary! Hope to be able to vote for you one day 😉 ❤
    8
  1773. When you're thinking "I want a Gary's Economics video" and it appears.
    8
  1774. Brilliant Gary. You are an excellent communicator. Happy New Year.
    8
  1775. Equality is frightening to many people. The rich fear of their power fall, they thought they won't be able to buy stuffs when everything is equally priced. The poor fear of their power rise, they thought they won't be able to buy stuffs then everything is equal. The same event somehow create different fear. And these people forgot that when everything is equal, no one want to or able to charge more for their services and products, they're all equal by similar quality. People are just blind to the fact that equality isn't just stagnant, it's an advantage on both sides. Buyers buy more in moderate prices. Providers sell more in moderate prices. Personal disadvantage is always more impactful to their decisions and emotions. So people stuck in this inequality and forget the greater good.
    8
  1776. We should do more to spread awareness of all this economical smoke. Press for sensible fact-based conversations in the relevant channels, pressure local MP/speak about the issue within the financial circles, flag it up in economic & monetary lectures/forums. Even in the Financial Times and Wall St Journal comments section if you have to. As long as the facts are presented clearly rather than becoming entangled in a battle of ideology, it becomes very hard for the issue to be dismissed.
    8
  1777. This is crazy to watch. Subbed before I saw this ….. I grew up there too. I know the bridge and went to seven kings pool. More down green lane way near gmayes. Moved away long time ago but until recently mum was still there . V different life now . Cool to see someone else my man
    8
  1778. If people have been watching & listening to what Gary has been saying from day 1, they would understand he is taking about the tax dodgers who use tax havens to avoid paying taxes.. pay attention. You need to invest over 1 million pounds at least to get citizenship on one of these tax havens, plus you need to be accepted. ❤
    8
  1779. Nice jumper Gary
    8
  1780. Really good video - if key elements of this economy, like finance, are being steered by "wolves" who have stopped trusting each other, what does that mean if the research shows that economic growth is more difficult in low-trust societies?
    8
  1781. Really good video mate. The super rich should also be paying an environmental tax.
    8
  1782. "From little acorns" and all that. For what it's worth, I think the way you pretty much never frame the problem in a left/right, party political way will stand you in good stead. No matter what your leanings you'd probably be better off under a more equal system.
    8
  1783. Great work Gary. We love you here in Australia.
    8
  1784. This is by far the best video you’ve made Gary. I’ve been explaining the asset economy to older people, who just don’t seem to get it. This video should be the next campaign video for the Labour Party, Bevan would be proud ❤
    8
  1785. Loving your work Garry! You stood your ground and spoke up for a large but silenced majority voice ❤
    8
  1786. Oh Gary, being spoken for.....good on you for holding a smile
    8
  1787. Thank you Gary💗 Again and again you hit the nail on the head, and explain to us, the audience, how the extremely wealthy avoid being taxed.
    8
  1788. You are definitely not failing. Your message is resonating with people. However the pressures to keep your message down is significant (you can see it in the comments). Also please remember that the people you do reach feel the same as you. We agree with you, but we don’t know what to do about it and it’s painful not knowing. It’s rough to spend every day feeling like that.
    8
  1789. Great subject. Interesting points. So much to say about this. Including about the environmental impacts of economic growth, which are right now in the process of destroying the economy long term. A great place to start in this giant issue is Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth. You guys should do a colab 😃
    8
  1790. Outstanding. Stunning. True. Thank you.
    8
  1791. Excellent explanation, thank you!
    8
  1792. Great video, what do i do next?
    8
  1793. You need to get your message out across not just the UK, but the World.
    8
  1794. Keep banging the drum Gaz. I’ve tried to explain it to people from our type of backgrounds and they don’t get it. It is difficult to be fair. I’ve watched your vids over and over to understand it. Ordinary people just don’t have the time and head space. It also isn’t on their priority list. Keep banging the drum. I will spread the word hopefully it will be impossible to ignore with time.
    8
  1795. Hi Gary. Thank you for your education. A great explanation of money and how it works.
    8
  1796. Glad to see you're back, congratulations on the book. I'm pleased to hear you talking about a political movement, we need a party that represents ordinary people. I'm excited to see how things evolve.
    8
  1797. These companies are preying on people - just as high street bookies do. In a wider economic context, house prices are unaffordable, so gambling to get a house is an attractive prospect as there are few alternatives. The economy is breaking.
    8
  1798. Thanks for this, very informative. Taxing wealth instead of just income is a genius idea, but it will never ever happen. Any politician who even dares to suggest such idea will have a very short career.
    8
  1799. Everyone needs to here this it's so important
    7
  1800. Great motivating video; succinctly says why you should do your homework rather than battling with your parents or procrastinating creating the illusion of doing it. You have some serious drive Gary this channel is going to be huge, 👍🏻
    7
  1801. As I've said before don't piss down my back and call it trickle down economics, thanks for being a voice in the wilderness have a lovely holiday mate.
    7
  1802. God bless you, Gary. May you live longer. Keep fighting for us working class people. Thanks.
    7
  1803. If social care isn't sorted out here, no poorer people will inherit in the future. What will rich people do without poorer people? Will they "just about manage" to keep us alive, just to serve them?!
    7
  1804. It's important that you share this testable prediction now on every media outlet that will have you. There's going to be an election in 2 years and if you're on the money with this prediction, it will give us a better chance to pressure the Labour Party into listening, as that will be twice in three years that you'll have predicted something like this.
    7
  1805. Damn, the crypto bros are out in force in these comments. Repeat three times after me: Crypto (including Bitcoin) has no inherent value. Crypto (including Bitcoin) has no inherent value. Crypto (including Bitcoin) has no inherent value.
    7
  1806. Just keep on Gary....you are doing a great job. Many thanks.
    7
  1807. Brilliant stuff man, please keep it coming. If you're thinking of sorting a Patreon I'd sure as hell support it. Much love from Australia.
    7
  1808. Brilliantly said. Thanks for this. You are the mouthpiece for the unheard. The real economics is played out on street level in every city in every country as a result of world and national economic policy. Looking forward to more of your videos.
    7
  1809. Demystifying in simple terms, great content! Also is this why business profits and margins are still healthy, causing the stock market to continue at elevated levels, with inflation persisting so as younsay the rich are getting richer and poor getting poorer.
    7
  1810. 37:18 "It wasn't confidence, it was cancer" - such a powerful distillation
    7
  1811. House ownership will become a thing of the past. Including inherited, even parents won't even have owned one.
    7
  1812. I really love your videos. Found you on Navarro and your opinions hold merit across borders. Corruption and idiocy just seem common place for the public’s available resources. I hope your message can reach more people
    7
  1813. Astonishing listening to this in 2024. Writing history before it happens.
    7
  1814. It's very interesting watching these videos a considerable time after they were first published. It's difficult to comprehend what might happen, but revealing to compare the prediction against what you know actually happened. Gary predicted a rise in energy bills at the time this video was recorded. Now 8 months later when I'm watching for the first time, it's scary to know that his prediction played out & how little truth we've had from the government or media, which Gary constantly talks about too. I'm really glad I discovered this channel. I'm learning lots and have changed how I see the world through the lens of economics.
    7
  1815. Another US viewer… keep at it. Always find your viewpoint greatly valuable 👍
    7
  1816. These videos weirdly give me hope. It's depressing no doubt but at least more people seem to be talking about the real problem and its inevitable consequences. I've no idea how I can navigate it personally and really fear for the future now. But longer term I can see an increasing proportion of people demanding change.
    7
  1817. Another great interview, G! Thanks for spreading this important message!
    7
  1818. proven so right
    7
  1819. Also maybe speak at CSEP (Cambridge society for economic pluralism). It's a student run society which as its name suggests welcome alternative views on economics.
    7
  1820. Gary, you talked about the growth of the far right several years ago. You explained that Labour would likely get back into government, and they would be a sad disappointment to many who are struggling financially. Then that would open up the opportunity for the far right to take over from the Tories. Now it looks like Musk will be supporting Reform financially, and this will likely mean more subversive right wing bots on SM over the next few years. Your channel growth is vital.
    7
  1821. Opposite of Tate. Love it
    7
  1822. Great video Gary 👏🏻👏🏻🤞🏻
    7
  1823. Did my part to spread the message by putting a permanent ad up on my site titled 'Learn How the Rich are Making You Poor' that links directly to this video. Hope it helps!
    7
  1824. I dislike math and rarely understand economics, but you make it palatable! Cheers, Gary
    7
  1825. The audacity of someone earning 500 thousand euro a year telling YOU not to ask for a raise. It's disgusting.
    7
  1826. Saw your book ad on the tube the other day! Looking smart.
    7
  1827. Fair play to you for being so transparent with who you are and your background. And thanks for doing what you do. Great informative videos 👍
    7
  1828. I love this. I remember learning economics at school as a subject, and indeed wealth distribution was not mentioned there. Thank you for providing the knowledge people really deserve.
    7
  1829. I love your videos, thank you for doing them, integrity is hard to find but I know it when I see it.
    7
  1830. Great book Gary keep exposing the truth , thank you so much

  1831. "There is no final victory, as there is no final defeat. There is just the same battle. To be fought, over and over again. So toughen up, bloody toughen up." TONY BENN
    7
  1832. So, glad that you are building in support for yourself as part of the project. As someone with 20 years or so, working in the community sector, I have noticed that this is the part that is so often overlooked. And it just leads to burnout and less success. Yea, I will be supporting on Patron, God knows I need something, more focused, beyond the current intellectualism of the left to throw my weight behind!
    7
  1833. Have a happy holiday Gary! 😎 Relax, enjoy and have fun. 300k subbies by the time you get back…!
    7
  1834. Fundamental issue is that the problems are being handled by a chancellor who's had no experience working in economics and Gary and other educated and experienced voices are merely commentators.
    7
  1835. You make soo much sense mate
    7
  1836. Nice ending. Thank you for thinking about others.
    7
  1837. Keep raising awareness… I’ve certainly woken up! Thank you
    7
  1838. Finding your voice was a breath of fresh air for me. Here's my issue with the current situation, no one in history so far has taken on the 1% & won. I wish you'd give us something that we can be hopeful for, solid plan that is viable. Have a great time away, rest is crucial 🙏🤞👌
    7
  1839. Thankseverso for doing an interview with TYT, Gary! I got hip to you a couple of weeks ago. Your videos are making me better informed & even a bit more hopeful. God bless you & your family.
    7
  1840. Gary you are such an inspiration and you've taught me so much about the reality of how economics works that I so appreciate and I've shared with others (although unfortunately some aren't open to listening). Your work is one of the few lights in these dark times so please do what you need to do to keep your sanity while growing the movement how you see best. Perhaps take a leaf out of Novara and Owen Jones's books by seeking donations so you can hire people to support you with managing the YouTube, reading the messages etc. We believe in you and are behind you, I want to see you in government one day.
    7
  1841. Some of these things are patently obvious to some, but I guess to others who don't realise they are being fed ultra biased/incomplete information, this information needs to be clearly pointed out. Well done Gary.
    7
  1842. Thank God you're back, Gary! Your niche economics nourish a far bigger gap in The Market than even you might think. It's vital us "ordinary people" are educated in getting our heads around the scale of the crisis and the extent to which we're getting $hafted by 'The System'. You've persuaded me - convincingly - with your accessible arguments, that we're in a downward spiral that defines exactly what un-sustainability looks, smells and feels like. You've drawn my attention to the patterns and why the extrapolation of these economic trends is actually quite terrifying. I voted Labour. What choice did I / we have to kick the "pantomime villains" into touch. But the abject sense of disappointment in Labour's performance is suffocating me. Give yourself some credit. Yeah, okay, you don't like talking to camera. And the fame thing is hard on your nature. I get that. Frankly, I respect you even more for doing what you're doing in entering the fray. But you're doing an incredible job. I want to thank you for that. I'll be subscribing to your Patreon (if you're absolutely sure it's the right platform and their values align with yours). I've got one big question though. I'm a member of The Cooperative Party. As I see co-ownership as so much more meritocratic and meaningful than 'state ownership'. Maybe 'middling Marxism'. But they're mired inside Labour and their ideology buried. I'm not exactly sure myself... of where you stand with this important consideration re political spectrum. Are you?? Because you've a bona fide movement-in-the-making here. Depending on your definition of success, I suspect this stuff's going to count. Either way, you need to brace yourself, Man. Because in 5 years time, you're either going to be Chancellor, or maybe even the next job up!! Keep the faith. I, for one, am with you. ✊
    7
  1843. It's hard to comprehend that there are real people on the other side of monolithic face of 'the system' - thanks for trying to show us what isn't always clear to see
    7
  1844. I’m across the pond, but I think your efforts will go a long way over here, so long as you are successful in the UK. Sending my love and support!
    7
  1845. Thanks Gary. This is a good explanation. I particularly liked how you stated your grandfathers generation would be mortgage free by 40, your father half way by 40 and now the children might still have 80/90% on the mortgage at 40. Generational slippage
    7
  1846. Top stuff Gary. Would you be interested in coming to talk to a political meeting sometime about wealth taxes?
    7
  1847. Really interesting and informative. Worrying signs if the viscious cycle that increases inequality also increases the speed of the growth inequality as well
    7
  1848. Liked with comment and shared
    7
  1849. Thanks for the message mate if anything it’s good for our mental health so we don’t beat ourselves up for not being at the top.
    7
  1850. Thank you, Gary, for another great analysis. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You have opened so many people’s eyes to the understanding of economies.
    7
  1851. Are there any of your ex-work colleagues who feel the same as you? Or are their lives & experiences so remote from those on struggle street and in poverty they don't see it as a problem?
    7
  1852. Great interview man!
    7
  1853. new follower seen a few of your uploads very imformative certainly opened my eyes keep it going
    7
  1854. Glad to have found you Gary !! 200 yrs my family have fought for this country bar me not allowed by my dad. Hard working family man not a pot to piss in as the top end have took it all you know who they are and glad you are giving it them. Carry on my man don't let the bastards grind you down.70 now me seen most but this lot need nailing
    7
  1855. On the rent / mortgage debate it is probably worth adding that with a repayment mortgage you are investing into a property and paying interest. However, you could chose to pay just rent and invest in something else, say the stock market, and if compared in that way using a standard index fund you may very well be better off having invested in stock rather than a home. So that it’s always better to buy than rent needs to considered in a more comparable context.
    7
  1856. I was really hoping in the past months that gary would someday run for british PM so he could get these ideas out there, maybe this would take 10 years at a rough estimate now I just think this channel needs to continue going viral, the faster the better - as soon as more people learn more about this info gary presents, i think public perception can sway political action to make this happen quicker than me may think, maybe this takes 3 years if this channel continues to really pop off and more and more younger people use these points to help others to understand I think of the example of how australia is enforcing quite strong legislation to ensure that multinational corporations are transparent about their taxes (cbc reporting fyi), which is a global first - once enough people realise what needs to change, public action can set the legal precedent in a few years - this gives me hope
    7
  1857. great stuff - very clear
    7
  1858. Thanks Emile - it is my mate Simran (AKA Mohan Media) that does all the camera work/editing, so I will pass on your compliment. I would say that some of the basic things that I learnt in undergrad (which was at LSE, not Oxford) were useful, although it was still quite over-mathematised. The 2 year Oxford masters was almost completely useless in terms of the macroeconoimcs that was taught. What WAS useful from both degrees was that it taught me what was missing from economics teaching - an understanding of class diversity, an interest in "the economy" as it affects ordinary people. Understanding the total lack of teaching about inequality definitely helped me to understand why the market predictions were so bad post 2008, and that helped me to be confident in betting against those predictions. So ultimately, the education WAS useful, but more because it taught me what economists were NOT looking at, rather than teaching me that much about the actual economy. If you want to read more about economic theory, and you haven't already read it, check my website www.wealtheconomics.org
    7
  1859. Gary you’re a top man! I’m from a poor background also. I try and tell people about this everyday. Wherever I go. We are not educated about money and how it all really works. Your told to go to school to get a job and that’s it. it’s a rich boys club and we are not in it! The bottom 70% can be heard but I unfortunately they don’t realise it yet we have to fight or we are f**ked. George From North London.. 😎
    7
  1860.  @garyseconomics  "even if the money were destroyed" - that's a powerful statement that really hits the heart of the problem. Effectively (preaching to the converted, sorry) you're saying that short of giving it back to the rich there isn't a "bad" way of spending it - anything would be better for equality than where it is today... that's an enlightening thought.
    7
  1861. Thanks Gary. Really useful information.
    7
  1862. Gary for PM🎉
    7
  1863. I it funny, that your channel got recommended to me only after spending more or less two weeks on YouTube searching for podcasts about Leonard's "Lords of easy money" and Piketty's "Capital". And I ended up with these two books only after I decided, that my sense of disappointment with the world can not be only a famous millennial anxiety, that there must be something more to it. So here I am, basically realizing that there may be a really big problem in how the economy is working right now (assuming you, Piketty, Leonard etc are right) and it is a non existent problem in the media. No one talks about it, no one discuss it - it literally requires for an average citizen, to already be on the topic for quite some time, to be directed to these information.
    7
  1864. I'm loving the book so far, it's really gripping. For anyone considering buying it you definitely wont regret it. Let's get Gary to number 1 and get his message out there
    7
  1865. Good man Gary, you are a big piece in the puzzle of putting our country in order again,wish there were politicians with your patriotism.
    7
  1866. Class. The truth will out if people are brave enough to say it and the more people realise this, ASAP, the faster the brakes can go on. Capitalism, if not regulated I believe will cause a massive collapse. Things run out....
    7
  1867. Just joined the Patreon - let's go!
    7
  1868. Wish everyone explained this like you do Gary - you need to take this global.
    7
  1869. "Good luck, and thank you." Something about that ending sent chills down my spine. From what it looks like, even if we fight to prevent it, a "collapse" is inevitable. To be human is to fight against it, regardless, and give your all to avoid an outcome that may be beyond your own individual ability. To remain sane is to hold on to the hope that with your efforts, others will remain sane as well-- inspired to do the same as you. To remain a David, having faith and confidence in what is good, righteous, and just, against a Goliath that would otherwise surely defeat you. What would you do? This is what you should do, less what seems inevitable become absolute and all encompassing.
    7
  1870. I can’t understand why more people aren’t listening. Keep banging on. 👍🏻
    7
  1871. No brainer purchase - first time I've pre-ordered a book, all the best Gary
    7
  1872. Gary, you really are a shining light for everyone facing poverty and economic degredation. You're a true warrior, cutting through all the capitalist BS and cloudy obfuscations that typically cloud the vision of hard working people (and protect those with extreme wealth) - a defender of the just and right. We need you, we appreciate you, don't give up - your message IS working, people ARE waking up (even if cold in the morning because they can't afford to heat their home). We hear you, we just need to know how best to act now..

  1873. As always, beautiful
    7
  1874. And reports they are coming after us middle earners by removing 40% tax relief on pension contributions. I earn a modest income, supporting a family and they still want to take more.
    7
  1875. Best video yet! Clear, concise and constructive. Let's do this
    7
  1876. Again, another great and insightful video. Like that old saying "those who feel it, know it". Thanks for publishing content despite it being the festive period. Wishing you well as always!
    7
  1877. Me and my partner are on the lucky side (We both have some assets), but we still see this is fucked up... It's soo sad that arround me, people who are most affected by this (paying bigger and bigger shares of their income as rents or other expenses) are the biggest defenders of this system. They are infuriated about trans women in sport or immigrants or any other shitty thing and I've taken the stance to never discuss any topic that is not wealth inequality and explain that we are entering neofeudalism.
    7
  1878. This was a fine piece of deductive analysis Gary. Spot on. ❤
    7
  1879. What you're doing is incredible. I'll spread the word
    7
  1880. much needed video. i'd love to send it to about 4 people i know but i don't want to offend them by implying they've been foolish so I guess i won't. but it's a shame. thanks Gary. you have a real heart.
    7
  1881. I absolutely love your channel, so glad I came across it.
    7
  1882. Looks like Hogwarts! Easy to see, though, how such folks are so disconnected from reality.
    7
  1883. right on the button geez, on the BBC website today!
    7
  1884.  @garyseconomics  They really are keen to get people's houses; perhaps you will recall the spate of TV adverts from various companies selling 'equity release' - did you know you might have loads of money trapped (trapped! the horror!) in your home? - with images of smiling OAPs, and cartoon houses being upended and shaken and gold coins and banknotes falling out the chimney. Of course, 'equity release' (sounds nice, right? who doesn't like equity? or release, for that matter) is actually an utterly opaque way to refer to a loan secured on your home for which, since you're an old codger, they will generously eschew seeking repayment seeing as they'll get the house in short order (or alternatively, if you're old enough(!), to selling your house with the proviso you get to live in it until you peg out). And all that advertising didn't come cheap, I can tell you, so someone's doing well out of it...
    7
  1885. Brilliant ,as one was exactly as Gary describes for us mere mortals it's a mugs game. The whole system is geared for the masses to lose money, not make it. You'll need to have lots of money to maintain a good trading margin, and if you have that, why trade? Thanks again Gary.
    7
  1886. Hey Gary, I work in project management within educational publishing, I was considering moving back to the UK from Japan, but looking at job that paid even £40,000+ I made the decision it simply would ruin my standard of living. The British economy is fundamentally broken and you are diagnosing the problem quite succinctly.
    7
  1887. Great video, very important message you’re spreading.
    7
  1888. Well said. Brutally down to earth.
    7
  1889. I've watched all your videos now and really agree with what you're doing. But please can you explain your estimations on Sunak's passive income? I've heard you say 2, 3, 20, 30, 40 Million per year through various videos now. I appreciate it's probably a very rough figure and I'm not trying to nit-pick but when you hear factors of 10 difference between videos I think it needs some clarification.
    7
  1890. "It's easy for the powerful to dispossess the powerless" - I'm with you Gary, I'll get in touch.
    7
  1891. Thanks Gary! Our eyes have been opened.
    7
  1892. Another Sunday video lovely , with a beer and popcorn in the garden
    7
  1893. Hey Gary, i love your content. I'm from Poland and we are suffering more and more from what you are describing. Lets hope for the best
    7
  1894. Always informative & on point. You should be the chancellor mate. No joke
    7
  1895. gary you should get in contact with russell brand i think you guys could have a great conversation about inequality and politics as he advocates for more equality aswell but from a more political and social stance. It would be a great way to get more recognition for ur work and help spread the message, it would be an interesting conversation to listen to.
    7
  1896. Thank you for what you do Gary!
    7
  1897. Excellent work Gary good analysis we are regressing to feudalism , I.E a system where labour cannot change your station
    7
  1898. "There's a blind spot in the minds of many economists regarding the fact that money is a thing..." made me laugh out loud. Wild, but seemingly true.
    7
  1899. Thank you so much for starting this channel. I've never worked in economics but, like you, started in a poor home with an interest in mathematics and found myself rubbing shoulders with billionaires and seeing things I didn't think could exist. Hearing you say with such confidence and experience the same things I noticed fills me with confidence to spread the message further. Thank you thank you thank you. It's so so urgent that people learn this stuff before we end up with a violent revolution or a fascist uprising. It feels like we're on the precipice.
    7
  1900. Same problem here in the USA. To make matters worse, we have a for profit health care system, which means a person could end up losing their house or going into bankruptcy to pay for medical bills. That was a great presentation by the way.
    7
  1901. As always, a super informative video. Society needs to push for economics to become a gcse core subject too. A-Level economics gave me a basic understanding, which developed over time, just through being interested. While I will share this, and talk about it, I can't help but think that so many people who really need to engage, won't do so because they're just not people who want to learn about economics ☹️ That really shows how important it is, to get this message out there, to people who wouldn't know what to do for the best. The people the very wealthy are so very happy to keep in the dark.
    7
  1902. Thank you Gary for such a excellent clear evidence-based explanation and all in 15 minutes.
    7
  1903. Excited for this next season Gary! Really hope we're able to grow some momentum behind the movement! Cheers for the discount code also :D All the best to you and the newly formed team
    7
  1904. Welcome back, Gary. The future just got a bit brighter!
    7
  1905. So happy to see you again.❤
    7
  1906. As an American, I can say that a huge amount of his argument is not only direct applicable to the states but I have personally observed some of it. We appear to be in the same boat; hello neighbors.
    7
  1907. Great video - social mobility has been declining for too long. It's certainly only getting tougher out there
    7
  1908. Gary, if you look at the literature from Arno Gruen, you will find another layer below the greed for wealth and power. It's all about a broken relationship between parents and their children. We all want to believe that our parents always love us unconditionally and they will never fail. But they do, around 30% of all parents, harm their kids in their emotional growth without knowing, because they learnt it from their parents. The pain caused by that, feels like dying, so they have no other choice than to split off that pain. This is a quote from Arno Gruen describing the consequences: "But if pain is excluded from consciousness, then that pain becomes the foundation of a revenge against pain itself, which finds its expression in the destruction of man and nature. Therein lies the root cause of our illness, and not in the economic, political, and religious ideologies that we use as a pretext for our destruction."
    7
  1909. Great discussion as always Gary. One NB qualification to add: hunter gatherer societies were famously egalitarian ... inequality certainly does define large agricultural and modern societies but inequality is not an intrinsic, inevitable feature of human socieities throughout history. Also, as you mention, the Post-War period was an example where a degree of equality was achieved.
    7
  1910. Your videos are great Gary, I cant believe you don't have more views!
    7
  1911. Exactly! 💯
    7
  1912. Great to hear you Gary, so well spoken!
    7
  1913. An interesting and important video, thank you, Garry! I feel vindicated. We have a party in government who want us to believe that the reason people are poor, or not rich, is because they don’t work hard enough. But this reasoning is simply untrue. The vast majority of people work very hard for either little or only moderate reward. So if Hunt wants to talk about luck, or the lack of it, then he is being extremely careless and frivolous with reality. See my secondary comment/reply.
    7
  1914. Currently 50% through your book! From someone who started trading just over 12 months ago I’m finding it so interesting and relatable. Not to the fancy brokers lunch’s or huge sums of money but the terminology and likeminded confusion with how it works. Every time I hear a new nickname relating to the shape of someone’s head i have a chuckle 🤣. Keep fighting the fight Gary 💪🏼👏🏼
    7
  1915. Thank you. You have put into words my thoughts. Now I can use your video to eloquently and reasonably explain this to other people. Please, never give up even though you must be carrying a heavy load.
    7
  1916. The golden goose story springs to mind
    7
  1917. Found you through the guardian article! Keep up the great work... tides will change with persistence!
    7
  1918. @ i shared with a ton of friends. We’re all career airline pilots making really good money and scratching our heads thinking - “why can’t I buy a house?”
    7
  1919. We love you Gary, the more voices there are the better. Things are very bad for me personally and I know there are very many of us ✋✌
    7
  1920. Why am I only hearing about this now?!! I fully support this movement
    7
  1921. Hey Gary, I was fortunate to get a pre-release of your book. I’ve been reading it this week and it is phenomenal. One of the best non-fiction books I’ve read in my whole life. I completed it last night at 2 am, I just wasn’t able to put the book down. So fascinating learning about the trading floor and your story of ‘rags to riches’. I really hope it’s a success for you definitely deserving. I’m recommending it to all my pals :)
    7
  1922. Good on ya ! Be humble!
    7
  1923. Ive didnt understood economics till you came along. Thank you Gary for adding to my awareness. As a self employed person I felt the inequality through Covid and beyond. Your videos are alleviating my confusion. I didnt want to admit my government is corrupt because its a scary thought.
    7
  1924. "This is all I go on about.." Fucking straight up double bless you fam x
    7
  1925. Thank you for sharing this, it is totally devastating but people need to know
    7
  1926. Super wonderful. Thank you Stephanie Brobbery.
    7
  1927. F*ck1ng Brill. Thanks Gary #workingclasshero
    7
  1928. good video gary
    7
  1929. Life is hard for most people and we make our way as best we can the humanity within us does not go out but does dim small acts of basic decency towards people go a long way in my experience ( 75 years old )
    7
  1930. I love this collab
    6
  1931. Thanks, Gary xx - another educational economics session. Informative and logical. ! PS - Loving the loyal red polka dot mug!
    6
  1932. Love the honesty in this video. Its been very difficult as someone who grew up poor. Outwork everyone I know in my industry, and still be the only one who can’t afford a house (or one that is in London anyway). I doubt things will change in my lifetime so now I’m just saving for my kids to one day have a deposit.
    6
  1933. Also just heard you on LBC, i also have a degree in economics, UCL, and you’re 100% right obviously. Great to hear someone spelling it out
    6
  1934. Finished the book. Thanks for the story and your content. ❤
    6
  1935. The govt needs to reduce the demand from Buy To Let landlords and industry scale private landlords - they need to be discouraged. They are competing for land and houses with which to extract rent. This is pushing the prices up much more than the demand from hopeful owner occupiers. As an aside, any sustained wage increases or extra disposable income in the pockets of renters will soon get eaten up by landlords in rent increases - which will then push house prices higher as the landlords compete for the more 'profitable assets'. The whole structure and money flow of housing should change. Houses for living in, not to profit from.
    6
  1936. Been preaching this for years. I agree 100% and I love the way you explain these concepts so clearly
    6
  1937. I agree with every word. I got PhD in econ, ”no distortion at the top” and all that. Early on into my PhD tried to ask questions about corruption or inequality, and considered to do some research on the topic, but profs looked at me like i was a nut and advised to stick to conventional topics, e.g. health or labor econ or mechanism design, ”otherwise it might be hard…” and yeah they are very vested in their own research and the theories its based on, and as a junior, u cannot argue with them, u can try, but u tend to get destroyed one way or another and Yeah they rich, some extremely esp. in US… there was a paper on how most well established economists come from priviledged backgrounds and its hard for outsider to stick with this career. So, naturally, im out.
    6
  1938. I'd love to see what Sunak would have to say on the issues you raise. Preferably In that park, with his pants tucked into his socks as well.
    6
  1939. The greatest respect for the two of you for having this conversation. It is stunning that there are less then 4k views and 30 comments. Not an attack just an observation, and it is disturbing due to the importance of the subject. You have your finger on the pulse as public awareness is key to changing the system. Definitions are important and "rich" is one like wealth. Allowing people to have so much money that they are basically untouchable is unacceptable to a healthy society. It seems like y'all have a good feel for what is happening but no concrete solution. Again not a criticism, but and observation.
    6
  1940. ​ @garyseconomics noway, I was really digging the jumpers as well🙆
    6
  1941. This story reminds me of parents raising kids. Here he is a professional trader and his friends thought they could do it better than him. He is literally thousands of hours ahead of them in his skillset, and yet they didn't listen to his recommendations. He is right on the money about how dangerous it is teaching people to be traders. You have to mentally be ready for this psychological roller coaster.
    6
  1942. this man is talking the most sense to date and he can bk it up and put these things in place, the government will run a mile!!! top man keep it up!!!!!
    6
  1943. Hi Gary, I have one major and possibly disturbing worry. What will happen when the method of paying a debt, working. Does not exist. I your life Gary, you will see the concept of work go. Anyone with a job that pays a mortgage will be in the minority. Ps your uploads are bloody fantastic.
    6
  1944. We have a choice. Let's make the right damn choice.
    6
  1945. Good on you Gaz. Have a great holiday
    6
  1946. That is exactly it. I dont think that the government understands this very well. I was born in São Paulo (Brazil) in 1976 and witnessed the exodus. People coming from poorer parts of the country, mainly northeast, and building these slums around the city. They've got massive over the years. People obviously couldnt find jobs, crime rates started to go up and standard of living for everyone started to go way down. I see the same thing happening here in the UK
    6
  1947. Food for thought. Thanks Gary!
    6
  1948. The best and clearest video I’ve ever watched on wealth on YouTube
    6
  1949. This aged very well.
    6
  1950. Excellent video - thank you!
    6
  1951.  @garyseconomics  Been dipping in-and-out of your videos since the first one last year Gary, and yeah, pretty surprised you're not up in to the 10s of thousands per video yet, which you should be at least! A few of suggestions about scaling up (which might be useless, but still). 1st - People like pop culture. It's a good pull in for what could be seen as a boring/complicated subject (economics) to frame it around something people already know & like. A few EGs on this - The Big Short: What it Got Right & Wrong and What it Says about Society. - Hollywood Accounting: How a Billion Dollar Film Actually Made a Loss. Both of those might be a bit out of date and overly covered now, but stuff like that with the right SEO generally does pull people in. And, this sort of thing obviously isn't what you want to do, but it's the means to the end sort of thing. 2nd - Interviews. Can't comment on who you know or what circles you circle in, in terms of the public figure talkers on economics, but if you could get a high(ish) profile person to agree to a 10 minute conversation around the content of your current videos, that would help. Making it a regular thing more so! I'm shit at networking myself, but just today Owen Jones (yes, people have strong feeling for & against him!) retweeted your newest video out. Maybe send him a message that you'd be free to talk about economics. Being on the BBC and other radio is one thing, but people our age and younger only engage with the online world more so. They won't be subscribed to these historic establishment outputs so won't hear you to begin with. 3rd - Like you've got a friend doing the video side, see if you can find someone who knows what they are doing on YouTube to help with the SEO side. Personally don't like the existence of unpaid interns, so asking a friend to spare a couple hours is preferable, as they know you and it's less a job and more just helping out a friend. I suggest this as the majority of 100,000+ subscribed channels on here have someone onboard either just specialising in this, or it's apart of their job along with something else. Even those in the 1-10 million sub accounts have to hire people in this role as YouTube, and the internet, is ever evolving. Had a couple others but this is long enough!

  1952. You keep going G they know you’ve got their number never sleep keep at them , best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪✊🏻
    6
  1953. Bravo, mate, soo much respect for you. I’m on a Gary’s economics binge atm
    6
  1954. Great to see you back, Gary.
    6
  1955. Well done Gary 👏
    6
  1956. Oh Gary! I'm loving this. Just brilliant. Thanks a million for increasingly being a thorn in the side of the pampered elite otherwise known as the adults in the room. Merry Christmas
    6
  1957. Good strong interview Gary.
    6
  1958. Really interesting thanks. Funny enough, My Nan said there was a lady who opened up a bike shop in Emsworth, She was a trader, sounds like she made enough money to get out of it, she said it was so stressful looking after other peoples money.
    6
  1959. Nicely done Gary 👌🏾
    6
  1960. Good to hear Stephanie speak. What an interesting person.
    6
  1961. This is a great video, Gary, clear and well communicated. I've appreciated all your videos, but I think you have stepped up the quality of your messaging since your break, I love how you dont really attack people but rather identify that they act from their own life experiences, e.,g. academics heavily attached to the economic models that they have invested their professional lives in. Love the Copernicus example.
    6
  1962. Love your videos Gaz. I’ve learned so much watching them. Come from a tough background like yourself. I feel so enlightened. I’ll keep passing on the word.
    6
  1963. Traded on and off since i was got the bug studying Economics at school.(worst school in Scotland according to tables and here was I studying economics) So after say after 34 years of that I can whole heartedly agree with Gary. It's hard and really you need information that other people don't have. I'd describe it as similar to the grand national where both the jockey and horses are blindfolded and nether know where the fences are. Trade for any amount of time and you will lose.
    6
  1964. I very much enjoy the profound comments, and Gary’s heartwarming messages about working together, as a teacher myself, I think of it more like a gardening job, watching the plants grow every day and being enthusiastic about it
    6
  1965. Appreciate your videos dude, we need more people like you saying it how it is. Would love to see more detailed information into the economic side of how everything works, gain more of an understanding and grasping the terminology for example. Knowledge is power as they say 👍
    6
  1966. As usual concise and clear. Thanks Gary for cutting through all of the bs
    6
  1967. Gary is the anti-Dave Ramsey. 12:41 is spot on.
    6
  1968. Err… how come nobody has mentioned the vest? Look at the vest! Look how mental the vest is! It’s a purple drape vest! It’s amazing…
    6
  1969. Hi Gary, As always, providing key nuggets. Thanks for the video. It was great seeing you last Saturday; cyling your way to the Leyton Orient game. I still can't believe it. Have a great week.
    6
  1970. Spirited Away was my kids' favourite film when growing up. Great top!
    6
  1971. In Scotland, mortgage advisors get a flat fee regardless of the mortgage provider I believe.
    6
  1972. this was awesome information
    6
  1973. So, this begs the question - why don’t the government - especially Tory governments - not do this. My belief is that this is deliberate social engineering. The Tories want to keep the poor as poor as possible. If people are struggling just to survive, their energy is focused just on surviving, so the pose no threat to the establishment. However, if wealth was more fairly distributed and poor people had more, they would become ambitious and - in time - become a threat to the established order that they currently own. So, it’s not a question of limited resources but, instead, a question of political priorities. Would you agree?
    6
  1974. Yoo U still on holiday in Japan ?? We are all back and grinding waiting for you mate 😄🤷
    6
  1975. Yup, I've purchased the audiobook
    6
  1976. It is not acceptable Gary. These are important videos to make. Educate us. Change our unjust unfair world.
    6
  1977. Hope you're having a lush time in Japan. Bike touring over there looks amazing! Patreon seems like a really good idea too. Burnout is so common with this kind of campaigning so you really need to look after yourself. Spread some of the load!
    6
  1978. I’ve learned more about how this stuff works, in the past few weeks, than I learned in 60 years.. They should be teaching this stuff in schools..!
    6
  1979. Good video
    6
  1980. Nate Hagens core message from his Great Simplification podcast is about energy blindness. Just as Gary has pointed out that economists have no inequality in the economic models, Nate points out that energy is also completely missing from economic models. This is also dangerous to put it mildly.
    6
  1981. I was in the toilets of Citi and the 2 heads of the company were talking about their $1 bet on getting Gary to be successful at the company....oh wait that was haha. You done very well.
    6
  1982. Another brilliant video, highlighting the ever growing problem of inequality. You are a very natural and articulate speaker Gary. I have worked very hard and come from a working class background. I’m a doctor, own property and can completely resonate with your words. The government (run by the super rich) are trying to muscle me out. They have made it difficult for me to continue with their unfair tax changes, whilst the super rich pay NO TAX AND ARE PLANNING TO BUY BILLIONS OF POUNDS worth of property over the next few years.
    6
  1983. Fantastic work, thanks again, one step at a time! Looking forward to the next one
    6
  1984. Don't give up. Spread your word for all of us. We are not rich anywhere if we have people suffering across the world . Rich is a useful word to sustain the economic status quo, everywhere. The same goes for growth.
    6
  1985. I really respect people who are highly intelligent and speak truth with no bluster or pomp. You are a treasure to society. Please keep at it
    6
  1986. Wealth Tax - Now!!!
    6
  1987. Really superb, Gary. Thank you. 👍
    6
  1988. Gary, I love the way you just keep the solutions simple and not over complicate things like the political class and their enabler economists. This video reminds me of when Rutger Bregman the Dutch historian and Author of "Utopia for Realists", said at Davos, that talking about economic problems and not mentioning TAX, was like being at a fire brigade conference and not talking about WATER!!!! 🤷🏾‍♂️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    6
  1989. Keep up the great work Gary ....I'm with you .
    6
  1990. Give me strength, the newspapers now think all their readers are stupid. The Times under Murdock has progressively got worst. I hate this attitude that somehow the poor are responsible for their poverty. When we have a government that has crashed the economy to benefit their rich elite funders and refuse to tax them, well we see where the wealth gap comes from. It's deliberate. I'm 76 and was trained in accountancy, so I'm not totally ignorant about how the wealthy manipulate the media and governments to further their own greedy agenda. I love this channel for its straight talking honesty.
    6
  1991. Have a great break. Keep going! Really appreciate the work you out into the channel.
    6
  1992. Just finished Audiobook; brilliantly narrated Gary. Japanese, Scouse and US accents are spot on! It’s gripping and really well written. The piece that is missing for me is I kept waiting for some kind of understanding behind hoarding all the money that you’d earned- to the point of in the early days being reluctant to chip in rent towards your keep at your parents, not wanting to furnish your own flat, buy yourself some well deserved new trainers etc. There didn’t seem to be any resolve around this even at the end, which for such a personal memoir ( and confession even!) left the reader hanging. All in all though, fantastic memoir and really well written. 🙏
    6
  1993. Really looking for forward to meet you in Manchester in the house of book and friends ! My name is Leo.
    6
  1994. Your having a massive impact Gary, thanks. Some random guy came up to me in Clacton while we was finishing a community mural & before i could get a word in edgeways he said "have you heard of Gary's Economics" & we were off lol
    6
  1995. This channel is amazing.
    6
  1996. Yes G! Keeping things personal and human! I really liked this one -the sentiments involved and the empowerment. Grassroots!
    6
  1997. I love these videos where Gary summarises a subject, feels like an economics lesson but made relevant. Please keep them coming.
    6
  1998. People who say "you're rich, why do you care?" are telling you more about themselves than anything else.
    6
  1999. This video feels like you’ve been watching me 😂. Been going back to the first videos on the channel and watching them in order. Learning about economics from you and spreading the message whilst explaining that this it just needs to be a tax on the super rich to fix inequality. It’s scary how accurate you were back then before anything happened which has just made me trust you more. Keep the message coming!
    6
  2000. Thanks so much for the amazing work you do
    6
  2001. What false assumptions is he making? Making a statement and not qualifying it is just as bad as what you're accusing him of.
    6
  2002. Wow, this is one of the most honest personal finance assessments I’ve ever heard. Money saving tips argument made me nearly fall out of my chair. Thanks Gary!
    6
  2003. Commenting for the algorithm. Keep it going Gary. I know this is a UK chapter, but it's such a massive global issue.
    6
  2004. This is amazing thank you for this video. Change your battery in your smoke alarm.
    6
  2005. Yep, struggled with this,after leaving the Army. Surrounded by integrity and honesty, then to London, surrounded by snakes. Got out pronto, settled overseas where there are more olive trees than people. Happy days.
    6
  2006. I'm politically right of center and confusingly find myself in agreement with almost every word Gary says
    6
  2007. Brilliant analysis. We need alternatives in the mainstream media, otherwise it's just the same old faces regurgiting whichever message they want in public discourse
    6
  2008. Just finished the audiobook. Really enjoyed it, great narration also. The bit with the flying phone had me pissing myself 🤣
    6
  2009. I'd love to see you debate Rich-i Sunak
    6
  2010. Thanks for another insightful video! Keep it up.
    6
  2011. A ❤ for every Australian watching this. 😢
    6
  2012. Another amazing video, brother! Thank you
    6
  2013. Thanks for it everything Gary. I am big’ing you up both here in Adelaide Australia and to my family and friends back in the Uk. Have a great holiday man. Much love.
    6
  2014. I was watching Spirited Away only yesterday! Feel like i'm in the matrix right now 😂
    6
  2015. Hello 👋🏽 Gary. Great to see a new video from you. Looking forward to buying and reading your book 📖 Happy new year! I hope this is a great one for you. Best regards, Phupinder
    6
  2016. Saw you for the first time on piers Morgan show. You are the first person to break down the economic situation that made sense to me. Amazing job there, lad. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
    6
  2017. ive put this on twitter i think we need to start sharing the important information more between all of us
    6
  2018. Bobble hat is hiding my man's massive brain
    6
  2019. Excellent video
    6
  2020. Absolutely brilliant speech - standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 There’s an African proverb I think of often - “If you don’t give the youth a seat by the fire, they will burn the village down”. This is how I see all Western economies right now. It’s like we’re on a knife-edge as to which direction this is all going to go.
    6
  2021. Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man. I hope you return refreshed Gary. That was one of the best lectures I've sat through. Your voice, your insight and your platform are much needed, and from following your YouTube I feel your heart is big.
    6
  2022. Gary please don’t stop sharing the truth
    6
  2023. This is amazing stuff. When I saw Alexey Navalny rocket into popularity I knew it was just a matter of time before somebody did the same thing in the West: speak plainly but intelligently about the class divide. The only difference is that you don't live in an authoritarian state. Keep going, your message will only resonate more and more with each passing month
    6
  2024. Yes Gary! Speaking truth! More power to you brother!
    6
  2025. Thank you for posting this Gary. The auto-biographical start really anchors what your saying in reality.
    6
  2026. Money saving tips work by helping you compete against those around you economically. You can't compete your way out of an economic crisis.
    6
  2027. "Money is the resource which we use to determine the distribution of the real resources." (7:03) Well said!
    6
  2028. I'm 2/3rds through the book, its been a fun read 👍
    6
  2029. Expensive lessons. I REALLY LOVE this kind of content. Truly liberating.
    6
  2030. I used the be poor as a kid and a student skipping meals and riding a bicycle to university even in the worst winters as I was living kind of far from university to save on rent and I had to save on transport costs too. I remember barely being able to clench my fist because my hands were so frozen and shouting that I will have money one day and not bother with none of this poverty anymore. Nowadays I got my 7 figures but don't spend any money on luxury goods. I don't partake in this consumerism culture. I still remember being poor vividly. I have normal working class friends.
    6
  2031. Did not understand the importance of a wealth tax before watching Gary's videos.
    6
  2032. Thanks for that Gary. Such an interesting way of framing capitalism that I've never thought of before. I would just like to add that another problem that's developed from capitalism is a pattern where folks trying to sell stuff are exploiting elements of our psychological nature (i.e. fear) to make us believe that we need whatever it is that they are selling and fear what life would be like without it. So it's not even what folks need, it's what folks can be manipulated into believing they need. And this seems to be the most effective marketing tactic and you can't blame people for exploiting it when the goal in this system is to make as much money as possible.
    6
  2033. This is the single most enlightening thing I've learned about economics after watching a few of your videos. Finally I'm starting to understand how it all works. Thanks
    6
  2034. Hi Gary. Love your content. If governments start taxing the rich do you have any faith that they will use it wisely?
    6
  2035. Where was this in school.
    6
  2036. We’re listening! And thank you
    6
  2037. This is the truth, massive respect to you, brother, your clarity is astonishing and your message is powerful. Brilliant mind, brilliant guy.
    6
  2038. My son is 14 years old and a graffiti artist-bilingual (French and English). I don't know why the algorithm gave me your page. You are a very intelligent individual
    6
  2039. Gary I thought your channel would hit 1M by the end of the year… but it looks like its going to hit a that by summer 😂😂
    6
  2040. Well done Gary, keep going we need it 👍👍
    6
  2041. Great video! Thanks for breaking this down. Your podcast with Conversation of Money was amazingly insightful recently. Keep up the great content.
    6
  2042. Congrats on the book hitting #1 - loved it.
    6
  2043. You've deserved a well earned break good sir, thank you to you and the team for everything you're doing. You're giving us normal folks hope for the future ❤️
    6
  2044. No fancy posh worded crap.. just straight up Frank facts.
    6
  2045. Your channel and your insights are solid gold. The British government ought to be employing you and listening to your expertise and experience. That way, we might stand a chance of improving the economic and social wasteland of our country.
    6
  2046. So refreshing to hear someone talking sense Gary. We do need to see the truth before we can start to fix this mess. Your message is not negative it’s realistic and it’s cause for hope. Keep up the good work 13:38
    6
  2047. Congratulations on the book being No 1
    6
  2048. Gary, you are a STAR. Imagine even if at least 80% of the wealthiest became supercompasionate, the greed will disappear and there will definately be a change.
    6
  2049. Gary, we need to hear more from you. When you doing a podcast?
    6
  2050. I wish you had included more people students/ professors working class people and shown how huge the class divide is. One of The most expensive cities to live in. Those colleges are so rich they own the city, take a tour of some of their gold filled vaults and then see for yourself how many houseless people there are everywhere. Love to you Gary. I appreciate your voice so much. Solidarity with those who were not born rich, wealth inequality must be addressed ASAP.
    6
  2051. Hi Gary, I was at your book launch a few weeks ago. I keep hearing your name pop up at the office (Asset Management). Colleagues at my prior company also. Wanted to let you know you are making inroads in your campaign. Great profile boost. Increasingly apparent how standards of living have diminished from one generation to the next. Keep up the good fight.
    6
  2052. What your doing is fantastic mate, Tax The Rich
    6
  2053. I’m 22yrs old all I can say is thank you for that reality check 😔🙏🏾
    6
  2054. Thank you for this
    6
  2055. You should start a party of reason and run for PM. I ain't no Brit, but if I was I'd trust you a lot more than any crook in office out there.
    6
  2056. Finally someone saying what I’ve been saying for long time and I’m just an ordinary person.
    6
  2057. Truth hammered in the head here. Well said. It’s sharing time
    6
  2058. This should be a 'non party political broadcast'. The rich have always been protected via convenient legislation and loopholes. These are easy to spot but no one had an interest in shutting them down. If this continues and inequality widens then there will be anarchy and violence that will lead us into a distopian future. RE : Elysium (2014)
    6
  2059. This is absolutely brilliant.
    6
  2060. Mate this video is so informative, I'm going to send this around to my friends and get the word out. Thank you for making these
    6
  2061. Another edifying video, thank you! :)
    6
  2062. Hi excellent video. Another danger is that weakening the middle class also weakens democracy you need people with skin in the game. The ancient Greeks understood this all to well
    6
  2063. Love the rice cooker. Japan experience not wasted.
    6
  2064. Love you mate. Keep going ✊️
    6
  2065. You get rich by seeing value where no one else has seen it, and then acting on it, to monetise the priviledged information. Gary gets rich by having no morality and tearing any and everyone else a new ar$ehole as a trader, monetising dissatisfaction on Youtube, and by publishing his tittle tattle trading book. This channel is clickbait nonsense. No meaningful solutions offered in any of these videos.
    6
  2066. You really explain things in such a simple way
    6
  2067. Great video and so important. I’m seeing these trading apps being advertised to people here in Brazil “trade and make profit in dollars”. It’s so dangerous and there’s very little real information available
    6
  2068. Sorry i’ve had a few drinks tonight but big up the two channels that speak some sense!!!
    6
  2069. All the world is a stage. Ilford or Eton it's a stage. Gary used the knowledge he had of Ilford to be right. The man is a diamond 💎
    6
  2070. What a great conversation. Can't wait for your book Gary.
    6
  2071. Gary, your videos are great. One of the few creators on youtube that I feel comfortable trusting regarding economics. Keep em coming!
    6
  2072. This is what that r/antiwork mod needed before their Fox news interview
    6
  2073. Thank you for highlighting these issues Gary 🙏🏼. I’m a huge fan of yours. I’m your typical rags to riches story - I earn well and own property. I completely understand and agree with you that the country is turning into a more unequal place. Please consider standing in parliament and educate the existing clowns.
    6
  2074. Another video by Gary 'I predicted everything I'm amazing' Economics
    6
  2075. You’re never powerless. Join an organisation for change, a union, educate and get your community involved in the root problems, and that for lives to improve in times like these it has to come from fundamental political change, the economy WONT fix itself.
    6
  2076.  @garyseconomics  thank you Gary, you've made a massive contribution already.
    6
  2077. Thank you Gary, amazing how you explain a complex topic like fiscal and monetary policy to the average Joe, in such a simple way! The Conservative party is going to be HAMMERED in the next election!
    6
  2078. As always, really interesting and informative. Looking forward to watching more of your videos, G 🙂
    6
  2079. Another outstanding video, simple and to the point and as someone else has commented, that graph just makes another part of the equation so crystal clear. Congrats on the book, I had it on pre-order and read in two sessions over 48 hours. I don't recall the last time I read something that was such a page turner. I read a lot but can go years between being so compelled to turn the page. Highly readable, engaging, exciting, concerning. I hope someone has optioned the film rights!
    6
  2080. Really interesting video. You explain economic issues really well. However, I think the main problem, which you did not talk about in this interview, is that the people sucking up all the assets are the same people who control politics: through the media, think tanks, political party funding and control of financial flows (not to mention the fact that politicians themselves disproportionately wealthy: a quarter of all ministers in the current UK government are landlords). Anybody posing a political threat to the wealth of these people seems to just get destroyed (e.g. Corbyn, Sanders, and Syriza)
    6
  2081. Excellent explanation.
    6
  2082.  @garyseconomics  Wish you the best with the writing.
    6
  2083. Hi Gary, hope you’re well. I’ve been watching your content for a while now, keep up the good work. I read your interview in the guardian yesterday and wondered whether you could share how you go about learning languages. Is there a particular company, resource etc that you recommend? I’d like to learn French and Spanish.
    6
  2084. Thank you Gary. We are so busy on survival mode but stopping and listening to your insight is invaluable. Thank you 🙏
    6
  2085. "I'm not a philosopher, I just dont want things to be really sh*t" - Karl Marx. 😂
    6
  2086. I'm going to share also this video with my son and daughter. Thank you!
    6
  2087. Funnily enough the first thought I had when I first saw this story was "I wonder what Gary Stevenson makes of this". Looks like my answer came very quickly.
    6
  2088. Brilliant Gary. My fear is that when a Government be it red or blue comes for the assets, it’ll be the assets of the middle class to the benefit of the very poor and the Super rich. Who always remain untouched because they but Governments. The system.
    6
  2089. Love this dude , keep preaching!
    6
  2090. I feel like I learn something new when I watch Gary's videos
    6
  2091. That was a Very Good one, Gary! You've absolutely got to the root of the problem - now we know where we're going, and we have a basis to work out what we need to do!
    6
  2092. Good to see you back so clear and determined Gary
    6
  2093. You are a top man and it’s great to have you back with hopefully a renewed sense of enthusiasm to improve the lives of the many. I can’t understand why a government (and I’m not just talking about here in the UK) wouldn’t try and bring you in as an advisor. Keep up the great work - I love the idea of bringing economical knowledge to the masses.
    6
  2094. Cheers, Gary. I really enjoy your videos about economics. 👍 Love a deeper dive into that stuff!
    6
  2095. Heh-haay! Welcome back! Been looking out for you! I had a feeling it was to do with writing a book. Will I be able to afford it? Will there be an e-book? Paperback (usually cheaper)? What's the book mainly about - is it an autobiography or about wealth inequality, or both? Not being funny, but Waterstones is quite an expensive bookshop. We've got one round my way, put it this way: I don't go in there. Ps I must say I really missed you, kept looking out for a notification and it never came. Thank God you're back.
    6
  2096. I'm from Hawaii and am willing to support you when I can. I absolutely believe you're work is important for us 95% around the world..... Not just the UK .. Let's do this! It's time to change our world we live in...
    6
  2097. Wow- I had so many aha moments here! Thanks so much for sharing this valuable knowledge.
    6
  2098. Gary, I'm 60 just saw a documentary with you my old ass is listening!👍 Keep up the excellent work young man!👍
    6
  2099. Thanks for all you do.
    6
  2100. Gary you are explaining this perfectly and I thank you for the knowledge you are passing on. I saw you the other day cycling through Algate and wanted to say hi but it was a busy junction 😅
    6
  2101. I'm buying this as a gift for all my friends and family throughout '24. Your story deserves the biggest audience possible. Way to go Gary !
    6
  2102. Superb as ever, Gary.
    6
  2103. Great exposition and critique of Trickle Down Economics Gary - Thankyou! All made simple and articulated with ease - that's what great teachers do!
    6
  2104. Agree that money was given out. To businesses, owners and stimulus checks and furlough payments to employees. The biggest sections of society that got no to low support were: The unemployed Self employed / freelancers (myself included) Disabled or unable to work Employees did quite well, as did some larger business owners
    6
  2105. Unreal insight as usual. It would be nice if you could connect rich people giving out mortgates to how we all see mortgages, where you go to the banks like natwest etc and give the right paperwork and get given a rate etc. Like you talk about how rich people use mortgages to get assets like renting, but we normally get mortages from the bank so wheres the connection there? Great video dude I tell everyone I know about you!
    6
  2106. You should have seen a spike in your channel subscriptions during this past week. I've been mentioning your content when posting to the BBC News Have Your Say comment forums. Hopefully this raised more awareness of your excellent advice and insights and got more people interested in what your saying.
    6
  2107. Would love to hear your perspective on wage-price spirals, especially as rising inflation without rising wages increases inequality (given that you allude to it here).
    6
  2108.  @garyseconomics  and when you work in accounts for a few years you find out quickly what is simple to us isn't to ALOT of people. I think numbers in general scare a significant proportion of society. Before you came along I watched a Mike Maloney's Hidden secrets of money series which was also enlightening.
    6
  2109. Gary, thank you for sharing this talk. I’ve been following your journey for over a year and this is the best video I’ve seen so far. Amazing that it took ‘running out of videos’ for you to post it. Keep trusting your instincts and knowledge- you are on stage and people are listening because you have an important message. We all sense the economy is collapsing yet you are one of the very few to actually name what is going on. Have you met Bernie Sanders? I would love to watch a conversation between you two. Hope you have a good break you deserve it!! Cheers from London.
    6
  2110. Thanks for this really clear and well explained video!
    6
  2111. First of all, nice hoodie dawg
    6
  2112. Thanks this is super easy to understand, & makes me so angry!!!
    6
  2113. Thank you so much for speaking up mate, we can only achieve this together, please keep up the good work.
    5
  2114. Be true to your Roots and who you are RESPECT /
    5
  2115. Enjoying your videos and info Gary. I'm twice your age and half as smart. Even though I used to live in Ilford too. Busy Cranbrook Rd, above the shops. 👍
    5
  2116. Gary can’t wait to read your book
    5
  2117. Don't stop championing this G
    5
  2118. Gary, I follow your channel, and have watched all your videos, bought your book, and often share your videos and interviews on my socials. You are on a very important crusade here, which is great. I'd like to ask you to start priming the people watching you, as to what they can (must) do in order to build the movement to actually tackle inequality, taxing the rich. 😀 Keep up the good work sir 👏
    5
  2119. If the economies don't fail I hope you've hedged your positions 😉🤞. Thank-you for speaking out but I think such large paradigm shifts will only come as a result of significant upheaval. We need more voices like yours with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences in positions of power and influence but how do we achieve this?
    5
  2120. Recent FT article was titled “what to do if you inherit a chateau”… 🤦
    5
  2121. So glad I found you as I have just learnt so much from your content. Will share and try to spread your message as I always do! Thanks and please continue this work 🙏
    5
  2122. Halfway through your book and, as expected, really enjoying the read. Thanks for sharing your story and all that you are doing to educate our communities - from a fellow working class comrade! 😊
    5
  2123. Good you are making vids on this subject, and making it accessible. Do you know of Richard Murphy from Taxrearch UK who is very active in the tax justice and MMT areas? Worth following or linking up with him if you aren't...
    5
  2124. Bro I’m addicted to your videos! I have always been interested in money / banking / economics but never really understood all of the workings behind the yellow tape. However the way you articulate and break everything down is spot on! Thank you bro 👊🏾👌🏾👏🏾
    5
  2125. A brilliant YouTube channel Gary. . I have bought your book and intend to read it soon. Best wishes, Simon
    5
  2126. im literally addicted to this channel . respect
    5
  2127. Gawd I feel old, this year I've switched to sensible shoes, talk radio and loving finance channels like this one. Thanks Gary!
    5
  2128. Saw you in Manchester - very impressive. Loved the book. A book answering all the standard economics arguments against you is needed at some point.
    5
  2129. Just found your channel after watching your interview with LBC’s James O’Brien. Fantastic content and delivered in a way that I and I suspect so many others can understand and relate to. Thanks 🙏 and keep on influencing. Wishing you well fella from E4 😊
    5
  2130. Loved your book, haven't got through one that fast in years. Looking forward to binging your youtube!
    5
  2131. This is the single most important channel on Youtube. If countries really wanted to support democracy and give everyone a fair shot at having a decent life, they should teach economics at school - this type of economics. It is tragic that this information is not available to everyone from the youngest age. Ordinary working people’s lack of knowledge about economics is keeping their children poor, as we chase unattainable goals in a fantasy narrative perpetuated by the rich, in which those who take everything get to blame others for the societal fallout of their elite corruption and greed. It’s driving the terrible trajectory we see playing out today, where the rich just get richer and more vicious with every passing year, the middle class falls into poverty, the poor live increasingly miserable lives, and everyone continues to blame all the wrong forces. Meanwhile, the rich gleefully fleece all of us - even their most loyal supporters - in their sleep.
    5
  2132. Your “no face” top is quite apt with regards to us not having a voice any longer. Loving the content dude. 🙌
    5
  2133. Well done Gary ! You do a great job !
    5
  2134. I would be wary of generalising world histories and reducing global history to the European experience. My country in the pre-colonial era was characterised by largely acephalous, egalitarian societies. Inequality started when Europeans created 'chiefs' to enable indirect rule. Unjust taxes, land appropriation, forced labour laws etc were then used to compel the indigenous people to enter the capitalist system in positions of subordination (no land, made colonial labour was necessity to pay taxes etc.) With time, the colonialist recognised the need to offer minimal education to some indigenous people to lower the administrative costs of empire and enhance the gains of resource extraction and expatriation. Consequently, a new petit bourgeois class was created...it's a long history and what's even more interesting is how these dynamics play out after independence via neocolonialism.
    5
  2135. Nice. Keep at it; I do hope your channel takes off.
    5
  2136. Bloody hell you’re brilliant mate!
    5
  2137. God Bless you Gary. May your spiritual awakening enlighten others around you. May your hearts yearnings be realised. May you find your true calling. May your humanity shine through. May you find true contentment and peace of mind and soul. Humanity has fallen far far away from its original purpose and the love of the world has deceived a vast majority of us. We have to be each others keeper. Enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil. Peace.
    5
  2138. ​ @garyseconomics  Your platform has brilliant scaling potential so either way, your mate won't be volunteering for long. As someone in their mid-late 20s itching for financial prosperity, your content is so helpful - especially considering that you're still just a young lad who's come up from the streets!
    5
  2139. Gary I can seriously say that I am a fan. Things changed for me when I realised inflation in the UK is on the rise and then I delved into economics even though I’m a doctor by background. You’re producing quality content. I was thinking of making videos on it but I see you beat me to it. You’re doing amazing. Thanks so much. People need to realise how economic policies affect them and how the financial system is a monopoly.
    5
  2140. Love the book Gary, started reading and devoured it in about a week! Keep doing your great work 😊
    5
  2141. Brilliant! Thank you for explaining in terms I understand what's been rolling around in my head !!
    5
  2142. Good job Gary! Thanks
    5
  2143. I remember you said in a previous video. That 450 billion was given to the rich during the pandemic (which was the equivalent of 1k per person in the uk). Which also seems to be how much people are being squeezed as a result of inflation. Reinforcing your point.
    5
  2144. we just like the stock
    5
  2145. 12:00 - you speak like an engineer Gary! We do this sort of problem solving all the time. If the results are not what is expected from a proven model, it means one of the assumptions that are used to build the model is wrong. I'm not an economist obviously but from your book it sounds like that kind of critical thinking and problem solving are not taught in the economics curriculum.
    5
  2146. Just wanted to say that honestly you don't understand the value in educating people on what's actually happening in the economy. I have shared your channel with so many people and you would be surprised with the amount of people are just grateful to understand what's happening. Thanks so much for actually helping myself and others see the bigger picture. Hope you had a good rest and reset as there is so much more work collectively to achieve!
    5
  2147. This is a banger of a video and cuts through to the meat of the problem, awesome work! ❤
    5
  2148. Love you Gary!! ❤ Keep nipping at their heels.
    5
  2149. oh damnnnn son!!!! HE IS BACK!!!!
    5
  2150. Keep going Gary! It’s so refreshing and massively unusual to find a principled soul like you who didn’t forget where he came from. One who’s soul didn’t get bought and corrupted. ❤ Just bought your book 👌🏽
    5
  2151. Your best video so far. In the space of four minutes you give us the problem, the cause of the problem and the solution. And it's nice the way you differentiate between lawyer level rich and aristocratic rich. Who could argue against this? Only aristocrats, or people who they fund.
    5
  2152. I have a good friend who explained and taught me the basics of 'outcome focused communication'; How you feel about things and what you feel is right are not important, it's purely about saying the things you need to to achieve the outcome you desire... manipulation as a management skill. mad.
    5
  2153. Great to hear you given the space to talk relatively in depth across the issues...tidy little plug of the channel too ;D.
    5
  2154. Brilliant book. Listened on Audible. Excellent from start to finish.
    5
  2155. This channel is the best. Keep it going Gary

  2156. Hey Gary just got done with your audiobook and man, I couldn't put it down! The concept you talk about, with the ultra-rich squeezing out the middle class by shrinking assets, it's a real eye-opener. We've gotta figure out a way to stop that train wreck! For us regular folks, maybe the best bet is to try and find cheap rental properties, toss our cash into index trackers, and cross our fingers for that sweet compound interest magic to kick in. Hopefully, down the line, we'll have enough assets to break free from the grip of the wealthy elite. In terms of house prices what if we shook things up with a massive housing building programme ? Could that help stabilise housing prices, at the very least? It's kinda crazy how in British media and society, if food or fuel prices spike, it's bad, but when housing costs soar, it's somehow celebrated. Housing is a primary need. You only have to look at the French Revolution to see what happens when appress the poor for long enough.. Anyway thanks for writing what is fantastic book and making great content on here.

  2161. Very thought provoking video particularly the second part about perceptions, relative prices and inequality. I have a lot of trouble at work when I point out to people that our pay has fallen 25% in the last ten years because it is the same in nominal terms but less in real terms ie in what we can actually buy with it. My colleagues struggle to get their head round this concept. The house prices vs wages thing is the same. I guess in the era of the gold standard they would have had no alternative to deflation and falling wages as they couldn't devalue money. My personal view is that the crux of the problem is a change in the balance of power between people who have to work for wages and asset owners. The destruction more or less of union power and the reduction in workers bargaining power too through globalisation of production and mass immigration means that wage earners don't have the leverage to demand higher real wages.

  2162. Thank you Steph and Gary, you are both modern day heroes. 😎

  2163. Love the understandable breakdown

  2164. Great explanation Gary. Nice work!
    5
  2165. Thank you. What your share is invaluable.
    5
  2166. I’ve finished the book. Blimey, a cracking read and a cautionary tale. I did the audible as well and I can recommend it as Gary’s voice should be the one you hear in your head when reading it. Excellent book. Question for Gary: Is there an economist out there you would consider doing a follow up that encapsulates the work you’re doing now?
    5
  2167. Great video mate
    5
  2168.  @garyseconomics  Wealth taxes to correct the deep inequalities, with an added safety net of UBI, sounds alright to me. Most runaway wealth is generated through (non-productive) rent seeking, so I think that's where the taxes should be aimed.
    5
  2169. I can't believe this video doesn't have more views!
    5
  2170. Gary is a king amongst men.... Made the rest of the panel look like children
    5
  2171. The economy wont get better until people with enough money to do so invest in industry and create stable jobs for working people. Co ops where profits are shared among the workers and not share holders. ?
    5
  2172. Love this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  2173. @garyseconomics, ur a G! Actually a Top G!

  2174. TOP MAN you’re amazing Gary

  2175. Fantastic young man - Blessing to you🙏, and keep going, we all need you ❤
    5
  2176. Amazing predictions and how right you have been!
    5
  2177. Would LOVE to see you have a chat or podcast with Martin Lewis. PLEASE make this happen my man.
    5
  2178. Brilliant as per usual ❤ FIX WEALTH INEQUALITY ❤️
    5
  2179. Really appreciate you Gary
    5
  2180. How trickle down economics is still a subject is beyond beliefs!
    5
  2181. Just found Gary after seeing him on another doco about the economic divide. It’s not just the UK we are seeing this happen in Australia right now .
    5
  2182. The simplicity of what he's saying is as devastating as it is inspiring as far as the arrow of our highest longing kinda vibe goes.
    5
  2183. Hi Gary I’ve just found out about you from Australia. Shared with a couple of friends. Let’s see how it goes
    5
  2184. Just wanted to say thankyou gary i,ve understood how these systems work but only vaguely and the way you explain them helps me to be angry and thats a good thing more power to you young man keep going.
    5
  2185. I can't believe i am watching this for free. I just can't
    5
  2186. These are great videos and the view and subscriber growth shows it, I'm sure I saw the subs under 700k just a few days ago, now it's at 726k. I just bought the new book and will start reading it tomorrow, in Spanish too, wish me luck!
    5
  2187. Great points! We want to make positive/helpful content too! :)
    5
  2188. Enjoy your holiday Gary mate... Thanks, Gary.

  2189. To those of you asking what specific actions could be taken- I gotchu fam. Ive been trying to answer the same question based on deep dive research I've been doing since 2020. Im US based so some terms may not translate to the UK but hopefully its still understandable. I think calls to action range from the major, like being educated in the US financial system and macroeconomics, to the minor details like which brands to buy from and how specific tax policies work. Also keep in mind there is a difference between action while playing the game by their rules, and action playing a new game by new rules. Also, I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice. Here's a starting list, although I’ll admit these points run the gamut between very general and very granular: As Gary pointed out toward the end of the video DO NOT ENGAGE WITH POLITICIZING THESE ISSUES. Every family thanksgiving that ends in a political argument is a loss to the ultimate mission and exactly what the ultra rich want and need more than anything: DIVISION. Treat others with respect and learn how to disagree constructively. No infighting. -The current financial system takes great interest in securing your debt as an asset. Insane credit card rates, “house poor” mortgages, the rise of subscription-based payments, are all designed to keep you paying and increasing your debts. Thus, the first thing to do to secure your financial future is to eliminate all personal debt. -Be extremely weary of what you hear. Every day that new awareness around the ultra rich is created, they will also create new narratives to spin, disrupt, target, slander, discredit, and subvert our strongest voices and dialogue. Not to seem conspiratorial, but the mainstream media is owned by the ultra wealthy, because they know its influence (Jeff Bezos owing The Washington Post is just one example of this). -As Gary also said, follow the money. Someone in congress changed their tune overnight? Who’s lobbying behind them? Is it odd that someone would stay in office well after typically retirement age? What boards are they on that fuels their insider information for profitable stock market trades? Does a promising young political activist seem to lose press coverage and airtime? Maybe they’re saying something the ultra rich don’t want you to hear… The ability to be skeptical and think critical can give you x-ray vision here. -Become a defensive consumer: most everyday products you buy are brands that are owned by larger conglomerates that are publicly traded and therefore owned by the super rich. I know people aren’t making organic local toilet paper, but by buying local goods and services from local small businesses in your community, you greatly enrich local economies and at least delay the siphoning of money upwards in the system. Ian Carrol (he’s a little controversial but ill still give him some credit) has done some incredible videos on who owns the products you see in every aisle and the products you can support instead. Resist succumbing to narratives that using triggering keywords such as “socialism” to discredit an idea. Bernie Sanders is often cited as a socialist, but I think more accurately is anti-oligarchy. Also, for the American reading this part of enlisting in the US armed forces is a guarantee for housing, education, and employment- what’s more socialist than that? -A few years ago I would’ve said max out your 401k/Roth IRA if possible but there have already been data breaches and King Elon is interested in your information as well. As the great comedian George Carlin once said “and you know what? They’re coming after your social security money,” and “its a big club, and you ain’t in it.” Still, if you can find safe vehicles for investment and compound interest, consider it. -If you have brokerage accounts, you may want to opt out of any stock lending programs as it is suspected that the US stock market is riddled with IOUs and “locates” (meaning fake shares) under the claim of “liquidity” which is really just financial crime. -The ultra rich will not only break rules but change the rules. This may require some savvy research, but contact your local congresspeople and demand clarity and explanation for sudden rule changes. -I will not begin to promote or criticize cryptocurrencies as I feel I do not wholly understand them. Be cautious of any entity that promotes a specific coin, as many are destined for personal profit: Trump Coin, Melania Coin, President of Argentina Coin, Huak Tuah Coin, and other less obvious traps. The only related concept that I can agree with is the decentralization of banks and removing power from the federal reserve (which in the US is privately co-owned by the largest banks believe it or not). To drive the point home, the federal reserve has the ability to create money and increase the money supply at will (which is a primary source of inflation like Gary has mentioned). If this ability to create money out of thin air is true, then why would the government need to tax its individuals at all?…. Meaning, taxes for the common people are merely for appearances and to make you believe that taxation is necessary for the system to function. -Know the platform you’re communicating on. Think you’re commenting on a YouTube video? Just know that they’re owned by Google, and google is owned by the ultra rich. I dont know what the status behind other forums and “grassroots” platforms are such as discord, or telegram, but Reddit was just recently publicly listed on the stock exchange, which means that they are know beholden to their board of directors and investors in order to, you guessed it, “maximize shareholder value.” This list is not perfect by any means but hopefully it can incite others to pause and reflect on how their actions plug into the greater economy, how the current financial system in the US currently works, or how they can start to have actionable steps to head towards the greater good. Above all, I truly believe that treating eachother well is the bedrock of meaningful change. To echo Gary, there is no blue or red, no left or right, only the ultra-rich versus EVERYONE ELSE. Also, to Gary and his team: while I agree with Gary’s points I realize he may not agree with mine- please reach out if you would like to discuss this comment for any reason.

  2190. Bravo! for your honesty, and sharing. You are rich in many ways.

  2191. You've got a special talent, and you are using it for the good. People want to hear what you say 🙏 thanks enjoy your travels

  2192. He's got gloves on and wrapped up warm, so we're still in winter even though it's June. Bad weather, economy and inequality....Great Britain
    5
  2193. This was an extremely sobering watch. Thanks
    5
  2194. Just came around your channel after watching an interview . Personally as I don’t have a finance background I find it very hard to understand economic terms but you’ve explained them in a very simplistic manner . Thanks for that .
    5
  2195. Thanks for the video. I did not deep it through on national insurance tax compared to income tax, based on 12% targeting the lower-income families. It is a strange but cunning move by the government to use NI tax than income tax. Thanks again, Gary!
    5
  2196. Economists basically use it as a proxy for anything that happens unexpectedly outside of their predictive models. As Gary has said many times, those clowns think inequality is an exogenous shock 😂
    5
  2197. Why this guy hasn't got more likes I don't know ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  2198. AUDIOBOOK GANG!! YOUR ACCENTWAS FINE, IT SHOULD BE A MOVIES ..WELL DONE

  2200. I came here from your appearance on Novara. Very interesting, subbed.
    5
  2201. So much awareness and common sense in these videos. Totally get it. Cheers Gary
    5
  2202. This is a brilliant video and you really hit the nail on the head.
    5
  2203. Fantastic, really enjoyed Anoosh's profile on you recently.
    5
  2204. You make some pretty good points.
    5
  2205. Your a blessing Gary
    5
  2206. Host was an interruptive prat. Annabel is a disgusting critter. Gary is a people's champion.
    5
  2207. Great video again. Incredible that the system is so deliberately skewed in favour of the rich
    5
  2208. Feels like this one is very prophetic, looking at what's happening right now
    5
  2209. Doing great work mate keep it up!

  2210. We have to prioritise looking after Rishi, he knows how to spend our money for our benefit

  2212. Most of the 1% will disagree with him. I'm one of the 99%.
    5
  2213. I've been going through your channel in chronological order, and I have to say, you're getting more passionate and your arguments are getting increasingly convincing and well thought out. Good on you!
    5
  2214. Hard to self review properly. Really hard open to everyone. Well done Gary 👏 respect
    5
  2215. Great job, Gary!
    5
  2216. You’ve just started a war it’ll be an honour to pick up this interesting journey it’s the battle of interests vs charity
    5
  2217. Hi Gary, Thanks for this upload. It would be great if you can do these reviews videos monthly or bimonthly. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I really enjoyed this discussion.
    5
  2218. Great to see you back!
    5
  2219. Incredibly interesting and also puzzling that this connection wasn’t made earlier.
    5
  2220. Your channel is outstanding Gary, please keep it up. Love from Scotland x

  2221.  @garyseconomics 🤣❤️

  2222. (6:39) “I'm a nobody right, like I'm a short guy from a poor background in Ilford. I'm not handsome like a model, I don't have no connections you know, I mean I'm not excellent at football; the only thing I've got is I can make good predictions and because I understand the economy better than anyone else that is enough to get to the top in the city, but it gets you nowhere in academia.” Well said and relatable.
    5
  2223. Man, you explained that so well; I’ve been trying to understand what I’ve been seeing for some time but this is the first time I’ve heard an explanation that explains what’s going on…and the fact that you posted this almost a year ago and it’s spot on today says a lot.
    5
  2224. You are a very interesting character and I like how you have seen both sides of the coin in your early life already. I just subscribed I look forward to learning from you mate keep the videos coming :)
    5
  2225. Gary being a millionaire & casually dropping these educational gems for free from a normal looking kitchen is class
    5
  2226. Only 23,000 views???. This video and others like should be getting millions of views. there needs to be a major grass roots working class revolt against what’s happening but it is unfortunately only limited to various low paid workers strikes fronted by their respective trade unions. When you think back to the strikes of the 1980s the trade unions were much more powerful but they still lost….I see the same happening again…its a real shame. Oh yeah and this Channel is fantastic and I hope it grows into a sensation because there is no motive apart from making people aware of what the government with the help of the media are doing to the country.
    5
  2227. This is awesome, well done mate!
    5
  2228. Another Banger Gary
    5
  2229. It's just one banger after another with this guy 🔥
    5
  2230. Finally somebody who actually gets it.
    5
  2231. I've been waiting for this, thanks for posting! Have a great holiday
    5
  2232. The Jeremy Hunts want people to work for free. Shell has just announced its record profits.
    5
  2233. I feel you Gary, I am very much like you a simple Kid from a not poor family like you, but definitely not well off either. I hope to do something about this as I've I spent my entire life around rich kids and their carelessness and arrogance has always bothered me. You've inspired me and I hope together we can change something. Much love brother and thank you for your heart and courage.
    5
  2234. It is so unfair to put experienced government spokespersons on a show with someone who knows what they’re talking about and won’t let them off the hook!
    5
  2235. Saw your book advertised at the train station, keep up the good work!
    5
  2236. Hiya Gary
    5
  2237. Thank you, Gary. Your channel is life saver and the knowledge you are sharing with all of us extremely helpful to me.
    5
  2238. I’m with you 100% brother! 🤙🏾
    5
  2239. One of the best videos you've done
    5
  2240. Gary, thank you for your commitment and courage; it might get harder! Hope you can keep healthy, physically and psychologically.
    5
  2241. Let's facking Gooo! Viva la revolución 💚💐🤟🏼
    5
  2242. Great work!!!!!
    5
  2243. I’ve shared this loads. These videos that tackle a specific common push back are really really helpful. Cheers for making. Enjoy your well deserved break Gary!
    5
  2244. SO true and it's the same in parts of Manchester too.
    5
  2245. Brilliant Gary!!
    5
  2246. Comment for the algorithm, engagement for views. Words are become meaningless. Keep up the good work. Economists build simplified models because complexity is hard (ask a meteorologist) and then force people into that model because they think themselves as very clever for making a simplified model.
    5
  2247. I would like to hear from Gary about closing tax loop holes and how we actually effectively tax the super rich. And the age old statement that "they will leave the country" if we do. ✌️
    5
  2248. He's back!
    5
  2249. Thank you, Gary, for another frank analysis of the UK’s economy.
    5
  2250. Pre-ordered your book on Audible. Really looking forward to it as a birthday gift to myself
    5
  2251. What does a wealth tax look like in practice?
    5
  2252. Well explained again.
    5
  2253. Garry as always dropping CRAZY KNOWLEDGE FOR US!
    5
  2254. Makes a whole lotta sense✌ Thx 4 this
    5
  2255. Hear, hear. Let's get Gary in front of more people, not just us who think about this, but to our friends and family who are equally affected but do not often engage with economics and political economy questions.
    5
  2256. Good to hear a British economist on Youtube. We have more than our share of American financial podcasts on Youtube.
    5
  2257. Ive bought the audio book version of The Trading Game, very good book! Well told by yourself
    5
  2258. Gary where is the best place to buy gold from? Thanks for the journey
    5
  2259. Whooaaaa there! Did you say you have a film too?????
    5
  2260. I watched this from the US; my nephew born in 1977, worked at Bear Sterns and witnessed first hand 2008. He survived bcs he, like you, was extremely hard working and smart. He’s still on “the street” today. He doesn’t talk about the economy like you. ❤ I lost my job in 2019; haven’t worked since. Perhaps I need to tithe again.
    5
  2261. Tax the rich!
    5
  2262. Makes a lot of sense. Electricity consumption though to make crypto currencies is weird, I must get my head around this. Cheers Gary
    5
  2263. Yus ✊🏼
    5
  2264. Great video, keep em coming.
    5
  2265. A good man
    5
  2266. Hey Gary, thanks for fighting the good fight. Learned so much from you. It would be great if you could do videos ‘Debunking top tax myths’ (I know you generally do cover that in videos) and turn some of your stats/info into short graphic/cartoon videos for further reach. Have a good one.
    5
  2267. You should have way more subscribers and way more views on your uploads. What the ** is going on?
    5
  2268. Your a star in the field of regeneration of this country
    5
  2269. 250k already! I remember this milestone like it was yesterday. Awesome work.
    5
  2270. American here. Came over from the Making Money Podcast YT interview. Love the message. Thank you Gary. Sub’d and preordered the book. Keep it up!
    5
  2271. Another great video Gary
    5
  2272. Very interesting and informative. While wealth taxes don't usually excite me the way you have to this understanding is facinating. Great podcast
    5
  2273.  @garyseconomics  ha ha legend
    5
  2274. thank you gary, you need a break,
    5
  2275.  @garyseconomics  Just discovered your channel via Novara media as you plugged it in Fridays video. I’m glad I came. We deffo need more people like yourself being open about the situation 😊
    5
  2276. great stuff Gary, really enjoyed listening to this.
    5
  2277. Gary did you profit from this crisis in anyway other than just holding stocks and owning property?
    5
  2278. Thanks for sharing Gary. You are so open, so engaging - keep going love you
    5
  2279. That was some speech! . . . an end of season climax if ever I heard one. I’m beginning to understand something of your journey and why you keep plugging away doing what you do. Only the tiniest fragment though. I can see why you need a holiday. Have a good one. Rest, replenish. Get your creative juices flowing again. See you next month for the new season. God bless you for sticking at it and not backing off!
    5
  2280. the idea of lowering income taxes in parallel to adding wealth taxes is really powerful. The message would spread a lot better if 99.9% of people directly benefit financially.
    5
  2281. great work as always, very digestible and to the point. Checking out your website to get involved.
    5
  2282. On point as always! Glad to see you're getting more airtime, everyone needs to hear this!
    5
  2283. If our parents were able to buy houses, why were we not able to inherit them?
    5
  2284. Great to have you back, congratulations on the book 🥂
    5
  2285. Enjoy your well deserved break Gary :). Please continue your channel, despite the mainstream press trying to "discredit' you! I would be happy to 'donate' some of my spare time to help if you'd like.
    5
  2286. Looking forward to reading the book.
    5
  2287. That is a very long bridge, I’m trying to get all my friends interested in the way the world works and current economics. They’re coming along slowly
    5
  2288. I often say, my number one piece of advice is to pick your parents wisely :P
    5
  2289. Gary, I am loving your work. Its scary but knowledge is power. Im about halfway through The Trading Game and I have not stopped telling people to read it and check out your work. I had the very strange experience of going through Canary Wharf last week while reading the book, and it felt surreal. Made everything feel so much more real Keep up the good work x
    5
  2290. Love Gary never get fed up listening to him
    5
  2291. If Sunak pays I'll pay. ha ha. Nice one
    5
  2292. What are your views on a LVT?
    5
  2293. when gamestop blows up i'll happily pay my fair share
    5
  2294. If you can't imagine what £1bn looks like here's a way: if I gave you £10,000 a day it would take you 100 days to get to £1mn... it would then take you 274 years to reach £1bn
    5
  2295. Such a good clear message - thank you. Fighting the story that richness and access to consumer goods are the most important markers of success is vital. Its also vital to build another story in its place - a story that values connection, sufficiency, autonomy and community resiliance. And supporting that by working to change the system that favours those who benefit from keeping everyone focused on individualism is such good work.
    5
  2296. New subscriber, though about this a lot. So glad I've found you.🌸
    5
  2297. Ah man I live in Cambridge. I wish I'd know you were speaking in person.. If you go again let us folks know pls 😊
    5
  2298. This is great Gary. The interviewers questions were straightforward and it’s a good summary of your views and objectives. Off topic… why do you always wear the same clothes when you are a rich guy? Like I don’t want to be rude dude but I’ve been watching you for a few months & you seem to wear the same beige coat, beany & nondescript tops and sweatpants, is it a political point? Or a point about how men can wear the same and not be noticed? Bc I noticed! Or is it bc you’re too busy socking it to the man you don’t have time to shop? Just wondering! 😆
    5
  2299. BRILLIANT!😂 A breath of fresh air.
    5
  2300. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Enjoy your well deserved holiday.🌞🌞🌞

  2301. What a fantastic explanation love this series and all your videos! Keep up the fight for wealth tax
    5
  2302. Nice hoodie for the content ;)
    5
  2303. This is f-in genius. This is the best explanation, it’s a must watch to understand what money is!!
    5
  2304. Thanks for making this video, this has always been one thing I haven’t understood. It’s clear now. 😅
    5
  2305. Subscribed after seeing you on Tysky sour. What a man
    5
  2306. He's got my vote!
    5
  2307. I sort of agree with you but the current fiat system is also backed by nothing apart from government decree and if goes to 0 you are getting nothing too....
    5
  2308. I salute you
    5
  2309. @ Everyone reading Let's assist Gary make this common knowledge.
    5
  2310. Another great explanation. Thanks Gary.
    5
  2311. Excellent work Gary
    5
  2312. Keeping up the good fight Gary. I completely understand your dilemma and indeed ethical conflicts. All the money that's been borrowed by Governments around the world at the moment, necessary to stave of a humanitarian crisis is also unfortunately driving up those asset prices you refer to. I've learned a lot from you on the difference between wealth and income and unfortunately many educated people still do not get it in addressing economic equality. Keep up the good work Gary, I know there's a book in there somewhere and I'll be one of the first to buy it. Cheers. Tom
    5
  2313. Loved you on the bbc last night geeza👌 very interesting

  2314. Gary, just discovered this channel, it's sick. One thing that I don't quite understand, maybe you can touch upon. Most money creation is privatised. That is, most money (97% according to BofE) in our economy is created by banks in the forms of loans ("credit creation"). Does this money creation devalue money? Or, as the money is "destroyed" when it's paid back, is it non-inflationary? Or, does it depend on where the loans are going. So, if the credit creation goes towards productive investment - a new mine, building houses, a new technology in a factory etc. - it is non-inflationary. But, if it goes to consumer purchases or asset purchases, it is inflationary? One thing I noticed during the pandemic was that the super rich were borrowing loads to leverage their stock purchases. That's insane!

  2315. Great video mate - so sad seeing this happening to our country
    5
  2316. Congratulations on your book! Just finished listening to the audiobook version, and it was riveting. I'm going to recommend it to my book club. We'll done.
    5
  2317. Great video Gary, keep up the good work.
    5
  2318. This is awesome- so excited to see where this goes in 2024- we’ll done Gary.
    5
  2319. Holy shit! Some truth online for once!
    5
  2320. Gary I hope you get to go on national radio and TV to make the points you're making in this video so that more people are made aware of how wrong-headed and unjust Liz Truss's energy policy is.
    5
  2321. That is so clearly and powerfully put. No wonder the BBC don't want him on any political programme. I've shared with as many as I can.
    5
  2322. Never heard money explained like this before and I dont know why! Great vid Gary
    5
  2323. Hi Gary, There so much negativity at the moment! If you can be a voice of reason, as you are, and also mix that with positivity I think you could really make a difference! Thanks
    5
  2324. excellent as always
    5
  2325. That was a really great speech man but i think your Bets are safe, look at our PM and Chancellor LOL
    5
  2326. Thank you for your passion to help human kind.
    5
  2327.  @garyseconomics  More power to ya, mate.
    5
  2328. Great convos here
    5
  2329. Morning Gary. Thank you, for your podcasts. They have been very informative. If you are opening up to donations I would gladly give. Good luck with forging forwards. Enjoy your time away. You deserve it. ☮️ 🙌🏼
    5
  2330. That's only wrong in every respect, so not a bad try. If I build a big oven that burns coal, that oven is not "backed" by the coal it consumes. Bitcoin's value is entirely fiat, it's based on what people are prepared to pay for it at any given time, that is why it fluctuates wildly. Bitcoin wastes 1% of the world's energy, which would be exceptionally wasteful as a currency under any circumstances. As that energy is largely provided by coal-fired power stations, it is criminal and should be banned.
    5
  2331. Glad you mentioned Glasgow. The deterioration in the last decade is startling. I wasn’t sure anyone outside the city noticed! There are huge problems with litter, boarded shops and people in the streets shouting.
    5
  2332. Good video ❤
    5
  2333. Gary, the forces against you are great. You are making a difference. Everyone has to say enough is enough. Farage is a significant part of the problem.
    5
  2334. Loving your channel mate and loved the book! Have a great trip 🚲 😊
    5
  2335. Good video Gary! Keep it up, would love to hear your thoughts on central banks.
    5
  2336. Wish I found out about this channel 3 years ago.
    5
  2337. Really loving your content Gary, keep it coming 👌 👏
    5
  2338. I’m new to the channel but it’s great learning from Gary. I was just thinking that I’d love to read a book by him and then saw this video. Instantly pre-ordered! Will be reading it on holiday 😃
    5
  2339. A masterclass, subscribed
    5
  2340. No medal for me today damn 4th. It's the Olympics too 😢
    5
  2341. Gary great words ! listened from beginning to end . Farage may in your eyes be louder in volume but it's Consistency is false and manipulative! Your message is real and your quest is one that will change People's lives Change is going to come Thank you
    5
  2342. Another banger!
    5
  2343. So glad someone is telling it how it is. Well done Gary!
    5
  2344. We really need to talk more about this. TY for what you do
    5
  2345. You should have a much bigger following. I believe you need a few click bait videos, give your opinion on bitcoin or tesla shares and the wider impact, hit those high traffic topics and you'll get subscribers in the back of it, more subscribers will mean more views and unique views. Keep up the honourable work, good luck with the message
    5
  2346. Inequality - this is definitely one of the main questions to ask. Another question is why do our political leaders, who should represent the interests of the electorate, ignore it? Are they so bound by a corrupt economic system that they’ve become part of it? Science makes progress based on evidence, and the economic evidence is clear!!! Many thanks to Gary for raising this crucial matter!
    5
  2347. Spot on again Gary, thanks for being the voice of reason.
    5
  2348. The game aspect leaks into all areas of life, not least how people treat others badly., lie, perform. It makes people brutal and limited.
    5
  2349.  @victoriavelvet3689  You should post this as a new post, not as a reply to mine, if you want Gary to see it. Copy/paste will work fine.
    5
  2350. ❤We love you Garry you are an inspiration to all who follow you. I love your book and I have told everyone that would listen to me about you. To every Man Woman or child living in poverty listen to Garry’s story he never gave up as you can see. We all have something within us that can inspire us and motivate us to do better. Success is not just for the rich. Be proud of your roots and rise up. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t win ❤
    5
  2351. Thanks Gary.
    5
  2352. Honest man
    4
  2353. The economic perspective you offer the left is indispensable, Gary. Thankyou.
    4
  2354. Oh shit! An hour long Gary's Economics 🎉 I'm here for it 👍🏾
    4
  2355. So the Beatles song Tax Man is about 4 spoilt rich kids complaining about equality. Who knew.
    4
  2356. Love this video. Very well put. Sharing!
    4
  2357. Thank you for taking the time to do this type of content. I am 52 years old and leaning a whole lot. Thank you
    4
  2358. I like to think of it that money has gravity towards other money. It's not the people, it's just that money will vacuum in more money slowly and steadily because that's how money and capital works if you remove government from the system. That has some pretty scary consequences if we just 'let it run'. Also good book Gary, thanks, enjoying it so far. Don't think I'll look at London restaurants the same way.
    4
  2359. Absolutely love your very simple explinations. You made 100% sense 👍🏻 Looking forward to your next vlog
    4
  2360. 🔥🔥🔥
    4
  2361. Not only that it will make a very unpleasant world to live in for most people, increasing crime, poverty....
    4
  2362. Dont give up Gary, your work is too important. Such change takes time, you'r helping to make progress. But yeh we all need to be louder
    4
  2363. Thank you for keeping us educated and keeping this subject easy to understand. Brilliant arguments makes on BBC’s politics live too and calling out all members of that panel on their failure to do anything/very little to address this economic situation. Gary, one question on that show - you said the rich pay very little tax. Can you explain a bit more on this?
    4
  2364. Just watched u on Piers Morgan for the first time..such an incredible intelligent man…keep doing ur thing buddy
    4
  2365. Good video. Let's do this. Viva la revolution!
    4
  2366. Given that labour are likely to win the next election, what do you think is the best strategy to hold them accountable to make needle moving changes to address wealth inequality ?
    4
  2367. All the strength in the world to you on this Gary.Its going to be a bad arse future if the rich guys don't give back,sorry rich guys.
    4
  2368. You git, You could have told me this 20 yrs ago... :)
    4
  2369.  @garyseconomics  something needs to happen soon! I already "put up with" always having less than a fiver to my name now, after paying rent, bills and for food! (a brain injury doesn't help my situation either).
    4
  2370. quick question actually. what's the best structure you'd recommend to short BTC please? thanks
    4
  2371. I wouldn't recommend shorting an asset that could go to $1m+ , but I believe Binance is good due to low fees.
    4
  2372. thanks for sharing this gary
    4
  2373. Comment for the algorithm but also to say: thank you for all you've done already, all the best for your plan for 2025. Signed: an italian abroad
    4
  2374. This is brilliant. Thank you so much. I hope that more and more people will listen to you and understand.
    4
  2375. Gary... Thank you. More people need to hear this. I made my son 14y sit and watch this. I wish kids were taught some of these morals at school.
    4
  2376. It's so Gooooood to hear that you are taking a break to EN-JOY your Beautiful world Gary. Please do more of it. It is afterall the motivation to support what you do, increases your oxytocin and give you the strength to live many many more years to carry on with this work. Please look after yourself... keep your gasmask on first remmeber!!... so that you can continue looking out for us gazillions. You are a REAL STAR (and i am looking forward to your film - I think YOU ought to play YOU, because you have such a gorgeous public persona).
    4
  2377. I'm someone who probably reads 1 book every 5 years but, this book had me intrigued. I'm so glad I read it. It's eye opening, funny and at times very relatable.
    4
  2378. Great explanation Gary
    4
  2379. Gary absolutely rocks!
    4
  2380. Listening to your book. You are such a great story-teller. You do all the voices too! Fantastico!
    4
  2381. Go on Gary! They got no answers! ❤
    4
  2382. Got ya. Thanks for letting me know.. Keep the great work up. Good to hear someone with a knowledge and truth. Cheers Mo.
    4
  2383. Your body language and form of speaking is fantastic! I have autism and wish I could communicate like you. Well done, great videos. I will help spread the wisdom. (im an indie game dev)
    4
  2384. It all seems obvious as it's explained, but I have to say this is helping me see the pound through a completely new lens.
    4
  2385. Love Gary make a film about your book. Have finished it on audible and will start to listen again next week. Thankful for people like you in the world.
    4
  2386. Gary, I been watching your vids the last couple days and not been getting it at all, but this is the one where the penny dropped. Once money is printed, it’s first stop is..I get it now. Im still a bit confused about some basic stuff, but I’m learning GCSE Maths (at 40) so even the little bits are helping. Cheers mate
    4
  2387. Hi Gary great video as always. I'd personally love to see a video from yourself solely focused the actual reality of the impact immigration has on the economy supported by the evidence available to hopefully give a concrete push back against the usual narrative that high immigration is contributing towards falling living standards. I personally very much doubt that immigration has anything to do with the current system failings and it seems you also don't see it as a contributing factor but having a video with clear evidence to refute the claim I think would be a very valuable thing to have.
    4
  2388. Just found your channel a week ago and have literally watched almost all your content and being in America and just turned 40 I’m very thankful for your help with us all Gary❤ and the Kaonashi hoodie is 🔥!
    4
  2389. Found you thanks to Novara; will definitely be following your channel from now on. Such easily accessible, common sense economic analysis is hard to come by
    4
  2390. Thanks Gary
    4
  2391. Spot on again. How do I bet against the economy improving ? We got at least 2 more years of inequality coming. I need to move out my Mums.
    4
  2392. Commenting for the algorithm, because i really want change in the UK
    4
  2393. Just love this chap!!! I wish I would have found your channel few years ago
    4
  2394. Great vid
    4
  2395. "Not handsome like a model" - the only time I've heard Gary talk nonsense.
    4
  2396. So if I understand correctly, basically over the years various UK governments have sold off all our publicly owned assets and now there's nothing left to sell and because of that the ordinary person is being taxed more because of this short-sighted approach?
    4
  2397. Thanks Gary (and Jimmy), top drawer. Well worth breaking out the biscuits.
    4
  2398. Gary's messages are and must be heard❤100% Legend.
    4
  2399. Very well articulated and truthfull really great and important video I love it
    4
  2400. The real tragedy is the MSM have Gary right under their nose, but would far rather seek the opinions of their own in-house economics editors or some superannuated "Head of Economics" from an investment bank to trot out the same old guff. I suspect its because the fairly straightforward and clear cut message from Gary is not what their editors want us to hear.
    4
  2401. Best so far Gary! This is GOLD. KEEP IT UP!
    4
  2402. Thanks Mate. Good to see you releasing videos consistently, shame it was followed by an ad featuring Farage being 'excluded from the financial system' shilling for Reform, no doubt
    4
  2403. Thank you Gary
    4
  2404. You are so good & so clear as an educator Gary 🙏🙌✊🏻📣📣📣
    4
  2405. How is this guy not chancellor?
    4
  2406. Thanks for what you are doing Gary. And thanks for always keeping it short and low on jargon.
    4
  2407. Gary, sir, please keep the work up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    4
  2408. Look at the likes now this lad is amazing thank you Gary. ✊️👏👏
    4
  2409. Big up. Informative. See you in the north 😉 some time
    4
  2410. 21:47 this is the best part ....
    4
  2411. Really moving speech Gary I am holding back the tears. Let’s hope our Government has enough understanding to start to make it better.
    4
  2412. This made me tear up a bit
    4
  2413. You communicate very well, and your view on inequality inhibiting growth was an eye opener for me. Wheneve I see movements like occupy wall street or phrases like "tax the rich" I automatically think (rightly or wrongly) they are a bunch of freeloaders who wan't the state to reach into the pockets of others and give money to them, you have positioned yourself in such a way that you do not come across in the way I viewed them. . You offer a positive solution that would benefit everyone.
    4
  2414. I need to watch videos containing this type of information but when i do i get angrier and angrier the more i learn. I work 14 hours a day. Support a wife and 3 kids. We cant afford holidays. Our mortgage has just gone up 50%. Why. How is that fair. I want to give up.
    4
  2415. I'm looking forward to the book!
    4
  2416. i look fwd to my sunday hit fella , with a brew before i start work on my laptop,,,,,, your fast becoming the best undiscovered national treasure
    4
  2417. Just finished reading the book and would not hesitate to recommend it, top job Gary!
    4
  2418. Came from Uncensored watching you alongside Rubin. Subscribed because no matter if I agree or disagree with all you say and feel. It was a breath of fresh air to see a couple guests actually listen to each other as they engaged in a discourse while openly disagreeing with each other. Quite refreshing.
    4
  2419. This video came at a perfect time. Thanks a lot, Gary.
    4
  2420. Amazing video! I'm sure you, me, and everyone who watched disagree on many things, but one thing we can all agree on is that the best ideas are the ones that improve the lives of the many, and not just the few. People who share this basic belief are at odds with an incredibly powerful system that fights us at every step and most don't know what actions they can take to fight the good fight. Do you have any ideas on ways the average person can act today?
    4
  2421. Thanks for everything you do Gary <3
    4
  2422. Brilliant again
    4
  2423. Thank you so much for explaining what is and as been going on in the world economy. I have always knew something is wrong as I seen people struggling in my life and seeing lots of wealth but now I understand how the world works, keep up the good work.
    4
  2424. As an actuary, one of the key things we are taught is that it is key to note the limitations around models. It feels like these economic models hasnt really assessed this aspect of highlighted it enough
    4
  2425. Come back Gary! we need you! enough cycling for now.. xP
    4
  2426. This here is a good man. One who has felt the poverty and hopelessness and used his ability to learn and work hard to lift himself up to achieve success. I’m a fan ❤
    4
  2427. Watched you on Novara.. Great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    4
  2428. We have missed you, our working class financial guru ❤❤❤
    4
  2429. Mate these vids should have more views, everyone in the uk could use a watch
    4
  2430. Excellent Gary. Nice and simple so my mum can understand it. 👍
    4
  2431. The government debt = private wealth, so the right question - when you want to reduce government debt - would be, what wealth should be reduced or who should get poorer?
    4
  2432. Without sounding like a sycophant Gary is one of many cerebral and conscientious people we produce here in East London. I’m from just up the road in South Woodford. Add into the mix a streetwise awareness and you have a very formidable individual. Long may he prosper and continue his posts..
    4
  2433. Good to see Harvey from E17 looking slightly better
    4
  2434. Brilliant speech! Well done!
    4
  2435. The same thing is happening in academia.
    4
  2436. 🙏 Thanks Gary for being so REAL with us!!!
    4
  2437. Gary - this was a properly moving and brilliant talk! I'm from a broadly similar background and I feel like you expressed the realities and moralities of inequality in our economy! You're doing very important work, applying your impressive talents and abilities as a Force for Good! May God bless and keep you brother!
    4
  2438. The word Dividend for me will always remind me of that parasitcal family The Glazers who bought Manchester United, the team I have supported since a boy as I grew up in South Manchester and lived about 5 minutes from Old Trafford on a working class terraced street in Stretford. Apparently the fact that they bought the club or asset as they se itnin monetary terms on debt and then transferred the deby onto the club is something that boils my blood! These guys are billionaires and even rejected a 5billion dollar offer from the Qataris to buy the clin from them as their future projections pointed to the fact they could make an extra 2 billion in the future.
    4
  2439. God help us because the change still lies in their hands
    4
  2440. Enjoy your break away! Your channel and the information you provide has help me understand how the economy and finance work, keep doing what you’re doing, thank you 👍
    4
  2441. Gary, I’ll vote you as the PM in the next election.
    4
  2442. this country need more people like Gary! and less of the BBC pushing government narrative .keep up the good fight.........
    4
  2443. Good to see the audio is much improved 👍
    4
  2444. The man ❤
    4
  2445. Welcome back! Congratulations on the book, I can't wait to read it. Look forward to your upcoming videos 👌
    4
  2446. I'm worried you're not keeping well hydrated Gary. Maybe get some more drinks for the table.
    4
  2447. Thank you Gary for the people.
    4
  2448. The wage rises for renters just gets eaten by private landlords in the medium term. These policies need to be introduced alongside policies to reduce rent extraction (+ wealth taxes)
    4
  2449. Thanks for covering this Gary form.india❤
    4
  2450. I love how Gary is able to communicate what is happening and English that is easy to understand. The channel does need to get way bigger and everyone should be spreading the word. Like the videos more and make sure people subscribe to Gary Economics channel.
    4
  2451. Thanks Gary, I haven't heard this perspective before. Going for a 35yr mortgage for exam with low interest, will banks be more likely to place limits on how much you can overpay without a charge?
    4
  2452. Ps.. another crazy rant. Get in touch with Martin Lewis. He's always trying to improve people's finances and talks to the knackers in Government about it. Two heads together are better than one! ❤ 🤓
    4
  2453. There must be a complex bit of dynamics going on here. The wealthiest are in trouble if they own too much and ordinary people can no longer pay - I assume at that point the least wealthy become poorer. It’s similar to the models of competing populations - e.g foxes and rabbits.
    4
  2454. Excellent Gary! Regardless of the subject or one's position on it, that was an undeniably powerful piece of public speaking :)
    4
  2455. We've been doing it for a few years now. In Spain things are going to get pretty bad, we have millions of young people living with their parents because we can't afford our own house/apartment even those who have an actual job (to say nothing of the ones unemployed) We have a generation waiting to inherit in order to "have a life". That's not sustainable
    4
  2456. Excellent, talking a lot of sense mate.. you have a new sub 👍🏻
    4
  2457. Thanks so much for all your work Gary; you are an island of sanity in an ocean of uncertainty. I was wondering what you think is the best way to invest in gold. Cheers mate. Liam
    4
  2458. Another good video dude - thanks
    4
  2459. fuck man, immediately onboard and sharing your vids.
    4
  2460. Another amazing video
    4
  2461. Words to live by. If everyone looks after everyone else, everyone IS looked after.
    4
  2462. Love your passion Bro...Really informative content
    4
  2463. Right you’re my first Patreon donation. Much more worthwhile than Netflix and Amazon Prime ( which I’ve currently cancelled)
    4
  2464. @Gary - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Not only have you opened my eyes to what is going on in a way that doesn't patronise, talk down to anyone or treat anyone as anything other than an equal, you've actually done something far more profound than that - you've given me some hope, mate. I've not spoken to my Dad in over a year following a daft argument we had. He was frustrated at me not being in a position to buy a house at 38 years old, when he (as an apprentice electrician in the mid 1980's) was able to buy a flat, get married, have a kid (me) and all of that at the age of 21. He didn't get it, but to be honest, neither did I until I saw your videos. Now I'm clued up a bit more with what is going on and I finally feel like I have some answers I can use to make the first step towards getting back on track with my family. So, Gary, THANK YOU - what you're doing is inspiring and is already changing peoples' lives for the better.
    4
  2465. Nice one Gary. Good video. Please could you do a video on the 🏦 of England? Ordinary people need to understand it's role and what it actually is.
    4
  2466. Thanks you very much for this excelent work Gary!! 🙏🏼
    4
  2467. I’m gonna go watch each of your vids old to new. 🎉
    4
  2468. This was an incredibly moving and powerful message. When you asked yourself why is it you that found yourself in this position, I read somewhere that God doesn’t need us to be capable, just willing, and you clearly have a massive heart for people - I could tell how hard it was for you to leave your friends behind but you’re in a position now to help grow society’s focus on those less fortunate. I hope you’ve been able to find some time for yourself to recharge recently and I hope that you keep spreading your message, it is getting through.
    4
  2469. 100K! Splendid... BTW I'm from Liverpool and we have a splendid accent
    4
  2470. I would like you to do a model like the Novara Media lives, talk specifically about news articles you disagree with and argue your point. You are amazing Gary and have opened my eyes, I’m always spreading your message xx 😁
    4
  2471. Safer to Walk down mare street with your camera or phone out than invest in crypto
    4
  2472. Enjoyed you on the BBC documentary the other night. Well done and great work. Just a quick query/thought. Your prediction post 2008 came true - ie the recovery would never come. My question is, post-COVID, do you think that same trend continue - ie low rates and QE? Will the can be kicked down the road again? Government's have inflation to deal with now, so I would assume some rate increases will come. But I don't think the Fed/BoE can meaningfully raise rates without causing the Everything Bubble to burst. If there are small rate rises, but things stay pretty much as post-2008, the same outcome would occur - ie increased asset prices and increased inequality. What do you think will happen this time around? Be interested in your thoughts.
    4
  2473. You are amazing. Thank you for all you're doing. I will definitely buy your book and encourage others to do so. Well done👍
    4
  2474. Wow this is a real eye-opener for me. Great example of cold and cancer, well explained. Great job Gary always! I love the cute dot mug btw 😊
    4
  2475. What a gem of a video. It is helping me making sense of the world around me. It feels like we are in the end phase of a game of Monopoly, where one player ends up with all the streets and houses/hotels and the rest getting poorer and poorer each round.
    4
  2476. I’ve recently found Gary on YouTube and I’ve watched so many of his videos now..this is an awakening within me whilst I’m sitting back and absorbing what’s happening in plain sight, and we don’t see it. How can we change this system? Remove Tories, vote Labour? Campaign for electoral reform, but what parties are out there that are willing to tackle this? Would Labour tackle this or have they become too similar to the Tories?
    4
  2477. Super proud of you Gary. May this book be a start of a new journey for humanity. Everyone deserves a good life. 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖

  2478. Thank YOU for all your hard work! You certainly deserve a good break after a very busy year. I keep sharing your videos and will definitely continue to do so. The Green Party's tax intentions are massively better than the other parties (1% annual wealth tax on assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn. Capital Gains Tax would be aligned with workers' income tax. for those that weren't fully aware). I really wish they could form a coalition government with one of the big two parties, gain important ministerial experience, and go from strength to strength. I want a radical centrist party, and the Greens really seem to be that

  2485. Amazing Gary - can't wait to give the book a listen. Lots of resonance with my own background.

  2486. Thank you Brilliant talk Appreciate your honesty Fully relate to the mental challenges and what would I do. Cheers J

  2487. I discovered you about 2 months ago and now i'm obsessed - I'm telling everyone about you and just trying to spread the word - you actually blow my mind with a lot of the things you say and this is just a prime example - why doesn't the media explain it like this it genuinely upsets me how the so called honorable MPs are so dishonorable and deceitful - I'm not very smart but I've somehow managed to do OK but you're making me understand a reality I guess subconsciously knew existed but you're definitely helping me to see it clearer thank you keep up the great work

  2488. Keep preaching brother!!!

  2489. Nice one Gary! I hope these issues will be spoken about more. Sickening how things are turning in the UK.

  2490. You're not a dunce, you are just ignorant of this, just like they want you to be. Economics should be taught properly in all schools and then they won't get away with this crap.

  2491. Hi Gary, wondering where you stand on modern monetary theory ? Are you a fan ?
    4
  2492. Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is still watching this very informative content cheers Frank ❤

  2493. An important point Gary emphasizes is that each individual is behaving in a rational manner. If you have assets of course you would accumulate more assets. He’s not vilifying rich people. He’s explaining how the system incentivizes their behavior and how in aggregate that behavior everyone including the rich. Of course the poor stuff the most. Clear eyed analysis. Keep up the good work. Loved your book. Getting copies for my friends and family.

  2494. Ay Gary don't knock the halal fried chicken. 🤣

  2495. Keep it up Gary!

  2496. Great video Gary and I agree with everything you say here, especially about trading and crypto, which is little more than a sophisticated Ponzi scheme on a massive scale imho.
    4
  2497. Fully agree, every crisis can be weathered by the richest, if your wealthy you can come out on top.

  2498. Bailey and the BOE know that if wage inflation spikes then they will have to tighten policy faster and harder....QE and low IR fuelled asset bubbles can not withstand that without imploding.

Try to get a (1hr) interview / chat with Nihal on BBC Radio 5 - 1pm - he's a good journalist and he'll give you bags of time to chat about yourself and explain this existential stuff to 4/5 million listeners - (good for this channel too!!) - cheers

  2506.  @garyseconomics  thank you so much. I'm in the middle of drafting an email to my Labour MP Catherine West and I need to understand what I'm talking about. I will also share your video with her to back me up. Cheers Ps you are a Godsend. Without you I would never have even guessed all this was happening.

  2507. merry christmas to you too garyseconmics.

  2508. I get the feeling you want to be a bit like Friedman or Keynes. Where countries and people look to your kind of thinking to put in place policies. Good on ya and go for it. In the USA you'd have The US government wanting you to help with economic policies. Definitely if you had worked for Goldman Sachs.

  2509. Good work Gary. Great vid.

  2511. Less than two minutes in, and I'm delighted with this vlog already! I knew really, that THE answer wouldn't be forthcoming, but was much happier once I had confirmation ❤

  2512. You should be a guest on the podcast "Pitchfork Economics" with Nick Hanauer , those guys would love you :)

  2518. Have a great well -deserved holiday. I also see more and more comments that spread the narrative from this channel on other channels. I’m sorry some news tried to dig the dirt on you. Have you come accross “Who owns Britain” by Kevin Cahill and “Who owns England” by Guy Shrubsole? Highly recommend.

  2519. Respect to you I would love to be part of you stand for I'm 63 years old and it's good to look at things differently take care brother

  2520. Just 3/4 the way through listening to your book on Audible. As well as the obvious brilliant life/financial aspect of it - really finding your Scouse, Japanese, American and various European accents top notch and raising a big smile every time from me 😀👍
    4
  2521. Thank you so much 🤞💪🙏 can’t tell you how thankful I am for your words.
    4
  2522. Gary I've only v recently found your channel and I'm currently in the process of watching everything you've put out. You speak more sense in the area of economics than I've ever heard, I admire the fact that instead of just thinking of yourself and enriching yourself you have sacrificed that path to educate society to the gathering storm of inequality that Govt policy seems to be creating. Can you answer something that is often used by the Govt as justification for such policies namely if the rich are taxed more rigorously then they will leave our jurisdiction and take with them their businesses thus stultifying economic growth leading to unemployment etc..I have my own views on this question but I'd be interested to hear your stand. Keep up the excellent work
    4
  2523. I need a credit for that La Haine reference! ;)
    4
  2524. I live just a bit south of D.C., wish I could have attended but didn't know about your work last Spring. However, I discovered you in the last few weeks when your name was mentioned in the comments of an econ video I was watching! I've been resonating with your videos ever since. All of the circumstances you mention in your videos mirrors what I see here in the U.S. I'm sharing your message and content with friends. Keep up the great work, it's hugely beneficial to us all.
    4
  2525. So glad to have found you, Gary. Show everyone the tsunami.

  2526. Enjoy your holiday Gary.❤ I look forward to your return because you are making a great difference by educating us about how money works.❤

  2527. Have to correct you here, you are a gorgeous, intelligent, empathetic human being.

  2528. I am in my 40s and I have a well paid position in the industry in Germany. Probably I belong to the top 5% earners. To make it short I am not able to afford a house/flat, I also saved a good amount of money bur if I would buy something either I should pay the credit back within 40 years or no credit. My generation and I have been fucked up from housing bubble and since my parents cannot help me I can only play the lottery. If I would go back in the past and tell it somebody, I think nobody would believe that. Long story short, in the short term I am fine but in the long run I will probably homeless since the rent will be to high to afford
    4
  2529. Of course it can be better! It was in the 50s and 60s when there was something closer to equality.
    4
  2530. Your depth and breadth of knowledge and the way you can articulate it in a way that’s easy to understand is incredibly rare. Thank you Gary - you are a global treasure and a credit to the human race 🌎
    4
  2531. Keep challenging! Thank you.
    4
  2532. Interesting. Just come across your channel. I'm one of those older house owning folk you mention. I get it, very well explained. Thank you.
    4
  2533. gary, its incredible to watch you do this. Keep going strongly, make your points intensely, be loud and unafraid to say what you need to say because people need to hear it
    4
  2534. good stuff - I think your explanation of qe could do with some sharpening up though!!
    4
  2535. Another great video, G! You never fail to impress your no.1 fan :p Keep up the good work!
    4
  2536. So by saying money or cash devaluation you're predicting inflation? I can't see ordinary working citizens offloading their cash deposits into stock or shares tbh at the moment and gold is only for the in-the-know. Taxing income has been relatively easy, usually at source but taxing wealth, without pitching the middle classes against the working classes is damn difficult and I've yet to see legimitate debates, yours excepting on how to do this. Thanks Gary

  2537. Forgive me lao Tzu for my miss quote! Your words are power Gary!

  2538. Hi from Italy Gary. Fortunately for us Italians, things are quite different. People tend to prefer to live in small towns and, as you probably know, Italy is mainly formed of small historic cities such as Siena, Ravenna, Arezzo, Viterbo etc.etc. I live in Rome, which is quite a large city (nowhere near London or Paris), however, strangely enough, it's still a livable city and prices of houses are still affordable and not only for the very rich, such as London. BTW, I remember reading an article (about 40 years ago) by former Prince Charles, in which he was predicting what would eventually happen to London. Although he was strongly criticised, he was right. London has been stripped of it's soul and it has become the playground of the incredibly rich. Skyscrapers being built for foreign investments and then, remaining empty, whilst the "real people" have no choice then to move out.

  2541. my theory is that pyramids were build to distribute wealth back to the normal people. too much wealth collected to the top already in Egypt and they started these massive projects, that distributed money back to the society. ships, tools, stone, slaves.
    4
  2542. Gary sorry it's taken me a year to know who you are, I seen your interview on Joe then subscribed immediately! This video outlines the problems stopping society from thriving! Two main political parties are the same just split to appear like society have a voice. However, my point is you were constantly undermined at times slightly supported by Labour but collectively dissmissing the facts you provided. The panel demonstrated the real reasons society is exactly where it is and why they want it to get worse because if they wanted better they would see the logic in your evidence and experience gained during your career. Thank you for educating us and thank you for bringing these issues to the media even tho you'll be shot down!
    4
  2543. The first thing that needs to happen is the blind fold needs to come off. Awareness of what is actually happening and only then together can we change this. The problem is this has been going on for a long time, people aren’t comfortable with getting uncomfortable which will be what’s required to stand up.

  2544. gary wiped the floor with everyone on politics live earlier. No one could counter it.

  2545. Comment No1 Hope the holidays is going well

  2546. Hi Gary, This is one of your best..... 💝 you are getting better and better as an orator. 📢🔉🗣💖 I can literally see your speaking evolving and as such your clout strengthening as you spread this message. I wonder if you went to see Bernie Saunders public speak this week? * Obama progressed from.senator to president with persistence * #TheMessage #GarysEconomics

  2547. Perhaps your best video to date

  2548. Australia needs to wake up as well.
    4
  2549. How do you get the politicians to take this on board when they are all a part of this 'wealth' system? I'm in Australia and I'm lucky enough to own my home and my young adult kids will likely just manage to get a mortgage but I don't think my future grand kids will unless it's inherited wealth and by the time the parents die its just too late as you've already done the struggle street of raising kids etc. Prices for housing has sky-rocketed here (increases of $300k in 1 year) and there's a huge investment property market making the rich richer and new home buyers are outbid by wealth.
    4
  2550. Thank you Gary, you're a good man. There are not many of you around, but I think you lit a fire 🔥Take care

  2551. Love this Gary, your words really spoke to me!

  2552. I wish i found this channel years ago. You're content is so refreshing and really engaging. I really hope you give more reactions, especially as we get closer to the election

  2553. This guy is a genius!

  2554. Gary, Your explanation about the ways in which public resources have been appropriated by oligarchs is so clear and so compelling. Heard you last night on Loose Ends. Please stand as an MP. We need you!!!!!!!!
    4
  2555. So happy to find your channel🙏 You are the much needed new David Graeber - but probably with an even more powerful and accessible message💪 Will buy a handful of copies of your book for circulating amongst friends and family!

    4
  2564. By the way love the vids
    4
  2565. Thanks for the video Gary. What I can see happening next is because people will not be able to afford to pay their mortgage they will be forced to try and sell. Because of the difficulty in getting an affordable mortgage there will be no first time buyer except for the wealthy, as you had made crystal clear. The government will be forced to enable people to stay in their homes even if they cannot pay for the mortgage, otherwise there will be families out on the street in even more horrendous numbers. I foresee that this situation could well be an opportunity for this government to make people pay more and longer for their mortgage, of course, again not a problem to the wealthy because they can pay, and sell some property as soon as they can if they decide to. Gary, how do you think the government will handle this home problem ? PS also , leaseholders, have added cladding issues and high maintenance charges they have no control over, they have these extra problems that make it impossible to sell their home/lease.
    4
  2566. Gary you expoain economics in a way i have never understood. Although I know there is inequality between rich and poor the process of how thaf happens is very interesting. My concern as NHS worker who is paid well is that I will never get s mortgage. That is why I will never vote a Tory government. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge its really good to hear without all the bullshit that is out there.
    4
  2567. Seems my comment was deleted even though I gave constructive advice. I want your message to get out there: finding the quickest way to do it is a real issue.
    4
  2568. Found you today. Great work and thanks.
    4
  2569. Just heard you on LBC, very informative and eye opening. I’m 27 and can’t imagine what it would be like to have millions of pounds. Congrats to you, and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us when you don’t have to! 👍 new subscriber
    4
  2570. @Gary. Thank you for standing up and speaking about what most people do not dare or do not want to talk about. You are fantastic and much due to your simple why of explaining economics!!! Majority explain economic to make others feel ignorant and never speak of higher taxes of the top rich!! I wrote 20 years ago of necessity to teach in school about living expenses and taxes etc, but felt alone and ignored. Continue your precious work!!! Please!! ♥️👍
    4
  2571. The reason why more people keep coming after 6 months is because we can see the purity in your intentions. Now, as you head into the political realm, I hope the purity with your intentions are matched with coinciding actions. After reading your book, I feel more connected to who you are as a person and I hope that results in unyielding trust that will not be abused like we see politicians do every… single… day. More power to you Gary and may you build a team that is aligned with building a benevolent society.
    4
  2572. Brilliant. Clear, to the point, obvious once it is explained and most importantly - said with good intentions. Completely agree with the underlying thesis and the proposed solution.

  2573. This is so well put. Gary for PM!!!

  2574. Man totally agree @8.35. Every since GME mooned I've been so stressed about wtf to do with all my GAIN$$$$$

  2575. Thank you for telling everybody about the inequalities i am sure that everybody that watches you understands the issues, what is more unclear is what can you or anybody else do about it.... This is sad but true😢😢

  2579. From Novara media!. Working class needs more exposure to people like you to educate the majority then the decisions they make hopefully will one's that benefit the whole of society economic education is soooo important.

  2580. Just found you via Reddit. You deserve ALL the subscribers. You are the most relevant content creator I have found in a long time.
    4
  2581. Don't think anyone can really rely on older generations for much. They have helped shape and create a toxic environment for the rest. Whilst they can provide financial gifts they will never acknowledge the error of their ways which is much more meaningful. As long as politics is a numbers game, increasingly aging population, and older who continue to believe in the system and status quo. It's hard to shift. They think they can help their child. But will their child be able to help their child if things go they way they are going?
    4
  2582. Congrats Gary. Keep it up.
    4
  2583. I got 8 weeks of my work on 80% wages during covid and I said at the time that’s about 16 grand to myself but that will have to be payed back in the next 10 years at about 2 grand a year now it time for the richest people to pay there share !
    4
  2584. You summed it up in your last 3 words Corruption greed and idiocy. Sadly I think that applies to a large part of the population. Society has been moulded since thatcher to f everyone else as long as I’m alright jack. Hope you find a way to engage people before the revolution.
    4
  2585. Super clear and concise as usual. I just watched The Big Short again the other night and I'd love to say that the system has changed but I doubt it very much. Given that governments and central banks in most developed countries are printing money at very low or even negative interest rates to cushion the effects of covid does it not make more sense for them to build/develop affordable housing solutions rather than the private sector? Secondly assets are hard to tax compared to income and the wealthy have the best professional services at their disposal to minimise their exposure. Therefore would it make sense that a tax on wealth (other than the family home) is payable at source, say a fixed rate for example on all assets owned by individuals and their companies over a million quid and then any adjustments can be made with their annual returns? Cheers Gary
    4
  2586. Really clear, well explained video. Good to have you back Gary
    4
  2587. Sincere gratitude to you Gary. You are helping others, me, to have the conviction and courage to let go of selfishness and be part of the solution. At least to do our human part to reduce suffering and inequality.
    4
  2588. NIce one Gary! keep up the good work
    4
  2589. The only voice of clarity on this topic. Thank you for your content. You explain the concepts of economics in a way I can finally wrap my mind around. Thank you. Thank you.
    4
  2590. What about the adult social care precept that’s already catered for in our council tax?
    4
  2591. Hi Gary, only heard about you yesterday, watched the interview with James O'Brien and bought a signed copy of the book today in Waterstones on the back of it. Your message goes right to the heart of this country's post Brexit malaise. We have a kind of sickness, you can feel it. Good luck getting the message across.
    4
  2592. real ones saw this when it came out…but still had to watch it again. Thanks for everything gary enjoy your break ❤️
    4
  2593. TBH I was going to scroll past this. Who cares about this stuff? But. Your explanation of this serious issue really captivated me. I fear for my children being able to afford their own property. I’m in the enviable position of owning my house. No mortgage. It’s all paid up. House prices in this country far outstrip what a ‘ normal ‘ person should have to pay. Great vid. Thanks.
    4
  2594.  @garyseconomics  lol understandable of course! In all serious though, do you think there would be room for a sort of pro-bono investment fund of some kind for low earners, managed by activist experts like yourself, that would seek to provide returns and market access for those that are otherwise shut out of investing? Does something like this exist that isn’t just a mutualised pension fund or similar?
    4
  2595. And so, as it ever has, capitalism envelops, commodifies and defangs anything close to criticism of it. I'm... disapointed, ngl. Really disapointed. A book and movie that will become products to be consumed and forgotten than messages to be freely and without cohersive forces, understood and spread. Every time. Every. Time. 😮‍💨😒
    4
  2596. I love your channel. Everything you say is sadly 100% correct. The rich are getting super rich and the super rich are getting ultra super rich. Labour won't fundamentally , change, anything just slow down the process of decline. I believe that people won't but their selfishness aside until civil war breaks out or something equally horrible, then they might listen. This is a moral question for our society as serious as artificial intelligence..
    4
  2597. What you are talking about in this video is what I was going to say before I bottled it phoning into LBC. I was going to say what is the point in growing the pie all the majority gets is the crumbs next time I will think of you and go ahead with the conversation. You will be my inspiration Gary
    4
  2598. last part was amazing
    4
  2599. What do you think of the 15% tax levy on these tech firms that have just been agreed? Is it a false flag or will they find other ways of avoiding this? IMO it's a start but more needs to be done to encourage positive competition and reduce the current monopolies that exist.

  2607. Well said Gary 👏

  2608. This is possibly the best and most effective Vid youve made since you opened this channel. well prepared, professionally produced.. well scripted, fluent and direct. Had been afraid for a while, you'd lost your way. with book etc. But 100% well done here. a valuable simple words ideas .. holds attention..politically neutral in factual analysis.sense A bit long? maybe. But youve done great job compressing lot of complexity even into 20 mins. Great Job Mate.
    4
  2609. I'm glad you're back and haven't been knocked off for telling the truth lol. I heard a labour politician talking about bringing in a wealth tax on assets and thought/hoped you were working with them. Hopefully she'd been watching your channel. Good luck with the book , I hope it can make a difference.

  2619. Gary, i’m a bit stunned. Your level of insight and understanding is unique. I already understand your point, but you’ve given me a deeper knowledge and perspective. Thank you Gary 🙏

  2620. If the birth rate and immigration drops, like we have seen in Japan and Korea, over the next 30 years how would that change possible out comes for house prices?

  2621. Your advice to watch this 1st video was priceless. That last statement was so clear. We do have a way out of this. Its so clear the super rich are interrupting the flow!!Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

  2625. ❤ Gratitude to you for all your education, service and advice to others. Hope the cycle ride is amazing xx

  2626. You are a very compelling story teller, your book is great. It’s time you made into a Netflix series 😉. Keep up the good work, you are on the right track.
    4
  2627. So glad you are getting a platform.

  2628.  @garyseconomics  I really appreciate the intuitive way you inform ordinary citizens, thank you
    4
  2629. Very Profond, heartfelt message the world needs more people like you gary 🙌

  2630. Been watching your videos since the beginning and only now am really starting to finally feel proud about my position in life. I’m a working man (numerous retail and now self employed gardener for twenty years) have been working since I was 18, a dad of two great kids and a husband to an unfortunate wife 😉, thank you so much for your continued words of truth and realistic outlook 👏👏👏👏👏✌️ I have no savings, no private pension but it’s ok and am looking forward to working with fellow hard workers to be part of a happy healthy equally proud future for our children , keep your message loud and strong as we are all behind you

  2631. Superb advise Gary
    4
  2632. It would miss out on a large amount of people in need to offer assistance only to those on means tested benefits. What about fulltime students they are not entitled to means tested benefits. Then there's those that have over 6k saved up to for emergencies, a car, studies etc. They are not rich but are over the threshold amount of 6k. Difficult to target.
    4
  2633. What are your views on paying everyone 18+ a monthly UBI/UBD? ...but onto a special debit card (for specific purchases/payments only) and any unspent being taken back on the 28th monthly?
    4
  2634. The absolute irony of our politicians is the fact that they are all super wealthy but the government that they represent is effectively bankrupt. How can you have a prime minister who has an individual net worth of almost £800,000,000 representing a country that is financially bankrupt. This is the insane paradox that we currently live in. It cannot continue.
    4
  2635. Wow. Just wow. My mind is open, clear and blown. I’ve never been able to explain this inequality so clearly and now I can!! Thank you x
    4
  2636. Excellent video. I was immediately put off trading by the idea (for example) that you can actually sell Gold, but not actually have Gold. Nuts. Got £100 in a trading account and just play with it for fun, will never trade anything more.
    4
  2637. Your videos are always so informative
    4
  2638. Just finished reading your book - literally. It is a very powerful and compelling personal story. Your passion for fighting against inequality in society is something that shines through the whole thing. I was genuinely quite shocked to read how badly the relations with your old employer went bad at the end. I suppose, if I'm going to be 100% honest, I did feel some little degree of sympathy with your boss, this Caleb dude. After all, he did give you a 1-in-a-million chance to get very rich very quickly... I dunno...I guess there were other issues...like mental health and what not. I hope you are in a better place now.
    4
  2639. It's a shame they closed the swimming pool and the snooker club next door as well! Well they built a school so maybe not a shame??
    4
  2640. Great work Gary. Keep going with the channel.Its good that the message is starting to break through.Enjoy your well earned holiday !
    4
  2641. This is probably the best explanation about economy during Covid that I’ve seen. Thanks a lot.
    4
  2642. Welcome back Gary hope your book goes well 😊 I've started to wake up to the system that makes inequality and only benefits the super rich and politicians are curupt the system needs to be brought down ! Democracy does not exist in this country the people should be calling the shots not the other way around as very rich doners put their slants and messages forward on the main media who are not independent
    4
  2643. I can't believe Gary hasn't got more subscribers. I believe a good place to start reducing inequality is to stop millionaires and billionaires from being MPs. They create legislation that suit big business and their inner circle. Keep up the great work, Gary
    4
  2644. Such a clear, concise and insightful video, G. You should do a Ted talk :)
    4
  2645. Thank you for your videos Gary. They are very informative and are helping to build my understanding. Your video arguing for the need to tackle inequality through wealth taxes really shifted my thinking from what it was a few years ago.
    4
  2646. wow, articulate and economic literate, such a rare and powerful combination.
    4
  2647. Hey Gary, Love your content. Keep it up. there is nothing wrong with you making money on the back of our government neglect, I would still be making them bets today mate ❤
    4
  2648. Thanks for another informative video Gary. Love the hoody by the way.
    4
  2649. Common sense !!!
    4
  2650. This is really great news going forward Gary; needing that in 2025! I would subscribe to a channel on Patreon because learning about Economics is important & if there can be any political impact, so much the better. Good Luck with the paperback & the publicity; I enjoyed reading it h/b.

  2652. AUSTRALIAN HERE and you could easily swap all the British place names Gary mentions for Australian place names and NOBODY would realise the story is about Britain. Just like Britain we are dominated by economists who went to places like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, etc. We have a huge problem in Australia with calling out the nonsense of these people. There is some sort of "You must not question" mentality when it comes to people who went overseas and went to one of these "elite" universities and did economics (either as a degree or MBA). They are like some sort of sacred priesthood that speaks nothing but absolute truth when the reality is they are WRONG, WRONG and WRONG on most things.
    4
  2653. Excellent explanation, something everyone should watch, keep up your great work 👍

  2654. He mentioned in another recent vid he’s away so can’t do one atm

  2655. A bunch of people winging it, along side a bunch of other people who are winging it, patting each other on the backs for a successfully getting away with winging it for so long. When their results are theory based, don't provide real quantifiable outcomes they're not useful. Just like the idea of the invisible hand, we all really know why it is invisible.
    4
  2656. flogging a book, because of course...🙄
    4
  2657. Gary for PM!
    4
  2658. Outstanding lecture, and it struck so many chords with me. The problem is that those that should hear this lecture, either don't care, just accept the status quo or have no conception of the world around them and their place it. They accept the answers given Think tanks and politicos without question, thinking that because they hold a master's or Doctorate they know what they are doing, when they patently do not just look at Tufton Street and Liz Truss as an example.
    4
  2659. Such a good video! First person who’s so successful that’s fully opened up and been honest. Realist 👍🏽👍🏽
    4
  2660. Hey Gary, I've only just found your channel and I wanted to say thank you for your work. This has been the best, no-bs, clear and accurate description of economics I've ever found. Please keep it up!!
    4
  2661. watching from america. I have always been aware of the wealth inequality, but with the detailed explanations, this video really changed my perspective on taxing the rich and the upcoming US election
    4
  2662. Not to defend the Guardian, but they did publish an article about how excellent your channel is. It's how I discovered you (and they weren't wrong about your excellence).
    4
  2663. What do you see happening with the property market next? My senses tell me it has to crash now right? Surely….
    4
  2664. Thank you so much. Thank you for reminding us that we live in a system, abstract system, that is our invention and so can be changed.
    4
  2665. Just to let you know Gary - working class people, when you talk, they feel you are on their side and you represent them. They will follow you against the mafia of billionaires.
    4
  2666. For funding, what about merch? Eco-friendly ethical T-shirt bag etc... cooperative perhaps ❤ Love the show
    4
  2667. One minute in and I'm hooked, this is a question I've been asking myself for years now.
    4
  2668. 70k views and 261k subscribers wont cut it guys. If you like what Gary is doing then subscribe, like and add your comments to the discussion. Share on other platforms and spread the word.

  2669.  @garyseconomics  Thanks Gary-I’ll follow you on Twitter and keep a look out. I’ll def share in my networks. Thank you and keep up the great work!

  2670. You made me cry, Gary. Thank you.

  2671. Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is still watching this very informative content cheers Frank ❤

  2672. Pre-ordered mate ;) Will have to buy you a been next time I'm in town. Best of luck to you bro.

  2673. "They are so beyond clueless that they even don't know they are clueless" - this is the motte of the neototaliarianisme. Gary Stevenson said that.

  2674. Love the quality of these videos man! As a masters student in economics who has had multiple post-lecture discussions with professors I can attest that these guys live in their own little bubble. This one always gives me shivers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaXNqGgIc-g&ab_channel=TheDollarCrisis (not Oxford, but close enough)
    4
  2675. So glad I stumbled upon Gary’s channel. I am hooked, can’t wait for more content. Thank you GARY from USA
    4
  2676. Absolutely bang on gary 100% totally agree
    4
  2677. I find myself sharing your channel more and more. Education wins hearts and minds.
    4
  2678. The public need to support Gary. We don’t want his freedoms including his freedom of speech to be curtailed. There are too many with self interests at stake in authority.
    4
  2679. It's £8.99 and I have it on order. This guy never runs out of insprational things to say.
    4
  2680. Hi Gary, just finished your book - incredible story and journey. Your predictions are spot on - so what's the trade for the next year or two as the Central Bank lowers interest rates?
    4
  2681. Keep up the good work Gary. Enjoy your holiday
    4
  2682. Although I’m a late discoverer of your channel I think I’ve boarded this express train at a pivotal point. With you all the way man! I have a great positive feeling about your journey. Im from Ilford too!! 🎉🎉🤟🏼
    4
  2683. Loved seeing you on Piers Morgan (can't stand that guy). Don't let them distract you in these debates if you're going to do more of them (minutes on your own wealth was silly and they ran down the clock doing it). Consider media training. You did great and Rubin looked like a 'know nothing' who was there simply to sell the tired Trump/Right Wing agenda of 'tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, trickle down economics'. Push back at that harder and more specifically. Your message of clawing back resources from the rich is the perfect way to do it. Good work, but do better in those forums. I love your swearing, but in those forums, stop, people won't take you seriously!
    4
  2684. This guy may or may not know it yet, but him amongst a few others will change the world. Mustard seeds 👊

  2685. Garry

  2686. Gary, you are so wonderful to share your knowledge with the world. I love the clarity that you give in your analysis.

  2687. Elon Musk had invested in Bitcoin many months ago. Maybe he recently cashed out. Or even if he's still invested he will still be in profit as it is still well over what he paid.
    4
  2688. Got your book of my good wife for Christmas, can’t wait to get into it. Well done on 2024 and all the best for 2025. 👍
    4
  2689. Wolves knocking at the door Gary I know you read these, hahaha
    4
  2690.  @garyseconomics  yep, and blankets over him in the winter
    4
  2691. Bitcoin is backed by the energy that goes into it. That energy is generally moving towards renewables, which can be far more financially viable when mining bitcoin. E.g. if I have solar panels heating my home in the winter, they can be used for mining bitcoin in the summer. Therefore none of the energy goes to waste and my solar panels will effectively become a far better investment. In contrast what are central banks backed by? "Men with guns"?
    4
  2692. Go Gary, enjoyed your book from New Zealand
    4
  2693. 9:28 my man went to say "not a function of..." then rephrased it so that people didn't switch off or get lost Committed to communicating truth to as many ordinary people as possible. No need to flash his intelligence. Fucking King
    4
  2694. I’ve come around to this way of thinking ever I read Rich dad poor dad . And Jeff Booth book price of tomorrow.. I think what you are doing is very admirable
    4
  2695. I think everything will be ok because vinyls were added to CPI.

  2696. Brilliant!

  2697. Gary 4 chancellor

  2698. I bet the books arrives on the odd day that I’m not working from home 😊
    4
  2699. The reason I come here is simply what you say makes a lot of sense
    4
  2700. Gary, lovely intervention there. Please keep it up. Hope they will invite you again... 🤨
    4
  2701. Just finished reading the book. Great read. Well done Gary. No housework done as I’ve been buried in the pages. Hopefully many will see the light after reading your book and we will stand together for the benefit of all instead of a few.
    4
  2702. I've been so inspired by you this year and please don't stop because the effects will ripple through society. I'm a maths teacher and I didn't know the first thing about personal finance or economy before you did that first Novara media interview. Now I've signed up for financial teacher training with the intent of permanently adding it to our curriculum for 11-18 year olds. Together we will make a difference.
    4
  2703. Yaaaaaaaaay! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
    4
  2704. As always, a clear explanation of a seemingly simple concept that is actually quite a sophisticated concept that most people don’t really understand because it seems very simple on the surface. Gary is explaining that the ship is heading towards an iceberg, we can all see the tip of the iceberg from the surface, but the bulk of the iceberg is unseen. Turn the ship, tax the rich, then we all can thrive.
    4
  2705. Thanks Gary for having the balls to say what needs to be said. I fear the laziness of Australians to speak up about inequality will lead to the majority being poor.
    4
  2706. GAZZAAAA! Smashed it!
    4
  2707. Great vid
    4
  2708. Came too the channel from politicsJoe.. man's got knowledge and heart.. go well Gary
    4
  2709. Bang on Gary mate
    4
  2710. Very happy to have found your channel. You speak with so much passion like you can't understand why people can't see what you see.
    4
  2711. Love what you're doing, and you were great on Russell Brand! For now, maybe it would be great to do more with him? We need a new party, with you as Chancellor.
    4
  2712. Glad to see you continue to grow. I knew from day one your channel would be a hit.
    4
  2713. anyone have good recommendations for bitcoin investment advice? new to investings but I LOVE THE COIN
    4
  2714. The idea that ‘we’ pay our politicians, health service, police, schools, etc. has really put this into perspective - crazily never thought of it like that. We are competing as a nation against the super rich just shows the extent of the inequality. Thanks Gary!
    4
  2715. Gary mate,the stuff you talk about should be taught in schools Geeza.Sth London expat of the 70's and 80' vintage following from Edmonton Canada.Keep up the good work mate.Oh and by the way this Vid us making me feel fxxing home sick :0)

  2716. First

  2717. This guy may or may not be legitimate in his concerns about the middle class.. but this content is REALLY GOOD. He's someone I wish I knew and could talk to in real life
    4
  2718. Grand stuff thanks Gary. Approve of the short format, attention span deflation 😢 means I would rather watch 3 x 5 min vids than 1 x 15min. Despite knowing that I have been socially engineered to this..
    4
  2719. Welcome to the “We love Gary” club. Share with your friends.
    4
  2720. Have good break, come back refreshed and stay with it Gary
    4
  2721. Great video. I understand the need to preserve what little savings my family have due to money printing/QE. Thing is, I am.scared of losing money in stock and shares and don't know where to start. Is index funds in an isa wrapper the best bet for ordinary people?
    4
  2722. You're cutting through Gary! Within a week I've heard Caroline Lucas and Hugh Fernley Wittingstall pushing for a wealth tax on national TV .👍✊️
    4
  2723. Loved when he dragged the conversation back to the IEA and its reluctance to deal with the actual issues. Well done gary, you dont have to do any of this so thanks for giving us a voice, being without the city trader label they'd dismiss us jus for having an accent despite calling for the same for years.
    4
  2724. I’m not really here to get rich but found you after I saw your interview. I’m interested in your desire to get the average person understand why rich people get richer and why middle class and saving (if anything is left after paying bills) will end up poorer.
    4
  2725. @GarysEconomics I've just finished watching every video and I'd like to say thanks! Even though it's not a pleasant thought, the sheer scale of the problem may be the thing that ultimately forces a change. Keep going Gary!!
    4
  2726. Your the voice of the working class mate, i see that you put it across in a way most of us understand easily. Respect to you mate.
    4
  2727. Gary for PM!
    4
  2728. Thank you. That was very powerful, and I hope your message spreads like wildfire, brother❣️ top notch
    4
  2729. LEGEND! You are the man, the heart of the people… no, of HUMANITY
    4
  2730. You're doing great stuff Gary. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves these personal updates to the channel as well as the informative videos. We're all so proud! I listened to the audiobook, and then went back to the beginning and immediately listened to it again - never done that before. And now obsessed with the message of inequality. Incredible writing - amazing audiobook reading
    4
  2731. Thank you for making all this information public and available to all. It's so very necessary.
    4
  2732. Thank you for great and easily understandable arguments; I feel like we have a slightly different situation in Prague although the main point of that generational shift in being able to "make it" absolutely works here as well, even more so maybe because of the massive privatisation after Velvet Revolution.
    4
  2733. Another great video Gary. Really appreciate what you're doing and what you stand for 👍👊
    4
  2734.  @garyseconomics  I’m catching up on the backlog. Love the videos.
    4
  2735. Okay fine. I'll be THAT guy. When you said you're no model... Check yourself dude. You're well fit
    4
  2736. really loving the content ! Wish it was longer !!!! 😂
    4
  2737. A couple of points. Inequality is unfortunately endemic. Leonard Cohen captured this in ‘Everybody Knows’ which has been described as the perfect song for every point in history - The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Secondly, how do you classify that part of the money printed during the pandemic which was disbursed as furlough payments? Surely this considerable chunk of money went to working people and was intended to preserved their jobs? I’m interested in how you view this. Thanks.
    4
  2738. Does it follow that if interest rates will almost never climb to pre-2008 levels that the pullback in growth stocks in the US market is temporary? Once the US Fed reverses course (whether from political or economic pressures), it'll pump the stock market again.
    4
  2739. It was really helpful video. i am forex day trader and always make a win day to lose day by over trading. now i know that i was gambling. Today morning i was thinking what should I do to Stop this circle then i came to see your video in YouTube accidentally. although English is not my mother language and i may understood about 70% of what you said but it was so informative and helpful.🙏

  2740. pow

  2741. Merry Xmas, I hope you are here to stay.

  2745. Yeah I’d contribute, we need a louder narrative…

  2746. Hi I came across you in an interview today on an Irish radio station Went straight out and got your book I have had similar thoughts for years But your interview today rounded all my thoughts of completely Your a great communicator
    3
  2747. I just left a comment on LBC’s channel saying they need to get you on there!!! Then I just seen this in my suggestions 🤦🏾‍♀️ . Still they should have you on as a regular imo 😌
    3
  2748. Very nice, thanks for sharing Gary

  2749. Thanks, i have been using your videos to help covince my family that their veiw of money and society needs to change. Having someone who seems relatively genuine making better points than im making is great. Cheers

  2754. Taxxxxxx the riiiiiich

  2755. An education as always go Gary
    3
  2756. Posting a link to Gary’s videos into the comments you make on mainstream media and news items helps get the message out to people who might not otherwise hear it. Government ministers and economic pundits are always expounding austerity, cuts and tax increases for the poor without a counter narrative.

  2758. Thank you so much for your videos. I like the information and the way that you delivered it. Keep be a giving person. :)

  2759. Gary, it's like talking quantum physics in a room full of chickens
    3
  2760. Gary is a national treasure, make no mistake. I'll express that same sentiment in a different way: Gary Stevenson Future of the UK - 100%; Rishi Sunak Future of the UK - 0%. It's that crass. Whether Starmer understands any of this, I have no idea.
    3
  2761. You're still Wearing your old shoes In this video Gary!
    3
  2762. I have learnt so much from you in the last few years Gary - thank you so much!
    3
  2763. You make sense i'm proud of you

  2764. Make it work the way the rich do - you need PR company to keep you and the chanel in the news 👍

  2765. Jut caught this Gary. Thank you. Keep on keepin' on my friend 🧡

  2766. I read your book and it was brilliant! Tax the Rich. 👊

  2767. 3.10 you can see gary's yacht in the background

  2768. This is depressing

  2769. What you say is so true...Agree with everything you say....
    3
  2770. These two women have no idea what they are talking about-I'm amazed they were invited to speak.
    3
  2771. Just finished reading chapters 9 through 20, that's a first for me! Starting at the very beginning is my usual method but, having listened to a number of Gary's interviews I couldn't wait to discover the how, where and when that led to 'Gary's Economics'.
    3
  2772. Just found you Gary - I have a lot of watching to catch up on. Will order the book too. Thank you - I’m a mum and so very worried about the world my kids have ahead of them. Please keep going.
    3
  2773. I found your insights on an article on the net and I thought "this guy is spot on in describing the issues." However, there isn't enough political will to upend the current system now. Do you have any thoughts on this? Edit: I subbed too btw. Some small feedback I can give is I like your content but the visual is a little random and jarring to follow. Just FYI, not a criticism on your brilliant insights.
    3
  2774. Hi Gary, just pre ordered your book after seeing your appearance on Damien Talks Money’s podcast. Looking forward to reading it.
    3
  2775. I got me a copy of your book as soon as it came out, but I've got such a huge backlog of books I've only just read it. Excellent. I see a future for you in writing. Both informative and then informative about your life, but you have also woven the whole into a damn good yarn. All the best.
    3
  2776. Keep going Gary , 100% your assessment and prognosis - maybe we need a more relatable political party…. Gazza for chancellor :)

  2777. The scotch eggs are a nice touch

  2778. Hey Gary, I just wanted to say thanks for opening my eyes to this fucked up economic system we live under. Keep up the good work!

  2779. Gary is the reason my axis is so High. I love this cat.

  2780. Thanks Gary. Do you think the unions can help to right this imbalance?

  2781. Yes let's keep talking about it til we understand and overcome it. Thank you Gary for getting the conversation going 🙏 ❤

  2787. 🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏 Britain needs you 🫵
    3
  2788. you are 100% correct and white working class boys especially. I have seen this first hand working in schools in areas where bright children are stuck in failing schools. Grammar schools at least give them a chance. Even so not everyone is capable and the way things are set up now if you don't go to university there are not many other options.
    3
  2789. Gary and Co. you guys have such a great message, stay strong! I work in architecture and see these issues of inequality sprillaling through that lense and the search for solutions etc from that side of things, and I think you are really onto something with the angle you come from about educating people to create the potential for a better world. Have you listened to any of Vicky Spratts work on the housing crisis, you two could probably have a fantastic discussion about solutions etc. Good on you man 👍✌

  2793. Great video

  2794. Hey Gary - hope you are well man. How do you think these day traders from reddit (GME stock) are shaking up the system? Is this short term? Does this play into anything to help with inequality?
    3
  2795. ❤Well done Gary you made this video over 3 years ago and it’s just as factual today as it was then. Unfortunately this Government would rather punish the poor and the sick demanding they return to work to get paid a pittance that doesn’t cover the bills like Rent Fuel Food Gas & Electricity. That’s if those people can get a full time job ? Governments have stripped us of all our industries and other assets in favour of Privatisation only the already rich benefit from this and many are in the House of Lords and in Parliament raking in massive shares while our country crumbles and the poor go hungry cold and homeless. They don’t have any desire to upset the mega rich because they are selfish to their core. They have no clue what it feels like to be hungry cold poor and homeless. It’s a case of I’m alright Fek you.

  2803. I'm glad I came across a post on FB recommending you... watching this.. it really resonates... struggled all of my life as an artist and a single mother... I just keep on keeping on though.. helping where I can in my job as a carer.. and painting to express my feelings and get them out... it's tough...at nearly 60 going to now be homeless in a housing crisis.. sometimes I think.. God just give me a break!... I loved your talk.. honest and deep thinking.. I love your perspective, seeing it through a tough background.. but being on the side of the 'rich' and the inequality.. I'm glad now that I have something to listen too instead of Coronation Street.. where I might just feel some kind of hope and a sense of camaraderie.. I'm not alone.. thank you..

  2823. I'm an UBI supporter and I knew about this channel by a UBI support Italian page. Watching all videos from the beginning, and this is the first one in which he talks about UBI. As always, it's amazing how original he is to mention some subjects. It's not even a support for UBI! It's just the idea of using UBI as an analytical tool, comparing to other policies! And yes, this video shows one of many advantages of UBI. If the government intervenes to lower the price of anything, it's basically saying "now you can use your money on that", while UBI says "you choose where to spend your money - energy, clothes, food etc, whatever you think is better for you ".

  2831. The rich will also outcompete you on labour and materials to maintain your house. Housing doesn't last forever. Contractors will do that third bathroom reno for some rich person if they pay better.

  2832. Completely agree with your mission Gary. For me personally the issue is that only the greens have adopted this position too, I can’t take any of there other policies seriously. Hopefully someone on the right starts listening to you

  2836. This is all music to my ears! Love your attitude, honesty and dedication to educate. I’ve learned more about the economy through your videos than I ever have in my entire life 🥲 I really hope your message will reach loads more people sooner rather than later bc we need to change the taxing system before we’re all completely broke. Keep doing what you’re doing! Much love 💖

  2840. Love the educational vids on the channel Gary, would love to see more of these and in a bit more technical depth over this year.
    3
  2841. The rich could just be taxed more and the revenue reallocated to the poor, I think that would solve all the issues you mention in this video.
    3
  2842. Thanks coming back, thanks for taking the break. We need your thoughtful voice not constant content

  2843. I feel like I’m at a kitchen after party at uni with some crusty ranting telling me trues

  2844. Thanks gary. Love to hear you on every programme and your channel. I would love to see you as chacellor for a decade. I reckon there would be a much better balance of living standards and quality of life at all stages in life. I read that a doctors leg was broken in a broken lift incident in a hospital and a roof collapsing on an intensive care patient on life support in a different hospital. It's one thing to not be able to get the hospital treatment you need,and taking the risk of dying in hospital due to dangerous buildings. It's horrific to see that a doctors leg was broken while he was working in a hospital due to unsafe equipment in an unsafe building

  2845. Hola. Te felicito, te celebro. Ojalá la cultura sirva para comprender qué se esconde debajo de los engaños y poder devolvernos el poder real a todas las personas. Ojalá te traduzcan al español para que todos los latinos puedan entenderte y dejar de robarse entre ellos queriendo emular la vida de lujo de quienes los someten. Un enorme abrazo. Gracias!!!

  2846. So what's Austerity about then? Why do conservatives bang on about Labour borrowing money and damaging the economy if what Steve is saying is true? Anyone?sounds like another manipulation to me!!

  2847. I came across one of your videos the other day hadn't really looked at economics or finance but since sitting and watching you we need you in government I'd vote for you in a heart beat

  2848. saw jimmy mention you in a video and decided to check you out - thank you for helping to educate & deprogram him!

  2850. Annabel Denham know's exactly what she's doing. You have a solid narrative backed up by undeniable facts. We have a grotesque tax system.
    3
  2851. there is one thing that politicians will never say, if everybody was rich inflation would go crazy, a lot of people need to be a little bit poor to keep inflation under control, sad to say😒 got your book Gary great read
    3
  2852. So in short we have not particularly economically literate people in charge of the central bank, who are pretty incompetent at their job, stuck in their ways and too out of touch with reality to gauge the economy for the average person.
    3
  2853. I heard the passion in your voice, which is what made me follow you. Keep going, we need people like you
    3
  2854. Swear to you I watched all of them and absolute fire🔥
    3
  2855. Brilliant video mate. Straightforward, simple and honest. You are like one of my old A level economics teacher, but willing to go further. What you are saying isn't secret knowledge, it shows how effective right-wing media brainwashing has been misdirecting anger from the ultra wealthy to single mothers and refugees etc. Essentially anyone that even pays income tax and NI is being screwed and should never even consider voting for the Tories, yet they win landslide victories.

  2864. Big Up Gary thanks for what you're doing, behind you all the way. Love the clarity and simplicity of the message, think that's crucial. I think for your well-being and the well-being of your movement, link up with others who are making revolutionary moves, and join up the dots on economic collapse and the collapse of the natural world! You surely know about it but it needs saying - we can't be healthy or wealthy on a dying planet, even if we tax the rich, what will we inherit, ashes, dust, rising seas. I think the government also knows about economic inequality, you say they don't see it, but I think they do, they are just bought up puppets, they belong to the rich. What about this - We the people, the land, the animals, the air, the water, must unite and turn away from their power games, and step into our own power, the power of the earth : we need to take the land back! Water and food is power and will be more and more in the years to come. We tell them, tax the rich, and give the land back, or you will have revolution on your hands. We increasingly have nothing to lose.

    3
  2872. mate, I absolutely love your videos. I think you can very quickly put to bed this 'politics of envy' argument personally by saying that you are one of the rich, and these changes will impact you negatively. however, despite this, you are campaigning for us as the bottom and middle.

  2876. Too many people think raising tax is bad even when they won't be the ones affected. There's far too many that think rich people will flee the country when their taxes go up but they don't realise even if we raise these taxes we'd still be one of the lowest taxing countries but they also don't seem to realise that all the rich's money is tied up in assets that you can not simply just move to another country
    3
  2877. After following the channel for about a year now, I will definitely be getting the book. I have always had an interest in finance, investing and trading but only ever looked at it as a way of making money to enhance MY life. I definitely brought into Capitalism and the “Greed is good” notion. However, Gary has 100% made me question the impact this is having on wider society and I can already see that my nephews and nieces will have a harder time than me. If the message can get across to me, there is still hope for the future. Keep up the good work Gary and team. Hopefully see you in Birmingham

  2880. Gary, you're really one of the few voices of reason talking about global economics/finances/purchasing power etc etc etc all that important stuff that makes everything so damn expensive these past decades/post covid especially its so frustrating how few people are talking about these key parts of our latestage capitalism system - wealth inequality is the truest cancer, imo climate change + most other global problems could be solved/avoided sooooooo damn quickly if only we taxed the wealthy like we sort of were back in the 50s and 60s based on what dutch historian rutger bregman talks about, eat the rich or just tax them properly
    3
  2881. Brilliant explanation but how do we force a change? I'm all up for people making money but i agree that there needs to be some sort of wealth tax. How do we make it happen?
    3
  2882. The story is really good, i mean it really struck home. You are in the wrong profession, your story telling is really good mate. I'm buying your book if it;s anything like this it will be a joy.

  2900. I agree with you . I am pretty much always a Tory voter but I can see that what you say is right . Tax the excessively rich more and reduce the taxation of the poor and middle classes . The gap is widening parabolically. If we don't act sooner rather than later none of us will own anything .
    3
  2901. yes Gary, your doing a fantastic job, open up the channel the message is spreading
    3
  2902. You are so right, ignorance is not bliss and enables politicians to mislead us whilst continuing to make decisions that only benefit the wealthy . While listening to the budget, I kept hearing your voice , so when we were offered crumbs, I kept hearing your voice explaining to us how they try to placate us with small amounts of money, while giving to themselves. As usual, they taxed working people on wages, not the wealthy with their unearned income. I loved Hunt saying there was money for keeping some public swimming pools open,guess that was to stop us pointing out that Rishi had National Grid increase the electricity to his home to cope with his swimming pool. All while telling us to heat our homes less to help National Grid.
    3
  2903. Thank you so much, Gary. Still banging the drum 🥁 for the masses / hoi polloi / ordinary people . 😉 you really are passionate about inequality.
    3
  2904. The slum housing you so accurately describe is very visible in Croydon (London outskirts) whereupon ex-office block after ex-office block are filled with the urban poor. To make matters worse, there are a raft of new, expensive apartment buildings for those who 'have' as opposed to the have nots - it is slowly beginning to resemble Mega City 1 from Judge Dredd.
    3
  2905. Love you bro🧡

  2906. It is great to see your message getting louder! I did my little bit and ordered your new book. Arrived today and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to it. Keep fighting the good fight, you are gaining traction!

  2907. this is a profound talk. i love it. so much like my early times...maybe that's why. What did i do?
    3
  2908. Thx Gary... from NZ , although lived in Uk for over 20yrs,will be sharing your video with BHN (big hairy news) who r very small but on the same page
    3
  2909. Your videos help an average intelligence shmuck like me understand the economy, more specifically the problems with today's economy. I feel a brief elation because understanding the problem could mean that a solution is right around the corner. Then a depressing thought sets in. The ultra wealthy have become more powerful than the government, and will never relinquish..
    3
  2910. I've bought a ticket to a talk (after this week) AND a copy of the book - hopefully it counts. It all helps in any case. Good luck!

  2911. Amazing video. Gary is a legend

  2912. Thanks from Spain
    3
  2913. Thanks for trying Gary but there is virtually no chance of succeeding in your efforts to affect the UK economy. It's because of vested interests and the fact that the government isn't in charge of anything. The privately owned central banks run the world with a top down layered system that includes control of the money supply and distribution, Legislature, Military, Media, Education, Civil service etc. There is no democracy, the UK government even needs the permission of unelected, self serving Lords to do things it is elected to do, and then the permission of a certain family. Unless that is, we can persuade enough people of the real source of their inequity and to collectively defy them.

  2914. 🏆 EXCELLENT! 🍻 Gary, you're a 🌟

  2916. young men out there listen up. get a trade . rich folk always need and want nice houses and property. invest 10 years into becoming a skilled tradesman. by 30 you can spank a rich person on installing a kitchen or a bathroom and they will thank you for it.

  2917. I ain't rich, but I'll sub a £5 A month to try to boost this message.

  2918. Thank you so much Gary and whoever helps makes the videos. This is extremely empowering information. I’m grateful to have a realistic impression of the hell that’s coming so as to protect myself and my family more. It’s better to know than to be swallowed whole by the monster of what I don’t.
    3
  2919. This is a rallying cry, cut through the BS, do not allow the powerful and wealthy to set the working class against itself.

  2920. Alright Gazza not really relevant to the video, but I just wanted to drop you a like purely for the goodfellas quote in the book. Made me full on crease when I heard it on the audiobook on the drive home. About half way through currently and absolutely loving it so far !!
    3
  2921. Kudos to you! Definitely get support. Take excellent care of yourself.
    3
  2922. As well as being a very cool, intelligent and 'together' guy, Gary is such a nice, caring person. As soon as his book comes out I'm going to buy it!
    3
  2923. So happy to have you fighting the good fight, Gary. I was always critical of gross inequality but you've given me more clear language to articulate why so thank you for that. It's still incredibly hard to get people to grasp this issue as problematic and solvable though! I guess you don't want to tie yourself to specific policy proposals which is maybe why you haven't proposed specific approaches - breaking down the type of revenues they could bring into the public purse, and addressed the potential issues. Maybe you did in your book, sorry I didn't read it yet. I can imagine few people better placed to have a stab at an actually workable plan than you though. It would be great to have some solid potential approaches to give to people when they ask for an actual plan - especially one that addresses wealth fleeing as is often the criticism. Maybe a series of options rather than Gary's big plan that people will deliberately misinterpret and dismiss? Anyway thanks for doing what you do and if you ever want to come give a talk in Bristol, we have a venue for you!
    3
  2924. Thanks Gary, really appreciate your work and I enjoyed the book

  2925. I think one of the big problems is that certain media and politicians have created the illusion of this dichotomy between capitalism and pure socialism to make it seem like the only alternative to the current status quo would be the state bringing all the assets under public ownership at much expense and inefficiency. We could just change the tax structure so that tax is paid from profit generated by assets rather than income from labour. Since it is clearly inevitable that the money gets sucked back upwards then by regularly taking money from the top and pumping it back into the bottom of society we would have a far more healthy and productive economy than this stagnant one where many people can barely afford the essentials and a small percentage have more money than they could ever spend. Like a perpetual motion machine but with money. A little bit of wealth inequality to encourage innovation and competition and hard work is a good idea. But the levels of inequality currently are completely unjustifiable and actively damaging the economy.
    3
  2926. What a wise and rational talk.
    3
  2927. Welcome back Gary! Glad to hear you have had a productive 6 months away from the channel. I look forward to 2024 and what you will do. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. May you have a good reek in your lum. ❤

  2928. Gary, you make so much sense and you make these issues so understandable. Thank you for your hard work.

  2929. Wow, that was beautiful, Gary. Thank you. We shouldn't wait for politicians or big business to solve things, because they're too cosy. It's up to us to connect and to each do our bit.

  2933. It is also devastating for young people to make them hate their parents for something outside of their control :(. I know you're saying it as a joke but inevitably the resentment will pile up with questions in their minds like "why didn't my mother/father worked harder to get more money in their lifetime when it was possible? What were they doing?"

  2938. Thanks for this, Gary. This is your best vid yet. Your mention of the 2 Minutes Hate was brilliant, and how easy it is to shift society's focus of hatred. Also, I think you're right about the direction that our society's going in, but I don't share your optimism on how we can stop it. You just have to listen to the average guy in the street to realise he's been hooked by the mainstream media. I've heard it and it's very depressing. But thanks for your incisive insights. You and others like you rip away the veil of disinformation, the lies of omission that the mainstream media puts out there. They are a fear machine to keep us divided and subdued. I do hope we can build the alliance we need, but I'm not optimistic. Thanks very much and keep going 👍

  2942. Keep going bro! cant get enough of this, share far and wide people, shout it from the streets!

  2945. Thank you, Gray, for explaining what happens when money is given out, where it goes, and why it doesn't get talked about. Very few people will question anything never mind a government that’s been in power over the past 12yrs. We have seen further erosion of our standard of living which means to me, that the government hasn’t done its best in looking after its citizens.

  2953. Really pleased you're doing so well ! I live on the Isle of wight ...I moved to get away from mainland UK and all the madness ..I live a better, simpler life and I know I'm lucky ...I have a roof over my head , food on the table and at the moment I can afford my household bills . However - there are so many who are suffering and it really really worries me . This government has destroyed this country , we now have Victorian diseases becoming prevalent like scurvy and rickets...we have tremendous deprivation and some of the most vulnerable folk being made to suffer more and more . I am so glad that you are here to speak the truth about the economy and the reasons behind it ....I know you are working really hard and please know how much you are appreciated by those of us who care ❤

  2954. JimmyTheGiant, here on YouTube said it perfectly. The political Left need to stop framing the social justice issues that affect a minority as the driving force for their politics, all it does is alienate the general population, it's not relatable. We, the left, need to unite under the threat increasing wealth inequality, and present our views, framed in a way that seek to solve this problem. That's how we get the working class on board.

  2955. Thanks Gary for putting this in a way that I and others can understand. Just bought your book, will start it tonight. Please keep plugging the message.

  2956. I try to find this video quite hard thank youtube.

  2957. I know that I probably won't be filthy rich. But I hope I can manage to be comfortably wealthy. I already moved away from debt and tried to invest as much I can. I believe that it is posible to achieve that by investing your money in a smart way. You will definitely not achieve wealth by working. But a balenced portfolio will probably help: some (well picked) stocks, etf's and gold. Wouldn't you agree?

  2958. Unbelievably strong broadcast, thank you 💁

  2959. Looking forward to it Gary. X

  2960. Just sent an email to my mp.. Dear Kemi Would you be able to raise a question in parliament, where is the 700Billion pounds the government gave out during Covid? Some kind of analysis as to where it has gone. who has it now. This is a matter of public interest.
    3
  2961. "You are poor!" Thanks Gary, appreciate that. Looks around. Yes now that you mention it I think I got the message. I say this because its funny, but I appreciate your insight.

  2962. Nice one dude you are an exception to the rule that power and wealth corrupts and use your platform superbly.

  2963. This almost made me cry..this my dear brother is very touching…I hope I continue to listen to you and do the bit that I can do to help my family and myself. Thank you ♥️

  2967. I have no idea why it took so long for the algorithm to show you to me! But now that it has, I’m so grateful. I’m sharing your videos with everyone in my life who I think would be willing to watch them lol I wanted to thank you so much for communicating these messages so clearly and with such obvious expertise, passion, and commitment. Thank you again from Canada and I hope your journey in Japan is a safe and restorative one. I am assuming you probably won’t be reading this comment, as it’s on an older video. That being as it is, I still wanted to express my profound gratitude for all you do. And if you don’t see this, at least it will give your channel a bump in the algorithm 😉

  2968. awesome information as per usual. It would be great if you could create some content around how the little guy can grow or prosper in this broken economy, for example, what business to start, get into buying stocks and shares, how to protect yourself from this broken economy, how to protect your savings ect..
    3
  2969. How should we tax the rich and if we do what impact is it going to have?

  2972. Gary, loved the audio book. Touch of the Good Will Hunting going on and classy final paragraph that made me laugh and shout all at the same time. Appreciate you bringing your knowledge, expertise and life experience to bare in this way.

  2973. Missing your videos Gary. I hope you come back soon

  2978. honest guy who is the first person to even think about helping the system work better for the poor
    3
  2979. Thanks Gary, but like you I too was born poor to the point of homelessness when I was 8. Now I'm a millionaire and live 5mins from Sandbanks. It's a state of mind where an individual builds and be creative, breaking away from other people's idea of how you should live. You must have seen this from your journey from rags to Oxford.

  2980. BEST video yet!!!!!!!!!!!!
    3
  2981. Wow - SO very interesting and informative! I have a lot of respect for you, Gary - I reckon most guys your age, with your money, would take the easy route of telling us plebes that we're spending too much on Starbucks. The elites must hate you - please hire security...

  2985. Would love to see you on the Joe Rogan podcast, more people need to hear your story/ message!!

  2986. Extremely well said and thank you for your efforts.

  2987. You are a total inspiration Gary. ‘Power to the people!’ ❤
    3
  2988. Terrible forever. Let that sink in.
    3
  2989. Nice one Gary. Love your vids. Question though - you say you back a capitalist system (whether we live in one is a question with nish being actually produced rather than extracted as rent) but say it must tackle inequality. So, while we had in the mid 20th century much lower levels of inequality in the global North this was always based on the continuation of the predatory relation with the colony. Capitalism was built on this and continues to so through mineral/rare metal extraction for low carbon shit never mind the oil shit. So, I have to ask how does a system based on inequality and endless growth get us out of this hole? Must stress I like your stuff and would class you as a heterodox economist and that is why no one speaks your lingo in the orthodox wing.
    3
  2990. Keep up the good fight Gary. You won the game. You could easily wash your hands of this, and go retire early in some balmy country, and forget about all this. Some people aren't even worth saving. They voted for Brexit, they voted for Trump, the rise of the far right is on the horizon, but you haven't given up on them. So thank you
    3
  2991.  @garyseconomics  Don't be in too much of a rush, quality is much better than quantity, in my opinion. 🙂
    3
  2992. I'm with you Gary! I've been watching this chit show come down upon the majority by the moneyed minority for the last 50 years, while the 95% were propagandized, divided and kept blind! I've been spreading you wherever I can!
    3
  2993. Once again you have made such a valid point by asking the question what does growth actually mean and to which economic class the asset economy or the working economy classes. The phrase is a smokescreen for their actions which is the transfer of wealth evident in the explosion of wealth inequality. They consider us who are real human beings like some Homo Economicus a creature they created from their own bias. There are very few of you left Gary the youth need you.
    3
  2994. Listening through your YouTube channel. Spot on!

  2995. Sick jumper, love it

  2996. People in power don't want to lose power by you pointing out they are going in the wrong direction. I worked in London in Merchant banking from the 1990s onwards. I worked at the highest level in UBS, Lloyds, Standard Chartered, Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi and a couple of others. Nothing has changed, what you are describing has always been that way. When I returned to New Zealand to have children I tried to educate our politicians in New Zealand and like you no one would listen to me. Another issue is that the people who are good at winning elections are not the same people who are good at solving problems in the economy and building a good country etc. I still keep trying and I urge you to as well.

  2997. For such a young bloke, you talk a lot of sense.

  3000. Another great video
    3
  3001. Hi Gary, thank you for all the videos you have posted. I have watched most of them and totally agree with your message. However I do have one question….you say that what we need to do is “come together” etc…what do you actually mean by this? What can we actually do except be aware about what is happening?
    3
  3002. Gary - thank you for your advocacy ❤
    3
  3003. This is a great explanation. I’ve always struggled to understand the benefits of privatisation. In a society where the government or taxpayer owns assets, you have to pay your staff and for maintenance. In a privatised scenario you still have to pay those expenses plus interest or sub contractors etc etc. But the idea of introducing socialism is now considered extreme and radical. We’re doomed.
    3
  3004. This video was deep. Definitely gave us an insight into the world of institutional trading environment as a career but also the positive and negative impact it has on the individual. Keep this content coming, Sir. Will be sure to purchase a copy of your book.
    3
  3005. Change could not soon enough, certainly over due

  3006. I finished the book today. It was AMAZING.

  3007. Supporting the message from New England USA 💪

  3008. Really glad you're back Gary. We need you in the game informing us ordinary people about economics and why it's important..... Keep it coming!
    3
  3009. Big respect what an inspiration
    3
  3010. even for working people not on UC wages have not increased as much as the price of baskets of goods have increased.. Keep up what you are doing and i'd love too see more of this! would be interesting to know your opinion on the new budget that was discussed yday by the parliament
    3
  3011. I liked the video before I hit play. That's how much confidence I have in this channel
    3
  3012. Great to see you will use the book to fight the cause Gary 💪 expect resistance from those with the wealth & power but truth will prevail
    3
  3013. That's a very important video!!
    3
  3014. Great show as always, you're the only person I can relate to in these times. This is because you're direct about it and that's what more and more middle class peps need to be ingesting....and after a year now of viewing you, it's high time I bought your book 🙂
    3
  3015. This is so important… sharing with everyone I know ✨ Thank you Gary for all you share
    3
  3016. bruv you're so on point here, i hope you continue to blow up and spread your points, russell brand was a great platform, keep it coming, eat the rich or maybe just have a wealth tax

  3017. Go Gary ......Go Gary........

  3018. Mind those liquids near your device 😊

  3019. Banging video! What I can't get my head around is whether there'd be anything stopping putting a pause on people having to pay rent if the properties are owned by private companies. I'm sure they wouldn't like it but maybe there could be some reasonable limits or something they'd still own the assets and could continue benefiting in future. As you said on your website physical capital can't be moved away from taxation.

  3023. What a video this was
    3
  3024. Hey Gary , just started reading your book - loving it . Brings back many memories . I too started in Canary Wharf on the trading floor at another bulge bracket firm there . Your experience v similar to mine - in that grew up South London and I went to a London university although was UCL to study economics and used a window rather than the front door - to get in to the city - rather than playing the oboe 😂. I also got out after a decade . Hopefully our paths will cross before you become too famous - I see you making a lot of difference - well done. I’m Long Stevenson stock🥳- Zach

  3025. Really interesting video! All sorts of subjects suggested in this video already crossed my mind beforte the post.
    3
  3026. Excellent Gary, thank you...and i'm so glad you have ditched the "background music" on more recent videos...it is very distracting.
    3
  3027. Thank you for the vedio, very informative and insightful!
    3
  3028. Gary, I am so glad that you are back! I’ve been waiting patiently for your return and appreciate all of your honest content. I share your videos with as many people as I can. I love that your humble beginnings help inform who you are. You explain economics very understandably, not that it’s hard to figure out what’s going on in the UK and the US. Keep doing the hard work, you’re one of the good ones! All the best from Colorado

  3029. Would love you to chat to Russell Brand.

  3034. This is a good example of why you might want to put these videos a little sooner; it sounds strange listening to this video NOT talking about the Farage riots. But please keep them coming and we will continue to amplify.💚💚💚

  3035. I wonder all these scammers that post here about some fictional guy making them earn money, do they think there are so many idiots out there to believe them? Understand each trading video recently I keep seeing these fake comments about some people helping some people make money, all dying the same and under each post there is some fake name. All this is a BIG SCAM. Don’t believe those comments. The scammers realized they were banned from Viber and watsupp chat scamming now they are posting multiple comments under fake accounts advertising their fake scam money gurus. So desperate of those scammers. It wouldn’t be the case if law would be harsher to them. All would disappear knowing they might spend their entire life in prison. It is horrifying how many of those scammers scam all people’s saving out under this and that trading guru name which all are either fake or faking somebody else’s name who has nothing to do with these scammers. People, don’t believe this vitali something guy. The best case scenario, it is a scam group.
    3
  3036. Damn You're GOOD !!!
    3
  3037. I’ve just read the article in this weekends FT about you (September 15th 2024). What’s interesting about that article is they spend the whole article discussing whether you were the top trader at Citi or not rather than covering all this things that you raised in your book about life as a city trader and the ramifications for wider society. Which m, by the way, they don’t seem to refute in the article too. Keep up the good work Gary. Cheers

  3040. Now another cracking video. Keep them coming your voice is getting louder

  3041. Just found your channel Gary, you’re spot on. I’m your parents gen, so milked the system. Worked with the big agencies in residential development for 37 years, 20 of which was IoD, Canary Wharf. Seen the lot go up, down and back up. It’s a basket case. Now helping estate regenerations with councils and housing associations. Renting must be a viable alternative way of life, like it used to be. That’s the only way to break our ownership obsession.. Oh & stick CGT on sale of main residences, that’ll things out a bit too.

  3042. The richest way to get get rich is to love your self your friends and family. Richness of life is worth than money. Money doesn't make you happy it brings you choices

  3043. It is scary for everybody right now. The best outcomes are that we now know the power of our neighbours and community.

  3044. I know your real mate, street lads know street lads, stronger together ❤

  3045. Watched the videos, the interviews, bought the book... But this is really exceptionally well explained. Thank you mate, keep going.
    3
  3046. Its great to FINALLY find a person with a similar understanding of the situation we're in. House price rising is only good when you plan to SELL. Otherwise, you pay more in tax and upkeep, how is that "good"? In a perfect(ly fair) world there would be 0% inflation (it's only purpose is to make general population FEEL richer in numbers but become POORER in purchasing power). But all governments stubbornly repeat mantra that "INFLATION IS GOOD!!!!!!!!" seriously some people need to rethink economics as a whole. Or, you know, get rid of it. We couldn't make it work for the benefit of all, but only for 0.1%. Accept, grieve, move on. Anyways, thanks for sharing your opinion.

  3049. So excited to hear about the not for profit company / patreon. Looking forward to hearing how I can share and support in any way I can, as will many many others I'm sure. For a cause like this, you don't need big PR. People know the truth when they hear it and they recognise authenticity. It will grow organically, because people are genuinely desperate for another way. We need this like oxygen. Enjoy Japan. I hope you can switch your head off and really relax.

  3050. Great interview. Insightful & honest. Thank you

  3052. Just saw a clip of you on Politics Live explaining the farce that "levelling up" is. 🤣🤣🤣 They looked stunned, well done for speaking up Gary, brilliant.

  3056.  @garyseconomics  Okay, well, my stupidity aside, that was an otherwise excellent summary of the absolute state of things. Thank you for your work. I've been making my way through your website and really enjoying your writing style. I look forward to a video on how people might begin to exert pressure on our institutions to reverse these miserable trends. Maybe the French had the right of it in 1793...
    3
  3057. Gary is a pretty sick guy isnt he. Legend status.
    3
  3058. when you argues about Denise Coates paying herself as much as she wants, i really really want to see you absolutely hammer this point home how unfair, unjust, unequal this is. Hammer home how there is no world where a working class citizen who owns increasingly less assets is able to simple pay themselves 480k per hour, let alone pay for their own food. Anybody at all who could believe somebody doing what Denise Coates has just done is fair for a society and creates wellbeing is just incorrect and will with time be proven again and again to be incorrect. Its inevitable because it is just true.
    3
  3059. New subscriber. I saw you on channel 5 Brian Cox: How the Other Half Live tonight and love how real you are. I am 32 and i am into real estate, and funds. I wish more people knew what you are saying.

  3060. Thanks Gary. This makes complete sense when you explain it. More people should watch this. Scary AF though, for the ordinary person!

  3069. Great Video Gary. Really appreciating everything you're doing to get all this vital information out to the people. Respect! 👍
    3
  3070. Brilliant. Heard about you from your guest appearance with Russell Brand. Great to see people interested in Economics of the Poor. Not a lot of money in it but a lot more interesting and relevant to people like me. Hope you get a Nobel Prize some day. :-)

  3080. Gas was higher in 2006. I hurt my back is why I remember. Minimum wage hasn't went up either! Why I'm Democrat not Republican to keep the rich richer.

  3084. Stevenson saying that Sunak acts in the interests of the wealthy elite cannot be classified or dismissed as a “cheap shot”. He is not making an ad hominem attack, he is providing evidence for a sociopolitical claim based on observation. The real cheap shot is trying to dismiss that observation by labelling it a mere cheap shot.
    3
  3085. Interesting. I think you may have been at the same Piketty talk that I went to also at the Oxford Union. Before that I've read his book "Capital in the Twenty-first century", and so was aware of the growing raise in inequality. Highly rail Piketty's work. Your talk was very intersting and thought-provoking. What you didn't cover - perhaps another day - was why governments gave away all of their assets and who they gave them to. I mean, why make yourself poor in the first place by giving away your house? Tax is one way of dealing with the issue. War, and the total destruction of wealth is another. The latter was the great leveller after WW I and II and led to progressive taxation in UK and US, and also the establishment of the Welfare State with better and more affordable education, and council hosuing for millions too.
    3
  3086. Please keep growing Gary..we do need people like you to highlight this information.. Keep going.. I will keep watching and sharing.. you will get there.. it’s important and vital work.. you have influence.. it takes time.. we need you! PS.. I think you and Russell Brand should get together to widen this message..
    3
  3087. Could not be more chuffed for you mate, we are with you 100%!! 🙏

  3088. How do we challenge the current tax system? What would be your solution? You are very inspirational brother

  3089. My blood is boiling. We need to ban together. Can we set up a community?. Let's start our family then neighborhood .. etc

  3093. First to comment!

  3094. Gary, you star. Check out the Tory's face!
    3
  3095. You are up there with my hero’s Gary, genuinely! You have said the things I’ve thought for a decade or so but eloquently and with knowledge and understanding. But I think the way to go is tax the super wealthy at the same rate as the rest of us. You talk about a small percentage tax on “passive income” and the like but sod that, why aren’t the wealthy paying the same tax brackets as the rest of us? We pay what 20-40% plus national insurance? Why aren’t the super rich taxed at the same rate as us? Why don’t they want us to succeed? Why don’t you want to give back to the society who funds your life and that of your family for generations to come. We don’t want to be as wealthy as you but we want the basics, a home we own and the ability to have children and holidays and the life we all deserve, a takeaway now and again, olive oil haven’t had olive oil since COVID

  3098. Realised something the other day - the way the economy seems to work right now once someone starts earning more than they can spend then they are almost locked in to an accelerated path to getting more and more - the excess money automatically goes towards buying assets - either directly (buying stocks or a house) or indirectly (they leave the money in the bank and the banks use it to buy assets or lend out - which is buying assets through another route) - which start generating passive income which will also get re-invested into more assets (because they're already spending as much as they can) which will generate more money and so on until they die and pass the accumulated wealth on making the situation worse. So increasing the taxes on high earners and passive income may also be needed to slow growth in inequality.

  3104. This is excellent Gary, congratulations and very well deserved success. We all need to share this and publicise the ideas you are highlighting!

  3105. Hey man, first time viewer here. This was very touching, and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your thoughts and time, and most of all for pushing me to challenge the status quo I exist in. I feel I have been too selfish in my time here, I'd like to change that

  3112. Well done Gary, so humble too, you frequently used the term “we” rather than “me”. Your book was the first print book I’ve bought in probably twenty years. I loved it, so poignant and touching in places. It left me wanting more. I love that you are getting recognition in high places. You give so many of us hope for the future, please keep it up. I have one question, how does your bobble hat stay on 😂. Mine always slides off.
    3
  3113. Excellent for all kinds of reasons. Starkly depicts how the BBC and the mainstream media almost never has anyone with insight actually speaking about obviously the most important issues with any realism. Instead it’s all a distraction with relative trivialities such as “lab grown meat”. I wonder if you’ll be invited back Gary….

  3114. seen a few vids so far so good

  3116. Bro, just discovered you today, really appreciate your message. Look forward to reading the book.

  3117. i can't recall where i put a pre-order in and the email confirmation must have got 'recycled' as i get 60 spam a day. Anyway, it means another sale as i gota buy another copy.😃maybe its delayed getting to Oz or in a backlog of pre-orders...i'll give it another few weeks. cheers Gary. lets bridge this divide !

  3118. welcome back mate book ordered thanks for the code.count me infor this new rethink and merry Christmas to you all and your families

  3119. It's such an obvious one for the government to hide behind with a statement such as "Rising energy prices effect us all" The reality, as Gary mentions, is the super rich can afford to pay more for a consumable which in percentage terms makes up such a small amount of earnings. To be in 2022 and working class families now have a heat or eat dilemma is a total disgrace while the rich get richer at record breaking rates!!

  3120. Gary you’re a legend, these mps are mental, this video proves that they’re completely out of touch with the average citizen on the street and have no clue about economics

  3125. I'm in one the traditional professions and know people in the other traditional professions. We are all hurting, our work is no longer well paid by far. I would join a union but as most of us are not employed by huge companies/govt there is no point. No one in my company is getting rich, who would we protest? Everything has been run into the ground, relying on people to the do the right thing despite we no longer see any financial reward.

  3128. There was a great guy in the audience on Question Time this week. He endorsed the position you are taking. He said the the Super Rich - the billionares - have so much money they could not spend it all in their whole lifetime. Why does one person need or have so much money. Crazy system.

  3129. Fantastic video Gary. I learn something everytime.

  3137. Keep up the good work bro 💪

  3138. Wow, it blew my mind the way you describe it Gary. I had the thought already that its impossible for someone to be rich without someone also being poor and vice versa, but your description is better.
    3
  3139. First!

  3140. You've got to feel for gary, he keeps hammering it in but im not sure that they're listening or they don't want to listen

  3152. Thanks for the book Gary. I bought a hardback copy last year and you have torn the scab off the hypocrisy of the British class system and what you reveal ain't pretty.

  3153. Cycled past your gaff this morning, nice part of London. Have a great holiday Gary, keep up the great work :)

  3154. I am emotional watching this Gary. You are a genuine HERO to a huge amount of people, Authentic and hard working. Your book is magic too, enjoy your holiday, we will all still be here when you get back. 👊

  3157. They're already doing it. There are plenty of schools where the building and/or land doesn't belong to the government and rent is being paid by the funds paid to schools by the Department of Education, before even getting into schools where they're basically renting due to paying off their own building debts.

  3158. Welcome back! Really looking forward to this book. Your story needs to be heard by lots more people. Happy Christmas Gary ❤

  3163. You explained crystal clear one of the biggest flaws in modern economics: unstated or wrong assumptions. So instead of Prisoners dilemma => selfish behavior, we have Assume selfishness => selfish behavior. In computer science, one would call this garbage-in garbage-out.
    3
  3164. Well said. Keep growing your influence
    3
  3165. This is heartrending and heartening at the same time, Gary. Thank you for saying these things out loud from where you stand. Your concluding remarks I feel and agree with from my heart. Also,…I’m exhausted from over half a century of just surviving. The Widow’s Mite story is meant to make the mite-owners of the world AND the gold-coin holders both feel better about where she lives and how. I’m sure the Widow in the story, if she were a real person, would have simply shrugged, feeling neither noble nor gratified by her gift. It would have been something she did out of habit, believing it to be the right thing, for whatever her reasons were. And then she would have gone home to figure out how to make a meal out of little to nothing.
    3
  3166. Pushback is to be expected from those interested in keeping people ignoring the inevitable effects of not distributing wealth fairly enough to keep those mostly producing it just surviving, nevermind thriving. What people don't really understand is that this is nothing new. I was reading a piece by Gore Vidal from July 1961 about the willingness of the "Conservatives" in the USA to embrace the ideas of Ayn Rand, who argued that altruism and justice were immoral, and that the Cult of "I" should replace Christianity, and other religions, and values. Then I watched Philiosphy Tube's latest video that described how the powerful encourage those they need to keep compliant and cooperative in keeping their gravy train running, to see those harmed by their hoarding and exploitation as not worthy of being cared about. The people, lives, and livelihoods ruined and being cut short by wealth inequality are to be ignored. Or not grieved over. In that, Boris' Johnson's attitudes towards the deaths in Covid were not an aberration. His response to the real damage done by Brexit to business and people's, was not the ramblings of a functional alcoholic - the only personal characteristic he shared with Churchill - but his real belief. They want us to stop feeling that injustice is wrong. That wealth inequality to that extent means that the damaged caused is swept under the carpet, devalued, or seen as not worthy of being grieved at it is destroying the capacity of people and their families to survive, is not inevitable, natural, or virtuous, but a deliberate and calculated harvesting and hoarding of asset wealth to benefit the few. It is the world of "Soylent Green". (Google it.) Where those worthy of consideration as determined by the needs of the powerful are treated are seen as worthy of our consideration, and are granted privilege, whilst those who aren't, are marginalised, seen as inconvenient problems, and their suffering is ignored. This is nothing new. Class and Caste define who gets looked after. And who ends up rioting. And who is blamed and scapegoated. The current form comes from the failure of Neoliberal economics to maintain the postwar economic settlement in the West, and to ignore the social, cultural, economic, and political dislocations and insecurities caused by it, occurring everywhere, and all at once in this present time. People everywhere, except the winners in this rigged game, are pissed at the outcome, and rightfully so. But the wealthy winners, are largely are using their profits to prevent the pitchforks coming for them. They know their fantasy has crashed to earth, to the extent it has created more instability and more frictions. To the extent the fallout is capable of damaging the earth. But, like any addict, they're not ready to give up. So they will not admit their failure, but instead, will double down. Hence, there's more political polarisation, because when people are busy hating each other, they don't notice their pockets being picked. It doesn't have to be that way. Capitalism can work in ways that focus on efficient and effective distribution of asset wealth and resources, instead of beggar thy neighbour. It can work in ways that are safer, cleaner, and that can keep the planet in habitable for humans. But we have to do capitalism differently. Capitalism has to prioritise the basic needs of people and communities before profit. Simply, profit returns to being the means rather than the ends. Capitalism has to pay its way. Simply, the costs of doing business have to be borne by those doing business. Socialism for the rich, and unmitigated capitalism for everyone else is no longer acceptable or desirable. The rich should clean up their own messes, such as pollution, and societal and cultural impacts of their activities. If Capitalism did only those two things, wealth inequality would eventually disappear. Wealth would not disappear. On the contrary, it might even grow in size, with more people being able to access the means of building it. It just would be hoarded by a minority.

  3167. I really appreciate the way you speak. I had somewhat of a similar start in life except I detoured into ecology. That judgment is extremely hard to deal with. Especially going from a rural town to a very prestigious university, so much of life was leagues beyond the "rich" kids from my town of 4000. I think it's great that you create such earnest content. I wouldn't go as far as to say role model but I only recently come to appreciate just how much of an impact seeing just one person who you identify with as the outside in some gatekept field to light the spark that maybe, just maybe, you deserve a spot at that table after all

  3171. Nice bit of Sunday morning sanity, Gary. There's a lot to fix. For me the lowset post bt of the Blair govt was not the war it was John Prescott's support for a super casino. In the east end. Here's to working together and changing the system, tax break by tax break.

  3176. Nowadays I don't think our civilization is lacking in anything wealth wise. The key is to distribute it optimally. The communists think equal distribution is optimal and they have been proven wrong. The capitalists think winner takes all is optimal and it works well until we find that the middle class is shrinking, people can't afford to get marriage, raise kids and the economy stop growing, interest rate start falling ever since. Those without money can't spend, those with money can't invest. People keep counting the dollar bills in their banks without noticing that real wealth is not increasing. Wealth distribution is the key problem here

  3177. Gary - saw you on Novara Media yesterday - you're great, super informative, super intelligent, and aware of inequalities. Are you going to release more frequent videos? Or a podcast? Could listen to you constantly! Respect and solidarity - thank you

  3181. Your info is educating and your constant straightening of the table cloth is relaxing. Thankyou.

  3182. Wow, I never thought about it in a such way. Wealth distribution perspective is quite helpful. Its very short video for this topic. Have you ever thought of Georgism or Land Value Tax particularly?
    3
  3183. That was brilliant and beautifully explained. Thank you.
    3
  3184. I thought you’d have bags of crypto Gary! Excellent description of differences in paying tax for working people vs the wealthy, of unemployment and wage stagnation and taxing corporate assets…if Amazon did bugger off then another crop of businesses would soon fill the gap. Top class!

  3185. Brilliant and simple, truth explained that we all knew but didn't knoe6exactly "how"?

  3188. First, thank you Gary! Amazing videos, amazing work! Keep it up!  The situation is similar in Sweden, where I live. For something like 20-30 years we've had a slow transfer of wealth from the state to the rich, speeding up during covid. For most of that time we've actually had social democrats in power, our Labour Party. They slowed the trickle, but it didn't stop. And what has happened? We now have basically fascists practically in the government, being the puppet masters for a conservative government – the first really conservative government for something like 90 years. And of course this election a month back was one of frustration. The fascist party, the so called Sweden democrats (who hate when you call them fascists), are saying things have not improved, it has even gotten worse – and it has, for many people! They say we've lost something – and maybe we have! It's just that they say that's because of immigration and lack of national unity, which is bollocks. It's because of what Gary says! The wealth slipping through our fingers. We live in one of the richest countries on the planet, yet many of us feel poor. I'm a historian, I know a wee bit of history, and like Gary I'm terrified of what might happen in the future if we can't turn this around. The Sweden democrats got 20-something percent now. What happens if they get 40? Or even a majority? We're talking about peoples' lives here. Long winding comment, sorry about that. Anyway, thanks again, Gary! Keep them coming!

  3189. Pointless video – typical leftist - blames every societal issue on wealth inequality. Targeting the vague enemy of "the rich," and people are eating it up without thinking critically. No real solutions; just another left-wing whiner.
    3
  3190. This speech really touched my heart. You're putting in so much of your energy and love into this message, probably more than you have to spare. Thanks mate!
    3
  3191. I've seen similar articles. The real source of income is in the text, not the headline. Also I'm not giving up avocado toast! 😂

  3193. Great work Gary!

  3194. Already, I've been observing Trolls and negative comments about Gary on this channel, attempting to discredit him, which means that Gary could be seen as a threat. Don't we think? To date there are nearly 300k subscribers, which is great as this number continues to grow, but is also dilute being that many of those subscribers are international - no criticism intended. So the scale of how much faster and bigger the channel needs to grow and develop, in order to be an effective lobbying force, (just in the UK alone) seems to me understated by Gary himself. If Gary offered a channel membership, I'd join it.
    3
  3195. Wow this is so much deeper than I thought it would be.

  3196. I am from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.... if you see what has happened there since 1987 you will see what the UK is facing. Everything you say is true Gary. If people were not so selfish in Vancouver the disaster that is property prices would have had a harder time to take hold....but people are people. What can we do?

  3203. Is it 4 years already?! Split emotions because I’m so happy that all of your followers have spread the word and you are now so well known but gutted that you are so bang on about so much and made so many predictions that have come true ….. in short ; where is the invite from Labour for your government advisor role?!?!

  3204. If they make an example of you know one else will try to leave. I completely sympathise, leaving my last boss, It wasn't easy. They put you in very strange position, very confusing and stressful times.

  3205. Thanks for all your work on wealth inequality. I don't think we are winning the battle but never-the-less worth the struggle. Enjoy your holiday.

  3212. In Seden we have the worst of both capitalism and socialism. The super rich accumulate all assets and make us poor, while the government tax the working middle class and the poor to death, destroying the job market and making us more and more dependent on the state. I think taxes got such a bad reputation because of this situation, but we really need a shift in focus from income tax to wealth tax.

  3215. Happy Anniversary! I first heard about you when you did an interview with Felix Salmon about your book, Trading Game. You were so right about how the financial guys don’t get it. You were telling him how rough things were for working class in UK and you suspected that working class Americans were likely also having a hard time. But Felix was disagreeing with you by saying Americans are doing well. Let me tell you, as an American, regular people are struggling due to high inflation in grocery stores and pay is not keeping up. The folks with homes are getting hit with higher property taxes due to home values up but it can’t be accessed. Those without homes can’t buy them because zoning laws limit new construction of homes and homes that go on market are being bought by investors at the expense of young families who are turned into permanent renters. The economists can’t see it because they don’t talk to people, they just look at aggregated data. Your book was great. Gotta turn it into a film to reach everyone.

  3218. A lot of Eastern Europeans are going back which has a domino effect, plus people are getting more comfortable as time goes and they want office jobs or working from home, so all construction jobs are left without workers because no one actually wants those jobs anymore.

It occurred in Holland during the early to mid-1600s, when speculation drove the value of tulip bulbs to extremes.

  3223. Hello Gary, I'm 17 and came across a video you were in by a channel called 'insider'. And first of all id like to thank you for your honesty about the reality of trading and finance. With all that being said i would like to let you know i want to become a very good trader myself and make money for myself and family through trading and i believe you have the ability to help me. Is there anyway for me to contact you privately? Or is it okay if i could ask for you to make a series on this channel on how your knowledge kf economics falls into trading, specifically retail trading

  3224. Congratulations on your best-seller, Gary. I’ve been following your campaign for a long while now, and your messaging is just so important.

  3234. Economics aside for a mo your accent is London for sure coz ur from there but it's different. Did you grow up with a lot of black English coz that's what's coming through loud and clear....lairk, no wapmeen. Brrrrrrr booashakah.

  3235. Merry Christmas Gary, have a good one. Just pre-ordered the Kindle version of your book on Amazon. :)

  3236. I'm on London Senior Software Engineer wages, living with my partners parents to save up for a house, and even after a year we're barely there for something modest in the midlands. I never imagined being on this kind of money, I grew up in a council area, four siblings just on one teachers wage. I've worked my arse off for nearly 15 years to get to where I am, and I thought if I ever made it to my current wage I'd be set for life and all the long hours and extra work would be all worth it. But is it fuck. But what's worse is, how the fuck are people on national average wages and less getting by? It's an absolute shit show.
    3
  3237. And in America right now in many states such as Iowa companies are so desperate to stop wages going up they got the Republicans to repeal child labour laws, allowing children to serve alcohol and do night shifts and more importantly for the soulless corporations bring wages down.

  3238.  @garyseconomics  thanks chief. People fail to see that after 2008/9 financial BANKing crisis social care funding as well as other things were MASSIVELY slashed. Disabled people had to PAY a contribution and councils forced to cut social care payments. Oh and EU citizens were spending money in UK, 20% of which was VAT....which went to pay UK citizens! Bankers win again..."look...he's going to steal your biscuit!"..(whilst the banker takes your biscuit)

  3239. Gary comparing himself to Copernicus is brilliant.. too bad it took some 150yrs for heliocentrism to become mildly accepted (and many deaths at the pyre) Lets hope we are a bit better this century

  3246. Awesome job on Piers. I've been sharing the clips with family and friends. Keep it up. ❤

  3247. Nothing will change until the young start voting with their feet. Still way too much vested interest in ordinary homeowners who cashed in to support a system that keeps asset prices (home) inflated at all other costs.
    3
  3248. Welcome back Gary, I wondered what you were up to, but knew it would be something positive! I'm. Definitely buy the book, is there going to be an audiobook version by any chance? Can't wait to get behind the channel and now the book and wider media and campaigning. I've shared a lot of your shorts and longer videos with friends, they are very powerful, clear and make you think about what has been happening, and what could happen next. Keep up the great work!!
    3
  3249. Gary you are 100% correct you completely changed my opinion on this topic. This is an interesting video on shared ownership and using a country’s assets to benefit the people while also benefitting from the skills of corporations…Norways has one of the most equal distributions of wealth and the results speak for themselves.

  3252. his is my first video on your channel, and although I haven't watched it yet, I have already subscribed. Please don't let me down like the other guys. I have watched your interviews, and you seem like a genuinely good person, so I'm going to give it a fair chance.

  3254. Amazing channel you can see it all around you the rich get richer and the poor get more poor. Impossible to stop the rich have too much influence in what happens with taxes.

  3255. "looks like you don't need to play the oboe at least," that did make me laugh. Not sure what that says about the audience.
    3
  3256. This is all so true. It really explains why this vague frustration and anger has been growing and growing. What I struggle with is what comes next. What are the new ideas? What’s the goal exactly. The absence of inequality opens the door, but my mind goes blank beyond that.

  3260. It's weird how while you raise class consciousness, people keep pressing you for financial advice.
    3
  3261. Absolutely fantastic video, thanks Gary for your hard work and was a reason I did get into cryptocurrency, a potential way to gain financial freedom but not available to everyone who are struggling from pay check to pay check. Tax the super rich, let’s get it!

  3285. Cant get it to load, weird, no prob with any other video on YouTube Illuminati at work?
    3
  3286. I like the channel and what you’re doing. The message of investing in assets is a good one. I’m still on the fence about inflation - there are some deflationary factors out there too. Looking forward to more videos 👍🏻
    3
  3287. You're doing a fucking great job Gary, keep pushing the message is all you can do, but take care of yourself first.
    3
  3288. I studied economics as my degree because I wanted to learn how the world worked. Most of the modelling seemed dated and revolved around an economy that was industrialised not de industrialised so it didnt tallly or apply to the reality of what I saw around me in the UK, it was more historical than contemporary not to mention that you could argue the models didnt really marry up with historial data that well. If Gary thinks the best economists in the country cant understand the difference of reality of economics vs economic models, then we dont really have a chance with these politicians who cant really do anything but feedback what they have been told by their party as brainless automatons. I would prefer an AI overlord at this point, in the hopes that they dont think is best to destroy all humans for out own benefit. The concepts Gary was bringing up and his arguments went right over all their heads, they think they are defending capitalism but they are defending a sort of self destructive kleptocracy.
    3
  3289. Nice... Very true... I would only add that passive income is relative... Someone is always actively paying...

  3290. Very elegant way of turning the prisoner's dilemna problem into a demonstration of how capitalism encourages selfishness, and all without swearing!

  3293. 👍

  3294. one of your best talks yet imho, really good.
    3
  3295. The fascinating thing is, that Gary, you are a glitch, an anomaly born of fluke in a broken economic system. You got through the cracks of a rigged system, and only someone that does that is in an authority to say how the system is rigged or broken. Others have claimed it, but only a someone like you can speak of it. Economics I believe is not a method of understanding a system, but a tool by which to extract wealth. The fact that it is so often wrong, doesn't really matter to the rich, so long as it serves its purpose of extracting more and more wealth and dividing it amongst the richest in society.
    3
  3296. Thanks Gary. Sad times

  3299. Listened to the book as soon as it came out on audible. Loved hearing the story that built you as a man of integrity. The disconnect of shorting against wealth equality, and the realisation that this isn’t it. You are inspirational Gary. Rooting for you. Would like to support more as soon as I can get my family on the right path. Happy 2025!
    3
  3300. Where are you man, please come back to us!
    3
  3301. Thanks for your videos Gary. It is indeed strange times, especially comparing ourselves to our parents. Living near London, after working there for over a decade, and with a 2 year old, we are just about to do the mortgage jump. For us, we have no family connections here, no roots, and frankly we started from ground zero during covid times in terms of our own ltd company. Our main goal is to leave something for our little one for her future. Hence we are about to take this massive debt (probably a 30 year mortgage) I can understand what you mean by actually using that money to make more money, but perhaps it is our narrow mind, or perhaps it is our lack of wanting to take risks that we are going down this path. Regardless, I am worried every night about the future =) Keep up the good work, there is a need for videos like these. Love your style. S

  3302. Got it yesterday and finished it today. Cracking read- very well written and a good entry point for people new to your mission.

  3304. very nicely explained i have same thought about this trap

  3305. Your channel was just mentioned on ABC Radio (the equivalent of BBC in Australia)
    3
  3306. Watching from the states, just wanted to say thank you for doing this work. It gives me hope that something can be done. It's an absolute $#+t show over here, the ultra rich have completely bought our government and now directly control it.
    3
  3307. Gary , I read your article in the Guardian a while back where you said that you were buying gold. Do you still think gold is a good investment?
    3
  3308.  @garyseconomics  these are intentions I can fully get behind. Sorry for seeming very abrupt in the ending of my comment but my trust is non existent in people right now so I feel like I need to know peoples intentions before I blindly support them. Keep it up Gary
    3
  3309. I think this for me is your best video to date.
    3
  3310. We need more people like Gary!!! Does anyone know where we can access statistics and graphs like the one in this video to help spread awareness?
    3
  3311. Ngl the title kinda scared me and for a moment I thought Gary MIGHT have been selling out for some random coin — glad to see this was an informative/cautionary video
    3
  3312. It is a very good book...
    3
  3313. Only just caught up with this Gary that was great shame they didn't pick up on your actual points but great job in sticking to your message in spite of them trying to throw you off.

  3315. Enjoy your break, loved the book 💪🏼👌

  3316. @Gary's economics Wealth inequality also fuels divisions. This natural discontent and insecurity is weaponized by cruel and morally bankrupt politicians and directed at for instance; migrants, homeless and people on universal credit.
    3
  3317. Good job Gary. No one left behind rhetoric was bullshit from govt, but from you its real. Ill risk all to make that happen. If it doesnt, and the window is getting smaller all the time to stop this, we are all doomed, so im all in. We are in a fight for the future of humanity right here, right now. Kudus to you and I hope you get squillions of subscribers and an army of voters to make the change thats needed. The mega rich dont even know they are on the misery train. Lets help them off.
    3
  3318.  @garyseconomics  woah 😮 and you have another 80,000 subscribers 3 months later. I would love to hear you have a discussion with Yannis Varoufakis. Not because I like him though…..

  3321. Hi Gary...just stopped by after I've been reading your book, to tell that you are a beautiful soul and really enjoyed your story. As a non native English speaker, your book was the first one I've red it in 2 days..kind a sad I finished it. Regards from Belfast.
    3
  3322. you have to go in into politics ❤❤✌✌👍👍👑👑
    3
  3323. So if we act selfishly (or are persuaded to be selfish (i.e. divide and rule)): then apart from the very rich, we will all end up poorer. So it is in the richest members of society interest to keep us all divided and mis-trusting each other, rather than support each other. Explains a lot.
    3
  3324. Just bought the audiobook. Pleased to see you narrated it yourself! It's always better when autobiography type books are read by the author.
    3
  3325. You state cash is not safe and an alternative is stocks and shares, but the way the stock market is acting there is a possibility of a huge market crash, what then?
    3
  3326. Enjoy your holiday Gary. I can’t imagine how the pressure of building a movement like you have must weigh on oneself. We’re all here to listen and do our part. We need massive change but with people like you in our lives it feels like we can do achieve it 😊
    3
  3327. I finished listening to the audiobook (I also bought the book) last week and I can see how it could be turned into a TV series. You have to make sure, I'm sure you will that your core message isn't sidelined, because it's your realisation of how the economy/markets work and your conscience within that, that makes the story compelling. Your narration brought the characters to life. Some of the nicknames were brutal, but I'm sure apt and made me laugh. I could picture a lot of the scenarios. I worked in the City doing admin back in the day. You demystified the workings of a trading floor which you describe so well. Can thoroughly recommend this book. Good luck with everything. Will you write any more books?

  3330. I found it interesting that there was an attempt to spin it on the BBC that Gary was against furlough which personally I think was a low thing to do, its hard to get across a complex economic point in sound bite chunks which end up leaving the debate hanging

  3339. I never knew the guy from Trainspotting was so good at giving financial advice. Love your content gary, keep it coming!

  3340. I mean, it's pretty clear that ordinary people don't really benefit from a booming economy anyway anymore. The rich are skimming the cream and half the milk too. Leftovers for the rest of us.
    3
  3341. Another really informative video, if more people watch and understand some of these complex issues maybe we can make a difference in this country

  3342. Had to go to the high seas to get your book.. sorry about that... it's a best 'seller' there as well.👍

  3350. gary thank you so much for your thorough explanations, i am from greece and pretty much what you are describing for uk is happening here as well
    3
  3351. Quite simply, THAT MONEY IS NOT THOSE BILLIONAIRE’S ASSETS! They have only gained such ridiculous, uncountable bloody wealth because of a rigged system. Take it! Steal it, and screw them. No one needs that much money. Principle of ‘finders keepers’ which seems to be the proxy argument here, is so childish and un workable in a civilised bloody society. Unbelievable. The amount of money is literally unreal, but the shear volume of it tilts our normal people economy out of whack. By every metric. It’s bloody stupid! We USED to health a super wealth tax. It was sensible then, it’s sensible now

  3352. gem of a youtube channel stuff that no Uni will teach you
    3
  3353. Please don’t burn out Gary! Or let the main stream media suck the life out of you. You’re onto something here of your own making. Teaching Gary’s Economics to kids in school in an age appropriate way would be awesome. Good people help good people. From one paper round kid to another. Keep up the good work. Don’t forget to take a break! The way your brain races so quickly and relentlessly needs its own time to decompress too. You are a real best of British product 🇬🇧 Let’s export you worldwide 🌎

  3354. Jesus, these videos should be called "Gary's Therapy", where Gary can't get things off his chest and hopefully dislodge the massive chip on his shoulder
    3
  3355. Hi Gary, maybe I have missed something here but if I have understood correctly that money flows inexorably upwards then what is to stop the redistribution of wealthy taxation to the working population back upwards to the wealthy? Thanks
    3
  3356. Just as Gary predicted, Labour are putting up taxes on workers and cutting money to the working class, e.g. winter fuel payments to pensioners.

  3361. Gary you rock that's all.
    3
  3362. I’m so grateful to be educated about economics in a way that makes sense and explain why and how this inequality of security and wealth happens. Thank you for your learning at LSE and Oxford, making your thesis available and sharing your knowledge. This act is righting wealth inequality which leads to can’t afford to be educated class.
    3
  3363. You were on fire here bro. Simplicity is King, not cash. Cash comes naturally from simplicity. "Life is life. A game is a game". My take. When life becomes a gamification, we stop living. Like love, life is not a game. They are not the same. One is a fiction, the other just is. You have to be alive to be hot!
    3
  3364. You are just pointless noise . Guys run away from this dude

  3365. You are amazing Gary. Thank you for all you're doing. I will buy your book and encourage others to do so. I support everything you are doing. Well done👍

  3371. I love it..... The part of the story where you ask a fellow trader should we do something and he responds saying we have, we put the trade on just shows how removed from the world you can become.

  3375. Thanks for all you do Gary. I think Patreon is a great idea, especially if there isn't a minimum amount. I'm currently an unpaid carer, so trying to get by on £327 pcm, but would happily chip in as your voice is so very important. Hope you're having a fab time in Japan!!

  3377. Thanks for all your work on this vital matter Gary. I hear your name being mentioned more and more nowadays (always in a positive way). The message IS getting out there.

  3378. Camera /lighting looking good. Great message about GDP.
    3
  3379. I hate Gary. He's so right, scary eye opener.
    3
  3380. Put this guy on TV and speak your truth. It is not the fault of the average person for their situation. It's not because they are lazy, it's not inevitable and it's not because the government is mispending on the NHS... we need the public to know this and for the government to focus on public policy priorities like stop Right to Buy, build social housing and keep it, limit 2nd home ownership especially on the coast...the way the economy is run is not sustainable and is eating at the soul of the UK

  3384. I've said it before and I'll say it again! Gary for PM!
    3
  3385. My landlord have increased my rent. She has over 3 properties in the area but pushing up rent and proposing that I get public funds if I can't meet up! My advice to everyone, reduce your debt as best as you can, I haven't been on holiday for over 3 years now and my debt is so low. Sold my car, cut down on spending drastically.
    3
  3386. But you didn't give an alternative solution. Anyone can say "they did it wrong"

  3387. Just the obligatory algorithm comment. 👍

  3389. You're a multi millionaire? Then why are you using fairy liquid? Checkmate

  3390. This makes so much sense - so the idea of BlackRock buying up actual houses is part of the problem - but the deeper problem is due to the mortgages being given out by banks, who pay interest to their shareholders (ultra wealthy) so its that they have the control over the mortgages of the homes is how they own them de facto.
    3
  3391. Your message is extremely important, but you can articulate it really well also. It would help you to have (additionally) some clear messages that the lay person can promote (put on a placard for instance). 2 or 3 clear messages that we can bring to the streets.

  3396. Yep, very clear explanation and as usual involves the usual suspects.

  3401. As a German the next election coming up here is really scary as well. I'm not sure, how it would be possible to reach the (increasingly bigger) extremist voters. It difficult to get an open-minded dialogue... As the saying goes: it's easier to fool a person than to convince them they have been fooled.🙈

  3404. Your channel is inspiring even though it’s depressing at least you explain the problems so they can be understood …. I’ve got your book, talk about the problems with our water systems what a disgrace a Australian investment bank Macquarie doesn’t invest In waste disposal so we all have to swim and drink sewage so the dividends of shareholders are protected…. That is messed up “Capitalism “ if that’s what you can call it.

  3407. Studied at the LSE - not economics, but it kind of seeps into everything there, irrespective of what you study - and it was pretty eye opening; would have been 2004-2008 so maybe a similar time to Gary. What I remember the most was having one of my best friends who was doing maths and econ, describe to me what he was studying in his intro to econ course - core principles, parteo efficiency etc etc, hearing some of what was being described, and literally thinking to myself 'why is that your starting position, why do you think that?'. It was basically presented as 'this' is how the economy works - these are the models and the maths, memorise it. But as someone from a non-maths or econ background looking in from the outside, it sure seemed like (a) there were actually quite a few value judgments and assumptions underpinning a lot of the structure - which weren't even being identified as judgments and assumptions, never mind questioned as such, and (b) there just didn't seem to be very much critical engagement with what was being taught - you were basically memorising the 'how' and not really challenging the 'why'. So to Gary's point - there were certain aspects that just seemed mental to me, like 'what do you mean it doesn't matter how wealth is distributed in the economy?'. I mean if you think back to classical political economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, or economists/philosophers like Marx - at least as I understood it, basically ZERO engagement critically with that kind of thought or debate. Exactly like Gary said - there just seemed to be no curiosity as an undergrad as to WHY what was being taught was true (in a subjective sense), what the impact was on real people, leading real lives, and whether the way the economy was currently set up was a good thing, or a bad think, and what a 'good' economy should probably look like. Even more intersting of course graduating in 2008 when the house of cards came crashing down, and so I'm told by some of my friends who graduated econ or maths and econ at the same time, some of what they'd be taught as near immutable 'truths' just a year or two earlier, were completely discredited and subsequently killed off of future courses. Sad but true...

  3410.  @garyseconomics  I understand. It’s all so new and uncharted for so many. I’ll keep notifications on. Am sure that whatever thoughts you have will be sharp and insightful. Thanks for listening.

  3411. Started the audiobooks last night, and I’m done now. Brilliant and insightful, I’m still low key impressed shock about many things shared in there

  3412. Been watching and listening to you for a looòong time. More power to you! Great to see things taking off. ❤
    3
  3413. Commenting for the algorithm. Great video as always
    3
  3414. I'm sorry to hear about your mental health issues Gary, the reason I mentioned this is because of any thinking person with even a smidgen of critical thinking has mental issues living in this political dystopia. In other words you're not alone! Thank goodness you're back let's create an alternative. 😊
    3
  3415. I’m german but I closely followed the past events in the US as I find them extremely concerning, that’s how I found your video. You explained the reasons why inequality is bad for everyone but rich people so well! I hope many people find this video, but it probably mostly reaches the people who already know about this, as usual :( but still, really important video! Thank you!
    3
  3416. Excellent ❤
    3
  3417. Hi Gary! Love the content. Could you do a video on free market economics at sometime in the future?
    3
  3418. Bernie Sanders is pushing the same message about wealth inequality in America and also about how the ultra wealthy enjoy worrying levels of influence in politics. A potential collab might help bolster your message.
    3
  3419. You have my vote
    3
  3420. New to the channel and loving the videos! Thanks for the hard work putting these together
    3
  3421. Love this video. Trying to get that Mr Burns money will eventually turn you into Mr Burns 😀

  3422. Just heard you interviewed on Radio Scotland. Great to hear your message getting airtime. The Scots are more sensible with economics so hope lots of the Scots pick up your ideas and work together on this.

  3423. If hate divides us and moves money into the pockets of the rich, are you trying to get us to hate the rich so that we sign up for your patreon?

  3426. That brief Grime thing, tho - it clearly never went away. This whole piece cuts like the best poetry. It's truth with soul, which gives hope. Hope's a tricksier bastard than he looks, he can haunt like a fear but he can also chide into action. Thanks for helping remove planks from eyes and put them to much more practical use. X

  3427. This is the TRUTH

  3428. This is an amazing lecture Gary. I’ll be watching it a few more times yet.

  3433. Called it

  3434. Well done. Coming across there as really personable and direct Gary. Shows in the face of fakeness of them TV pundit politics

  3435. The silence after Mr Stevenson speaks is deafening. You know something is worth listening to when this happens.

  3436. Loved your book, Gary. I got the hardback and the audio book. Perfect pairing 👌. Keep up the great work!

  3437. Love it! Was just browsing at the book store today, the title simply catch my eye. Still working on reading it, very simple yet eloquent! Readers from Taiwan say hi here!

  3438. Shameful what's going around the world nowadays. One of the biggest extortions the world has ever seen.

  3440. Thanks Gary,  All my questions on inflation answered in one video ..   Best channel on economics by far

  3441. Payments given to companies producing faulty safety equipment.Rwanda given 84 million for nothing.France paid millions to guard the channel coastal area which it doesn't. Food banks helping working people on inadequate wages or benefits. What does it mean?

  3442. This is a good example of the resistance we will face. Gary is right of course but these insane bootlicker won't allow it.

  3443. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  3444. You have done really well
    3
  3445. The self-criticism/ correction around grammar made the ribs in my chest crunch together. The way that we still carry shame however much we “escape” the economic conditions we grew up in. Gary, the way you speak is just fine and the contribution you make to the movement for economic justice is invaluable.
    3
  3446. Another great video on breaking down the price of houses. I am glad to have found you via Conversation of Money, as you sharing so much information for free. Have you got a LinkedIn? Again keep up the great content, Gary!

  3447. Brilliant explanation! So eye opening. You articulated thoughts which I had only feel intuitively.

  3452. Cause and effect, surely something is coming with such a disconnect between the real economy and the stock markets.. Inflation is natural expectation but what else..?

  3453. Thankyou Gary for sharing and explaining whats what

  3458. Great content keep up the good work.. I think to make it easier for people to understand you need to change the term Rich (means something different for everyone) to say the super wealthy..
    3
  3459. 👍🍻 Gary The Westminster Bubble & the Non Dom billionaire Legacy Media Elites decide what the narrative will be. Have you read The Forde Report? For anyone to describe ANY in this particular group as patriots is a disgraceful bloody insult to ordinary hardworking people, public/civil servants, Servicemen/women & our veterans. It really boils my bile 😠 You're absolutely SPOT ON when you say political party leadership 'contests' are, for the most part, an irrelevance to the plight of the rest of us. They ARE a distracting circus performance, as is every PMQs.
    3
  3460. What I love about your presentation is how down to earth you are, it makes me proud of you, you're one of ours... What you say is corroborated by Nomi Prins, who worked for Goldman Sachs and is now an author. In 2009 Bernie Sanders interviewed Nomi Prins. He told her that as a member of the Budget Committee he spoke to a guy called Hank Paulson, a banker who was also in government; he said to Paulson: people were really struggling, losing their jobs, income decreasing and a growing gap between the rich and everyone else. He asked Paulson how he thought the economy was doing. Paulson said it was doing really good. Year after year he heard from the Bush administration that from their point of view the economy was doing fine. He asked Nomi Prins to explain how they could think that, when people were struggling amid a looming financial crisis. She replied, "Because for them it was great, and that's the problem."

  3463. How refreshing to hear someone on social media admitting, 'I just don't know what to do about this'. Nevertheless, an incisive and thought provoking vid. Thank you.

  3466. I looked in our local library service (I live in Suffolk) and there are 10 copies on the shelves across the county, they're all on loan with 20 reservations. So people are aware and obviously interested.
    3
  3467. The expression “super excited” always sets my alarm bells ringing. I have a lot of respect for your output, so I’m trying to suppress my inner cynic and hopefully you will become a loud voice for change. I also hope that you don’t have too many skeletons in your closet that Fleet Street can use to the advantage of the media millionaires. Good luck with it. 😀😬👍
    3
  3468. Thank you, a very succinct and excellent video... "you can do this" 💗💗💗 very well said Gary, and thank you for quoting my idol Tony Benn, he sent me a hand written fax message once, to my place of work, back in the 1990's, replying to my anti-war stance during the ridiculous war in Iraq. I remember he was interviewed on radio 4 and he said "if they were growing carrots in Iraq, nobody would be interested in the place"... He was made out to be a lunatic by the media but he spoke the truth, like you Gary.

  3469. Iv got the book on pre-order. Looking forward to it mate.

  3470. You're not wrong. While I think there's flaws in their logic, I think for most graduates they generally want a happy and comfortable life, so they want opportunity and a well paying job, which brings them to London. For those of us who grew up in or near London, we're keenly aware of the millions of professional jobs in central London. Sure, there are good jobs elsewhere but there isn't the same opportunity, or the impression of it at least. And there is something to [that impression]. That said, I'm not fully convinced by this vision of London people have. With increased living costs in London (I'm looking at you, mortgages, in particular), I don't think salaries often compensate proportionally for that. I hope though, that with the rise of remote working that this can change. One day I might be able to afford to live comfortably in London, but in the near future it's not viable. I don't have £100k stuck between my couch cushions for a mortgage. So I'll look to buy a flat in the East Midlands at least in the shorter term. I think living outside of London, and even its commuter belt, is underrated and more people should consider it

  3473. Truly enjoy your factual insight, moreover your "real" life/concern for something bigger. Thank you from across the pond, Austin, TX. Just a follow-up thought about immigration, America would collapse without legal/illegal immigrants. On legal immigrants, the way they are abused is worrying for the "illegal". Hope you run with the channel, but your world is your world. Stay safe.

  3486. Listened to the entire book on release day. It's amazing and funnier at times than i expected. But also incredibly moving to go on this journey with you. Some of the stuff with you and Harry was particularly moving. I can hear the cost to you, and others will too.

  3487. Really great videos Gary. Would love to hear you talk more about party political movements and what they can do to dismantle the system

  3498. Well done Gary, I’m off up town right now to buy your book. Richly deserved success.

  3499. Loved that final point about lab-grown meat. Keep up the good work!

  3500. Hi Gary, just found your channel via a LBC James O'Brian interview leading to this post on youtube. Excellent stuff mate, very illuminating and I believe so on point. May I humbly suggest you join the Reform UK party and get an interview with Richard Tice, Ben Habib or Nigel Farage. I imagine if you did, both yourself and Reform U.K would be the end of the LIBLABCON stranglehold on the country and the chance to enact your philosophy's on the bigger stage. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future content, thank you.

  3501. keep going gary, well done

  3505. This is amazing... Hi Mr Burke!
    3
  3506. Gary, Gary, Gary, I've been devouring your podcast, because you speak with such clarity, experience and knowledge... But one thing I was unclear about was this whole notion of oligarchy and the mass accrument of wealth and assesses... NO I GET IT! Looking at America an Elon musk, I get it... It is truely, frightening, devastating and clear... That what you have been highlighting in your podcast is being enacted in broad day light.... You, unfortunately are spot on, you are like a modern day sage who see the future in economic and social inequality... Now I understand why you were the trader you were/are! Thank you for the time and effort you put into the work you do on social media, it is indeed, in my opinion, one of the most important information outlets there is. I hope you and everyone that knows you have a peaceful and happy yule time and new year. Your a good man

  3507. Great channel Gary. So while we have the rich in parliament, nothing will change, they have no interest to tax themselves more. 🤔
    3
  3508. Not only is the bulk of this money "sitting in the accounts of the richest people in the country" - but this is at a time where interest rates on SAVINGS have risen substantially! THAT is why the rich are laughing. It's a nice little earner at the right time for them. When we go into the next economic cycle - as ALWAYS happens - they will then have more money to throw at housing which struggling homeowners will be selling - and the more sales on the go the more downward pressure on prices. So the rich stand to have more money to throw at real estate whose price is falling. That's known in the trade as a WIN WIN! (And just think - if 'normal' people had actually had that £14,000 or so for the past two years, then at five percent they would have earned £1,400 interest on top - almost enough for a couple of months winter heating bills eh???) But sadly, as Gary says, the money actually went SOMEWHERE else.......................................................

  3509. Love your book Gary!

  3510. Thanks for sharing this. You gotta start from somewhere I guess. I just wish I found your content earlier, as this video was streamed 2020. Anyways, keep up the great work!
    3
  3511. Just read your book in 2 days straight. Loved it! Well done you. I am now going to pass it to a close relative who is ex-LSE and loves Japan!
    3
  3512. I love this video, and how you explain it, but could I please request for no background music? It's hard to follow and also being distracted by the background music !!
    3
  3513. Wow. Frighteningly accurate analysis.
    3
  3514. If you look at the level of Gary's head compared to the backdrop of this video, you can clearly see he is bigger than the City and a mile taller than Westminster.
    3
  3515. Love this... Such a great video!
    3
  3516. Cycling in Japan is great! I've seen Chris Broad do that about 5 years ago in a series called Journey Across Japan. The countryside is so beautiful, I've been to Japan twice and plan to go next year to the tohoku region
    3
  3517. This is such a good explainer video, thank you! The fact that family homes can be acquired, and accumulated and in some countries like where I am (Australia) is even encouraged via tax incentives (negative gearing, capital gains) is absolutely bonkers. Trading a human need such as housing like any other investment will always screw over those that just need a place to live. I hope more people share and see this video, it really is a great explainer of the situation we all find ourselves in.
    3
  3518. WOW - I’ve sat and watched you many times Gary but I found that truly, deeply, profoundly moving and I can only hope that enough people can draw a little of your power and strength from the energy you give to this to help them make a small difference too. Yes, it requires MASSIVE and undoubtedly difficult change that will encounter powerful push back, but today it felt like you planted an important seed that can grow into something beautiful and powerful, bit by bit, person my person, gradually building the hope and passion that we need to brush aside cynicism and greed, doubters and haters and together try to make a real difference. I’m not a religious person (never have been), but bless you Gary. The World is a better place for people like you - Hope that journey and well deserved break recharges and refuels you for the journey ahead 🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏿

  3519. Brilliant explanation Gary x

  3522. Hey Gary, haven't watched the video yet, but finished your book. Just wanted to say thanks, it was an awesome and somewhat addictive read. Gave me lots to think about regarding my life choices. Inequality here in Brazil is insane and interest rates have been kept (really) high for ages, I'd love to get your perspective on our future and what we can do to change it. Cheers, mate!

  3529. I just sat down and watched 2 ladys from the so called big partys totaly agree with each other against that very clever young man like i have always seen this happen over decades by both those partys im 67 now and both those partys regularly stuff the economy of the uk year on year and when a general election comes along its not those partys that pays the biggest price it the hard working brittish public that pays the most in the end throu tax we working class people need to stop voting for both off them evry time one of them f***cks up we need to give other partys a chance to see what thay can do for hard working men & women in this country yes starmer was right when he said its time for change in this country but not his change its time for us to make that big change tge great brittish public lets put both those partys out to pasture for some time to come or for ever and lets all move on to a brighter better fyture for us all our children our pentioners and iur public sector workers in this broken & busted uk 😊😊😊😊

  3530. I am an established artist about to restart my economics degree. When I am done I am on board with everything you're saying. Rationality in politics would be revolutionary
    3
  3531. Thank you for clarifying the difference between income and wealth inequality. It demonstrated the importance of economic education. It helped clarify why I was so incensed by Tim Hartford’s Radio 4 programme Understand: The Economy on inequality. The entire programme focussed on income inequality. By this means he magicked away the growth in inequality since the 1980s. At one point he said “Next time you hear anyone COMPLAINING(my caps) about wealth inequality you’ll know to ask them which measure they’re using and you’ll be able TO CALL THEM OUT.(my caps) For what it’s worth I wrote to feedback to complain. Keep up your fantastic work. So important.

  3539. A question on housing price. If the money only goes to the super rich, it should only be the luxury housing that receive strong growth in price. Why houses in the lower price range (1-2m) also increased by double digit in the crisis, is it purely due to low interest rate and people’s fear of inflation.

  3540. Love you, tbh x❤

  3541. Thank you Gary for some clarity & good sound economic sense It’s inequality, stupid!!

  3542. It's my experience that you can't rely on academics to solve practical problems-ever. They are just too far down the rabbit hole, like politicians they don't live in the real world- which is why when Billy told you to ask your Mum ask the corner shop ask your friends what the economy is like, hit the nail on the head. It comes from pretending economics is a science, it isn't, the maths used in economics IS a science but takes no account of real life, when you add real life it is no longer a science in which problems can be solved in a repeatable way. Exactly right, people don't spend money because they don't have it, when things LOOKED a little better before the financial crisis, because people were spending money because they had borrowed it at low rates-it was a bubble that wasn't will it burst, but WHEN will it burst.

  3543. Thanks Gary, I've shared and urged everyone to watch this

  3544. Keep doing what your doing

  3545. Awesome work as usual

  3546. Spitting the truth....Thank you....to be honest, i am very annoyed by this realisation .
    3
  3547. Absolutely nailed it. If we had a true democracy, people from all economic backgrounds would be running things in government. We often hear about fulfilling 'diversity' targets - but what about 'economic diversity'? Case in point - current labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has a net worth of approximately £7.7 million. - I bet he thinks he's not rich compared to Rishi Sunak's net worth of approx £730 million... Politics is just a posh boys club!

  3549. I'll start by saying thank you! I'm an American and to me, the UK and US are riding in the same boat. For the most part, we have and are going to have the same major issues while dealing with late stage capitalism. The issue with the news, not just economic news but all news, is they are owned by the corporations. They push thier agenda using propaganda and sensationalism. All the Boomer generation lives off of it and they are the most likely to vote. Unless we can get them off the proverbial tit, we are going to have to wait for them to be gone before any real change to equality can be accomplished. I hope I'm wrong, but that seems to be the most likely.

  3550. I’m been following Gary for a while now he’s awesome

  3551. Gary, the only thing to do then is to fight for changing the system.

  3552. Great video Gary.

  3553. Thank you for your work.

  3554. Yes. I've owned 4 houses over 25 years, and my last is paid off. This is the only way to build equity, buy low end and affordable and pay off more, build equity and then get a bigger or better home as your deposit grows and you save a lot of interest. You can use your redraw for large purchases like a car, holiday or an emergency without large interest rates. The problem is the banks will lend a huge amount that you can't afford. We went to the bank for a loan of $350k and they offered us up to $1m (Au). They don't want you to pay off more and the cost of living has sky rocketed.

  3555. Your parents must be so proud of you. 🎉

  3556. Thank you for your videos, you really help me understand. Though this is also very depressing 😅

  3557. ,, it is wonderful to meet a real person that is not a phony

  3558. Share these videos ppl, plz help spread the message
    3
  3559. So basically we've had our post war purple patch and now we're heading back to the mean. Great.
    3
  3560.  @garyseconomics  especially when people get seduced to buy or short and then the exchanges limit sales/buys and they got locked in a stock whilst it bombs against them...e.g. BANG stocks. But the institutions could unload with no limits and impunity. "I drink your milkshake!"
    3
  3561. Yes I support you Gary. Yes I did spread the message to a friend. I thought about how to present it and damn it all he got it completely. Don't give up on us Gary. You are right on this one.
    3
  3562. Glad he is repeating himself over and over because that isn't trying to drill it into the morons on either side that don't want to listen, thats for ordinary joe public that is watching, keep going Gary much respect.

  3565. Great explanation. Really easy to understand and to the point. Also your face definitely matches your voice.
    3
  3566. I’ve recently come across your videos and as a keen ‘student’ of economics it’s nice to see someone who can actually explain wealth and inequality to the masses without using words like ‘exogenous shocks’. Also pleased to hear someone referencing Picketty’s excellent book (Capital) which everybody should read.
    3
  3567. Gad, this man is amazing.
    3
  3568. This is brilliant. Yes, we have to keep sharing and talking about it
    3
  3569. Hi Gary. I find words difficult to find to express my thanks for your vlogs here and elsewhere. You are truly a breath of fresh air. I'll be buying your book shortly. Many thanks.
    3
  3570. Most rich people don’t believe in who is really in charge/control and who is the owner of of everything , it’s who makes the sun rise and set every day. The greed of the rich knows no bounds , they literally don’t care if the poor starve to death

  3571. excellent hoodie

  3572. Amazing video until they let in more people from a more diverse background and allow more diverse thinking the same cycle will continue.
    3
  3573. 👍🏾 Thank, You, Gary, for your clarity, it's good to hear, listen and open up the previously non-existent spaces where useful financial / investment education needed to be. I will listen again, until the three examples sink into my conscious brain and I can call up structures by the tips of my fingers. It's great to learn about new and pertinent facts. I'm looking forward to reading your book 05/03/24 -preordered and will be delivered by post. 🌍✊🏽🕊️

  3574. Brilliant, Gary!

  3576. Great conversation. Can't wait to see you appear on Pete Komolafe this Sunday to talk about the impacts of the budget. Please include how this budget will impact the young people. Keep up the great content as always.
    3
  3577. Another great video! Spot on as always...I spent 20 years in the City, and I can't fault a single word.
    3
  3578. Mate appreciate alot what you did on your channel, can you make a video on your thoughts (or prediction) about the new Trump regime and its impact on the world economy? Thanks from an inspired Taiwan fan.
    3
  3579. Hi Gary. Thank you for the absolutely brilliant content! Never have I found anybody who was better at explaining the ever increasing feeling of pressure many of us live with every day, while being force fed some narrative that we can also join wealth club if we're just innovative / hard working / smart enough. Collective economic gaslighting to keep people from seeing that the system is fundamentally unjust.
    3
  3580. Right now gary is my favorite human and he is talking about my favorite word meritocracy.

  3581. Absolutely brilliant 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  3582. Completed your book. Excellent storytelling.
    3
  3583. Just saw your story video on insider. Happy to be here and following
    3
  3584. Saying Gary is one of "them" is an easy, silly thing to say, a quick swipe or jab that people probably take in a moment of frustration or resentment or jealousy. Yes, of course he is "them" in terms of his financial status. But the things he consistently, publicly advocates for are completely and utterly "us". I disagree with him about quite a lot I imagine (not about economics, more when it comes to social policy, which he only addresses tangentially in his work anyway). But even then I'd never reach for the cheap and easy "It's alright for you, you've got it made, you're one of THEM etc".
    3
  3585. Morning Gaz, thanks for your expertise as always.? Keep up the good work fighting for the ordinary man
    3
  3586. This is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
    3
  3587. If we work together then we can change the rules and make things better. They will try to divide us in clever ways, so be calm and ask yourself if they are using a division tactic. If so then ignore it and instead focus on changing the rules to make things better.
    3
  3588. Well deserved break Gary. Have a good time. I learned everything from you. I see more and more talk about this too x
    3
  3589. Something just occurred to me (and I know this is probably socialist), but couldn't you tax the super rich by taking public ownership of a percentage of their assets? Then the profits would return to the public purse. They couldn't take their houses, factories or other assets with them. I don't know, just a thought.
    2
  3590. The FT has just published a hatchet job on you Gary, they’re obviously worried. I’m sure the fact that there’s now a Labour government in power has spurred them on. Anyway, don’t give up.
    2
  3591. @garyseconomics  Oh sorry, mate. I've all this time assumed it was your kitchen without ever thinking about it, but it for some reason looked weird today. 😅
    2
  3592. This is a lecture everyone can learn from. Thank you Gary.
    2
  3593. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for speaking out things nobody else wants to.
    2
  3594. Thank you for all the information I find everything you talk about so interesting and insightful. Love the No Face hoodie! 🙂
    2
  3595. We need to destroy the ideas 💡 that are seen are absolute truths, when infact they are propaganda fed to us . Basically lies . The idea we need GDP growth over all else. That everything works better when it is privatised. It's all bullshit lies. 😒
    2
  3596. Excellent. Simple effective communication ✊🏼
    2
  3597. Fantastic to watch the growth and the success. Long may it continue ❤
    2
  3598. I wonder if there is a political party which promises to tax the rich. If not I would like to be part of one. I totally agree we need to tackle inequality but I also feel that capitalism is the best system.
    2
  3599. just watched your video and feel like clapping!
    2
  3600. Thanks Gary, love the structure ❤
    2
  3601. Welcome back man
    2
  3602. Hang on Gary that’s my line. The inequality crisis. That’s my line. Just to let you know. Just saying. However, keep it up 👍
    2
  3603. this clarifies some misunderstanding of MMT and the creation of (credit+) debt by commercial banks
    2
  3604. Everyone who enjoyed listening to Gary here, I highly recommend to get his book that he read here on Audible which to my surprise he will read the entire thing by himself.
    2
  3605. Got the book today - looking forward to it Gary 👍
    2
  3606. Wow this channel is growing constantly, good for you and all of us! 😄 Also I'm reading your book atm and enjoying it a lot. Thank you for everything you do to get the inequality message out there! 😊

  3607. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

  3609. I’m looking at physical gold whilst I save for a deposit, hoping the markets cool off in the next few years before I’m priced out for good. Or until my parents die. Out of interest, have you heard of Joe Brown or Neil McCoy Ward?
    2
  3610.  @garyseconomics  Thanks so much for your reply (and videos!) I really do appreciate you!
    2
  3611. Keep it up Gary
    2
  3612. Well done Gary. The book is excellent. You left Citi a year before I joined. There are still people on the trade floor who remember you being there.
    2
  3613. In America, in TX, I've always understood the Psyops' political hate/immigration plays this emotion. It's even more disturbing that the ones paying for this initiative are the ones abusing the immigrants. Study after study shows the evolution of what "we," will do - job, as opposed to what someone else will. Immigrants here legally for the season are disturbingly abused, then those that aren't even more so. This covers agriculture, construction, hotel, landscaping, home services and much more - all, that the current generation chooses not to consider. This is a global issue, China included. But every election cycle, those that use it the most sound the alarm, a buzz word, for the right, or? Thanks again.
    2
  3614. Thanks Gary! Amazing speech

  3615. You have a chance if you believe in it :)

  3616. Thank you so much for breaking it down for an a working class 50 year old... Now I need to find a solution. 😢
    2
  3617. stop bending your finger back, it freaks me out. :)
    2
  3618. Gary, I just want to say a simple and heartfelt thank you for all the sharing and knowledge you are sharing with us. I'm learning so much and really appreciate your insights, experiences and your way of talking with us. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
    2
  3619. My pre order has arrived, I can't wait to read it. I am 💯behind you Gary. Please keep the content and progress moving
    2
  3620. I had to walk away. From family and friends… people like me, from myself. I improved my life and finances but now I’m so frustrated that the powers that be are now making it even harder for people working hard. I feel like me and my own family are a stones throw away from the life I walked away from. I was flourishing but now I’m struggling again. God help us.
    2
  3621. Capability in interesting, good work is probably one of the greatest gifts in this life.
    2
  3622. Thanks God Gary is back !!!
    2
  3623. What I admire about you Gary is that you desire to see a better world. Bless you.
    2
  3624. Gary must own a Delorean.
    2
  3625. It's amazing how blown away they act by the most obvious solution. They act like it's impossible, and propose solutions that make life more difficult for the average citizen. They have assimilated their economic ideology like it's a religious cult. The funny part is, the ideology insists it's just science and math. But the math doesn't add up, and the experiment always results in failure.
    2
  3626. why did this not get mentioned even once during the election?😭
    2
  3627. Great video. THere's just one aspect I don't quite understand. During the 2008 global economic crisis, governments printed money (like during COVID, albeit less of it). However, there wasn't inflation. Why is it different this time? Is it purely due to the increased scale of QE? Thanks
    2
  3628. Just pre ordered - Lionel

  3629.  @garyseconomics  Don't take it the wrong way Mate, my comment was coming from a place of love. 🙃

  3630. Just got my book in the mail today.
    2
  3631. Hi Gary, thanks for the vids, I heard you on LBC last night. One question if you don't mind. You said last night that the debt from the central bank will never be paid back. If that is the case, why do you think the government are only offering x amount of support? Why don't they offer more if its not being paid back? Which sounds maybe like I'm disagreeing with you, I'm not, just interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Jamie.
    2
  3632. Respect my guy for everything you do for us, look after yourself
    2
  3633. Thank you, Gary! Your work matters!
    2
  3634. You have been mentioned a few times on the modern wisdom podcast by Rory Sutherland. Would love to see you on that!

  3636. Top vid. Thanks.

  3637. Nice one Gary, learned a lot from you
    2
  3638. You're correct. I don't like it at all, BUT I trust your truths and judgements. So thank you 🙏 for this and all your work.
    2
  3639. Thanks Gary for your words of wisdom take care
    2
  3640. Since I've come across Gary, a few years back, seems like a very genuine person, like his integrity, and moral beliefs. Best of luck with the book
    2
  3641. You're a dead set legend Gary, nice work.
    2
  3642. What I'm hearing from this I may be wrong but the only way to come from nothing to money is to be liked by the people with it or to work hard and have some luck
    2
  3643. Thank you I have been searching for this beaut. Xx
    2
  3644. I ordered your book and it just came in. Can’t wait to read it. Thank you for what you’re doing.
    2
  3645. Just finished the audio book. Wow Gary wow. Not only a great story but well told. First book in a long while I just could not stop! I wish you all the success in your new direction and would love to see you involved in the (new) gov in the future! I hope you're in a much happier place now and wish you all the happiness in the future.
    2
  3646. nice spirited away hoodie
    2
  3647. Brilliant. Very moving
    2
  3648. This is like most degrees in Engineering at University level. Unless you go on to research projects, 95% of the calculus, mathematics and other modules simply don't exist or apply in the real world. Indoctrination. It is spot on, Gary. Real world is manipulated and controlled. The years of University and £££££ in loans for what? Perhaps it is all part of the wider agenda
    2
  3649. Thanks so much for insights...the world desperately needs more people like you❤
    2
  3650. I think I might be in love a little bit, thanks for doing what you’re doing ❤️‍🔥💖

  3651. 7:40 Exactly!

  3654. Go get em gary

  3655. Great video bro
    2
  3656. I preordered the Kindle version, will be reading it soon, thanks mate.
    2
  3657. Brilliant well explained I am 62 and just now know what a bloody recession is
    2
  3658. Enjoy the time off, no value in burning out. If I see you on the street I’d appreciate a fist bump, I’m a top 2% earner and can see what’s happening living in London and where my money is going.
    2
  3659. Just finished your book this morning - I loved it so much I've also bought a copy for my son for "essential reading"! Not just informative, the book is deeply personal and hugely entertaining. A must read for anyone even remotely interested in economics, finance and big business.
    2
  3660. Straight here from Full Disclosure with JOB. Big up Gary. Basically what you’re laying out here is a properly progressive taxation system. God only knows why Labour isn’t moving into the space.
    2
  3661. 6:40 - you just nailed it.
    2
  3662. cool hoodie :) also glad that you are voting green ^^
    2
  3663. Top Man, need more like him!
    2
  3664. Go on, Gary. Keep up the great work, mate 👏👏
    2
  3665. Well done brother man. You are humble and extremely caring in all your videos and guest appearances, which is refreshing and as a consumer, heart felt. I only heard about you from the Making Money Podcast, but now subscribed and following your important work, including the investment in the book. Wishing you abundant success and well deserved recognition as a top fella who knows his shit when it comes to economics 👍
    2
  3666. Inequality requires us to believe that we are all selfish chumps. If we were trustworthy and decent, we might start to, oh, I don't know, organize enough to keep the rewards of all that labor.
    2
  3667. Thanks Gary wonderful content and a really great book (The Trading Game) by the way, everyone should read it.. I hope it gets made into a film soon too.
    2
  3668. You are doing a really good job
    2
  3669. This man has a talent for writing, too! 🙂 Got it on Audible and on a long drive yesterday and so wrapped in it I drove past two motorway junctions - a lot longer journey than intended 🚙
    2
  3670. Great work.
    2
  3671. High net asset taxes! You can't hide physical objects easily.
    2
  3672. Gary I love you, that is all
    2
  3673. 30 seconds in and you are already lying to your audience Gary. To claim that this Labour government are "centre" left is worse than ignorant, it's deception. They are further to the left than Trump is to the right
    2
  3674. Ace book😊
    2
  3675. Respect bro. . Very well done
    2
  3676. we love Garys economics
    2
  3677. Hitting the nail right on the head once again Gary! I hope the huddled masses start to listen and some of the political parties take up the mantle soon!
    2
  3678. Shocking i am hearing this now ,and even more shocking that this has not had 20 million veiw s.
    2
  3679. tax the richhhhhh

  3680. It IS a wedge issue. Bye. Unsubscribed.
    2
  3681. The printed money during Covid, my understanding is this also included money for small business grants and loans, Help out to eat out, as well as furlough. Is there any thing else this printed money was used for? Thanks.
    2
  3682. FROM A DUSLEXIC AUTHOR - CONGRATULATIONS...!!! I know how much work goes into writing a book [hint - way more then you think]
    2
  3683. Good video as always.
    2
  3684. It's been great to hear an articulate informed and experienced view. Looking forward to hearing more as time permits. It's about time that the orthodoxy was challenged and it's great that you're putting the tools in people's hands to help promote the idea that there is more than one game in town and challenge those that would have us believe there is only one game in town
    2
  3685. This is a great, easy to understand and clearly explained video - well done for making it. I also believe it is fundamental to learn about money management and how the financial system works from a very young age via the school curriculum, to enable future generations to make smart choices by changing the mindset of the conspicuous consumerist society we live in, to something more rewarding and sustainable. I believe successive generations can lift themselves out of poverty; I was born poor but that DOES NOT mean I have to die poor - I also do not need to become the next Jeff Bezos but through education and utilising existing resources, the cycle can be broken.
    2
  3686. Truth bombs, good show.😊
    2
  3687. Thanks Gary, I appraciate you doing this
    2
  3688. did you read this message?😀
    2
  3689. Absolutely amazing video thank you Gary for talking complete sense in a world that is currently full of craziness! More people need to see your videos.

  3690. You're doing God's work Gary 🤜🤛

  3692. I don’t usually buy paper books but I did this time .. enjoying the first part .. exciting and love the humour .. now back to leaning to eat raw chicken with chopsticks 😂
    2
  3693. On the point of you finding making videos difficult, and taking a break a way to find the channel is still growing- I have literally just found your channel this week through your interview(s) on Novara media. I have found your videos and those interviews to be incredibly insightful and you are genuinely doing a great job with it. I was always strongly in favour of redesigning tax laws, but I didn't fully understand the situation in detail - we all talk about how many Fredos the average wage are able to buy as the years go on. Your videos have helped to clarify this.
    2
  3694. Great content
    2
  3695. welcome back, i missed your videos. Thanks for your insights. Eye opening stuff.

  3696. Fantastic video Gary

  3700. Is this Brian Harvey's love child ?
    2
  3701. I myself come from a poor family and watched this video with teary eyes. Poor kids know how hard and expensive it is, to be poor. Although I did not chose finance to better myself I was able to turn my life around due to a good education and a following a high paying job which I recently left. What I do not understand is, how it was possible for you - mentally and emotionally - to do this work in the first place? Everyone knows, even without an economic degree, how people in this field get rich. By exploiting others and the very people one grew up with. Isn’t it a bit rich (in every sense of the word) to first get rich and then decide to go all in for the good fight? Of course staying poor is not an alternative but there is some leeway… it’s easy to walk away with Millions to your name - what’s hard is to chose not to participate because it’s simply wrong.
    2
  3702. as George Carlin said "it's a club and you aren't in it". i think he added a swear word. the problem for most non rich people is that they somehow believe in a deep subconscious way that they are actually fully paid up member's of the club. it's like thinking white sharks are nice so you have no problem swimming with them. you my friend are looked at by both the white shark and the .1% as something to be consumed. you don't matter only they matter.

  3707. Finally found someone who thinks like me. You've gained a friend from Saudi Arabia. You have the right mentality and virtue, but the price of this evolved perspective will be loneliness. Not many will understand, and you'll start to wonder if you're speaking a foreign language to them. I hope you maintain your virtue until the very end.
    2
  3708. I guess basically it is a game to them and ordinary people aren't people they are assets to be used and manipulated. That must have been crazy all those meetings supposedly about your welfare when all they really want is to keep you there making them money.

  3709. I turned off BBC and sky news 3 months ago and I've been a lot happier mentally. Some people would say that's hiding from reality and what's happening, but my view is the reality we are being told is untrue or following agenda to divide us!! I only found your channel a few days ago and you speak sense, you said in one video that why would rich politicians want to put a wealth tax that would affect them...how to resolve this?
    2
  3710. A mortgage could also be seen as shorting the currency; you borrow funds today with a promise to repay over time. This is part of why it is usually such a good deal in the long run since currency value usually falls. (as long as the interest rate is decent.)

  3711. damn you didn't send this one to me i feel hurt

  3712. It’s a bit like the water cycle when you think about it. Except that the wealthy (the sea) have stopped evaporation (their tax burden) from happening. Now the rivers are drying up and the government is telling you it’s Covid and the Ukraine war that is causing it.

  3713. Congrats on the growth of the channel, from memory I subbed when you had <70K. Hope you enjoyed Japan 🇯🇵

  3714. Putting someone who knows what they're talking about alongside a bunch of MP's really does show they don't have a clue...

  3715. Thanks Gary

  3716. This is great. Very well explained

  3717. Preordering now 👍

  3718. Admire you greatly for trying to translate these super wicked problems that can be quite complex to the everyday person. Mainstream economics evidently has been sanitised of the political, so understandable you didn't cover inequality at LSE. The geographic unevenness inherent to capitalism you touched on, as you prob well know, are concepts that have long been established by political-economic geographers like David Harvey and Neil Smith. The former is getting up there in age, but would be great if you maybe ever set up a discussion with him.
    2
  3719. Thank god for You….Keep doing what you are doing, I see you!,
    2
  3720. Saw a gaping hole in your character on the Piers Morgan interview, it seems you take from the basic media toolkit which is to spread fear to maximise your profits through attention holding, attention is the new currency and your ego is so huge that it seems to fuel the real motivation for your channel, Other than talking what are you practically putting in place to help "Your people"? you were very disappointing in that interview, I lost my respect for your message, you're just another fearmonger (from a former Ilford boy)
    2
  3721. Just 2 words: BANG ON!
    2
  3722. This is a logically correct presentation. It however goes against the selfish interest inherent in most of us. So the economists make a necessary assumption that proves correct. The only way to prove otherwise is to expect and experience better from the majority of man. Brother you speak the truth. You speak Gospel in every sense of the word and I am willing to be a disciple of such sound philosophy for as long as it is wholesome. Cheers Guru.

  3723. Thank you.

  3724. Therapy through journaling. Good on ya! Not the first, nor the last. Traditional economics has been destroying the world since time immemorial. All deep thinking intelligent people know this and realise it very quickly in their teens or twenties. The expectation for continuous economic growth is clearly not sustainable, but its a very seductive notion. It cannot be stopped. Each new generation dreams up more and more perverted reasons and ways to rape the world. The only solution is to think global and act local. E. F. Schumacher and Eric Hoffer are good places to start...
    2
  3725. aw man how fustrating, you did good :)
    2
  3726. Great video. You mentioned devoting some energy to watch these videos. I would like to suggest you do the same to read "Road to Wigan Pier" from Orwell. It is proof that living standards can get worse and british will not do anything. Also contains some gems like productivity being multiplied by technology. P.S. If you enjoyed the above book and want a full in-depth on the anglo spirit and their inherent passivity/docility, check "The Lion and the Unicorn" (also written by Orwell)

  3727. "Hopefully you will be too"

  3728. Gary's back! and the paperback comes out 30th Jan 😎
    2
  3729. Thank you for the great and inspirational speech Gary. Please do not stop uploading videos. Your efforts work, although not as fast as we all would like to. P.S. If taxing the assets of the mega-rich is so unpopular, can the un-taxing the profits of the working class have similar effect as then relative to the working and middle classes, the super wealthy will be paying back more.
    2
  3730. Love the fact the subliminal message you give by wearing the Spirited Away "No Face" hoodie. A strong and nice silent message.
    2
  3731. Wonderful answer.
    2
  3732. 1. Most people who vote for Farage and Trump are desperate for someone who would speak for them. Farage and Trump lie they would. They take advantage of that very reasonable expectation and of the hope that people put in them. Not everyone can be an expert in politics, economy is complex and difficult to understand. Most people who work 9-5 and have a family to take care of, don't have enough spare time to do a lot of "their own research". So they vote for Farage and Trump because as populists, they're good at self marketing. If you come as the real representatives of the people, they are going to vote for you. I think people are ready for it. 2. You're the best of England, you two. I totally believe in your success. Thank you for what you do.
    2
  3733. No you can't tax the rich. It's just not possible.
    2
  3734. Gary, you're the most famous person from Redbridge (the borough of) Redbridge, I mean. Big up yourself
    2
  3735. I have heard people say so many times, "I do not read." Or "I've never read a book" as if it's some kind of achievement!! Yet one only needs to read a couple of books to understand what Gary is saying... Robert Axelrod's 'The Evolution of Cooperation', published 40 years ago!! Or Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene", published around the same time. The basic idea being that cooperation is better for the human race as a whole than competition. Dawkins talks about "reciprocal altruism" as the way forward for humanity. Unfortunately, my thoughts are that we did not read and understand them forty years ago, why is anyone going to read them now??? If people had, we could have educated two generations by now!!! I wish Gary all the luck in the world.
    2
  3736. Bro called it omg
    2
  3737. I'd not seen that video before, and honestly, the diagram as it appears around 18:00 is the perfect succinct argument for taxing wealth all on its own. "The government gave rich people a shit load of money for no effort on their part, let's get it back". The explanation circles back to it later in the video but it barely even needs it.
    2
  3738. Thank you so much I really understand better how economics works thank you again
    2
  3739. Right on man - fight big finance and free your country
    2
  3740. wow im trippping right now i remember gary the maths prodigy!
    2
  3741. It’s nice to see you back Gary and I wish you a Merry Christmas and awesome to see you back as well❤️👍👊🏻
    2
  3742. People must seriously hate you for blowing the lid off the game
    2
  3743. It’s 1.40 am I finally finished your book. An amazing read, love the honesty. For what it’s worth I am ever more convinced that that the rich need saving from themselves, and that narcissism in all its shapes and forms (driving inequality) will be remembered as a far greater blight than covid 19. Thank you for sharing your story.
    2
  3744.  @garyseconomics  Thanks man. Smashing your vids atm. You're a good man ✊
    2
  3745. Had no idea u had your own channel. Definitely worth a sub
    2
  3746. A week ago I'd never heard of you,just happened to click on one of your 'shorts' as it seemed to align with some of my own thoughts,which then led to finding your channel,and then subscribing,followed by a few hours of going through your videos,then ordering your book. It arrived Tuesday and i finished it yesterday. The message you are delivering,the education you are providing, your message,is way too important not to be heard. We need to ramp up your subs so more people can have access to the knowledge you are freely sharing. How something this important has a little over 150k subs when you see some of the garbage that attracts millions of viewers is beyond me. So,ive decided to take your message and spread as wide as i can,if i can tell 10 people and hopefully direct just 2 of those here,and they can do the same,then (and correct me if I'm wrong cuz you're the math wiz 😂) then with that 20% strike rate,compounded, then my original 2 will generate 62? Now,62 doesn't sound a lot,but.....if 20% of your subs,call it 30000 people,all managed to do the same with the same outcome, then we're talking aboit over 1.8M!!! Anyway, it may well be an optimistic outlook,but,I'm gonna do my bit,why not join in and see where it goes 😊 Gary,love the channel,love the book (think I'm gonna read it again very soon) keep up the good work,what you do is way more important than at least 90% of the crap on YouTube, keep spreading the message and I'll make sure i do my bit. Cheers 👍
    2
  3747. 62 in 5 steps is what I forgot to add 😂
    2
  3748. “I don’t know what that means, to be honest”. It means your neurons are firing faster, mate. There’s no substitute for brains. Difference is when you come from money, you don’t even necessarily need the brains. And so you’re trying to equal the playing field cuz you know damn well how the world operates and that your old mates have a snowball’s chance in hell.
    2
  3749. i'll subscribe to a patreon but the video messages are working as they are bro don't worry about fancy animations to dumb things down for us its a breath of fresh air being spoken to like an adult kids in school appreciate it too

  3750. Getting rich is easy. Just find yourself some rich parents.

  3751. Thank you, “Sir!”😊 I think what you’re doing is great! I love hearing your thoughts about your experience your country and the entire world economy. You’re very inspiring! Thank you! 😎☀️

  3752. Gary is so eloquent maaaan love from Cali

  3753. I left England and now live in France I thought I was escaping the rat race in a way I have but you are so right it reminds me of a Depeche mode tune The grabbing hands grabbe all they can all for them selves after all it's a competitive world There is no escape you have to stand your ground and fight

  3754. Yes

  3757. Amazing Gary! As always.

  3760. Thanks Gary another great video

  3761. Thank you
    2
  3762. Please keep informing us on the real economy. You're really putting us wise.
    2
  3763. First political video I've watched in months. Been to sick to take that on..despite being sick I still want to turn my situation around! Also First time you've popped up on my feed.
    2
  3764. I have that feeling that you are talking too much but not saying much 😅
    2
  3765. love this but the title of the video said how to live in a collapsing economy, which wasn't covered
    2
  3766. Bump!

  3767. WEALTH TAX - they buy btc to hide - juice my portfolio. love it

  3768. I'm buying this lads book 📙
    2
  3769. Firstly please don’t stop trying to bring about the essential changes necessary that will improve the lives of millions. The fight for change is unfortunately huge as you’re up against a corrupt political democratic system that the elites, large corporations and corporate media that have manipulated to only benefit the current status quo. Equally unfortunate is the large percentage of the public that’s disengaged, misinformed by propaganda or distrustful of everything. It’s exactly the same in all anglocentric countries and I’m unsure how you counter such a well entrenched system other than some having some huge implosion.
    2
  3770. Gary you should be an Oxbridge don.
    2
  3771. I don't have much of a platform atm... but I'm kind of willing to work towards it just to promote this channel.
    2
  3772. Nice to see you back in harness Gary
    2
  3773. You're kinda like a Robin Hood for knowledge... Learn from the rich to teach the poor!
    2
  3774. Guys, you should stop playing trading games if you want to change anything. Teaching other people how to trade will make inequality even worse. Isn't this self-evident??
    2
  3775.  @garyseconomics  definitely will mate, I worked in and still do a trading investment house…I wasn’t a trader but there is something in the alienation the industry brings out in us. Keep up the good work!
    2
  3776. Thank you for helping me better understand how money, economics and thus power operates and how until we have a radical change things will get worse and worse for most of the world's population. A light bulb went on for me when you said we still have a feudal tax system in the UK.
    2
  3777. Just purchased. Look forward to reading it.
    2
  3778. God those bangers on "levelling up" are so good, I can't stop listening to them
    2
  3779. Great analysis !
    2
  3780. best video by far and very illuminating. vive la revolution. subscribed.
    2
  3781. Hi Gary, thank you for all you do. I work in colleges in East London and Essex and it saddens me to see the way we all get manipulated and I try to motivate very challenging and deprived lads to learn a trade so they can start on the property ladder but it all seems a waste of time when I agree and am inspired by your channel to know about the truth behind inequality.
    2
  3782. Anger is very useful, but it needs to be kept under control- if you get really angry you can't see the situation properly, I know this from personal experience. Great video, as ever Gary.
    2
  3783. Love your hoodie and I’m really happy you’re back. I was wondering when I would see you here again
    2
  3784. came here after seeing you on TyskysSour. A comment for the algorithm, cause the effort you're putting in and the message mean your videos deserve way more views. Keep up the good fight!
    2
  3785. Another great video. Its a shame your position doesn’t get more exposure from the (financially illiterate) mainstream media
    2
  3786. I'm a right wing conservative and I still applaud the genuine passion in this video. Also I still support his message and vision.
    2
  3787. "to be poor and want to be rich is a walking away it is a walking away from the friends you grew up with it is a walking away from the people like you" That quote about walking away from poverty hits home. Growing up poor with minimum wage parents, and now working as an R&D electronics engineer, I feel stuck between worlds. I don't quite fit in with my professional colleagues, but factory workers don't see me as one of them anymore either - even though that's where I feel I belong.
    2
  3788. unsubscribed
    2
  3789. 2 years later and Gary is looking more and more correct with his analysis.
    2
  3790. Superb Analysis Gary. I'll try and sum it up: Before Covid the Super Rich spend money on luxury goods and services so some of this money goes to the workers in the form of wages. The workers then pay their rent, bills and buy essentials. So the workers money goes back to the Super Rich as they own property, supermarkets etc. So we have a circular thing going on between the Super Rich and the workers. But... When covid struck the rich stopped buying luxury goods and services, so the government stepped in and paid furlough to the workers who then had to pay their rent, bills, food etc as usual, so the money they got from the government goes back to the Super Rich. So the Super Rich accumulated vast amounts of capital during Covid. What are they going to do with that money? They are going to buy assets in the form of houses and shares. So Gary using this analysis made bets on the house price and stock market continuing to rise during Covid, while most pundits were saying the opposite. Gary made some money with his awesome analysis of the situation!
    2
  3791. Gary, stop being such an anti-growth pessimist. Just because Trickledown Economics aka giving everyone's money to the rich has never worked at any point in history EVER doesn't mean it won't work this time. Just keep buying that lottery ticket and one day it could be you!!
    2
  3792. Shared on Meta lol

  3793. Missed you Gary. Things are pretty bad here in New Zealand under this current Government. Glad your back.
    2
  3794. 🍻 Gary Okay it's a score draw today mate 😂😂 . I didn't know that inflation coming down doesn't = prices coming down - Makes sense when ya hear it 👍🏻 . I get that the average yearly inflation figure will naturally reduce once the peaks fall off the yearly chart but I didn't know that was how they presented the data. Am I being cynical in assuming that these two pearls are the reason for government delays in pay settlements - Unions asking for inflation matching pay agreements will lose public support when they're offered 'inflation matching' pay deals that DON'T match the reality of ACTUAL inflation 😕

  3802. Welcome to MY show where I'll use people's interests and fears to talk about me and how I did so well but now I'm a really good guy so listen to me. MEEEE (Oh and I also have a book to sell)

  3803. If we fight we might lose, but if we don't fight then we'll definitely lose.

  3804. Best of luck , with your education plan. "The easiest thing in the world , is for a politician to fool people. The hardest thing in the world, is to get those people to accept , they have been made a fool of".
    2
  3805. Thank you
    2
  3806. Gary, excellent analysis on this and all your topics. I too can't see a solution to inequality. There won't be a revolution. Divide and Rule, Juvenal's Bread and Circuses, the Right seems to have it sewn up. Tony Benn said that the fight is never won, you have to keep fighting. All we have is hope, and people like you, George Monbiot, Owe Jones, Noam Chomsky etc etc. but there's a limited platform.
    2
  3807. Does this include financial assets (Stock Price inflation)? I am thinking that the answer is yes.
    2
  3808. I hope you are voicing an audio book for those of us stuck driving all the time.

  3809. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas, while uber rich Tory donors keep paying, Tory policy will continue to hammer the working poor.
    2
  3810. This is an incredible life; a powerful story; and rather depressing; but I admire you and thank you for fighting the good fight. Eventually “the people” will rise up and change the system. History tells us this. It has happened over and over again. Usually things get really really bad and desperate first, and then there is a revolution that overthrows the system, and things get even worse, and then slowly a new society and economy is built, and things get better.
    2
  3811. Cheers for doing what I assume was a lot of hand signatures had no idea my copy would be signed, nice touch
    2
  3812. Just started following you. Love your content.
    2
  3813. Another clear and succinct explanation of what we think we should know about the economy, but don't really. Thank you Gary.
    2
  3814. you say what i think but you got good words for it
    2
  3815. your absolutely correct Gary spot on!!
    2
  3816. Big fan of yours. I love how you feel a responsibility to help. The game is stacked against the little guy no doubt, but the little guy has a responsibility to get educated in the game. HELP educate. Thsts it! Get your patreon up and watch the help you need come rushing in. Keep fighting the good fight Gary.
    2
  3817. Money + credit = debt
    2
  3818. Only after 65 years have I realised that my attitude to money has been confirmed by you as being factual Gary. I really think if young entrepreneurs were aware of this, they wouldn’t be so hesitant in starting a business.
    2
  3819. Another banger from Gary
    2
  3820. A heads up for anyone who hasn’t got Gary’s book yet. It’s half price in WHS, don’t know how long for but a good time to pick it up.
    2
  3821. Our copy turned up today, really looking forward to reading it!
    2
  3822. Thank God you're back! Was getting worried. You are needed now more than ever! Happy New Year Gary and team!
    2
  3823. Maybe your best video so far Gary 🤔
    2
  3824. I bet the idea of No-face is a powerful thing when you’ve witnessed so much greed first hand . Are we gonna eat the super rich?!💷👑💰🪙
    2
  3825. Are you saying then that the middle class should invest in the things that make the rich rich? Lots of middle class with £100,000 in their savings account, money they’ve inherited or saved, they should be using that to invest in assets or shares in house builders or property companies? Would the inequality be reduced if the middle class made more money?
    2
  3826. Thankyou 👍
    2
  3827. some interviews with controversial/interesting/political people would be good?
    2
  3828. ❤
    2
  3829. Bang on the money again Gary. The problem is with the main political parties funded by the rich they will never do what you rightly say is the answer. A lot of them are looking to line their own pockets in and after office which means looking after the rich
    2
  3830. Happy new year bruvva 🎉👌🔥

  3833. Brilliant video. Commenting for the algorithm cos more people needs to see this. It’s like the ultra rich are playing a game of being invisible 🫥
    2
  3834. Amidst all of the insanity right now, Gary feels like a lighthouse. Here's to hoping we see some material changes soon, or at least that we can start putting some pressure on the people who can make those changes.
    2
  3835. I love that your signature style is honesty.
    2
  3836. Pleased and surprised to see that our local independent bookshop has an entire window dedicated to your book! I am jumping around saying 'it's Gary Stevenson! It's Gary Stevenson!'. Sadly most of my friends are still saying 'who?' (Totnes, UK)
    2
  3837. I've learned all the economics so far from this guy enough to know the government is shafting us. The media aren't talking about it because they're all in on the joke - but you've blown their cover! The problem you have is getting your message to spread till it reaches exponential numbers of people!

  3838. Gary what are the winning lottery numbers!!!

  3844. Travel the world and you will notice that you can`t use crypto for anything. No merchant wants it. You won`t even be able to buy drugs or sex in seedy places. On the other hand in every little dump from Patagonia to Siberia you will find a lot of pawn shops that will gladly take gold and other tangible assets of your hands. This guy is right, you can speculate ang make money with crypto as long as it lasts, but crypto is not money.

  3845. Great video, straight to the point.

  3851. Maybe I am in a bubble, but everything you’ve mentioned is common sense. Poor people lie out of desperation all the time too. It’s just their deceit isn’t as lethal because they don’t have much power. No offense, but your book sounds like a waste of money and paper.

  3852. Is this the same guy who walked around Canary Wharf with Brian Cox? (I think it was Canary Wharf) somewhere in London definitely.

  3860. Already finished it... couldnt stop. Audiobook naration made it better 👌
    2
  3861. Nearly finished the audible version of the book Gary. Was gutted when you mentioned it doesn't count towards the charts 😂cos I'd love to support it any way possible. You're a great narrator - this added another dimension to it. I'm in my mid 30s and very disheartened with the economic situation in the UK. I feel this book is extremely important for people my age. Your brutal honesty is much appreciated as a reader/listener.

  3862. Gary I sincerely hope you do have grandchildren one day.

  3864. Preordered my copy! Thanks again for the hard work Gary
    2
  3865. Mate I could not agree with you more, it's so refreshing to hear a voice arguably from within the financial institution telling it like it is 👍🏻 I've heard some of these ideas elsewhere, and come up with some myself, but it's so incredibly useful to have it all laid out like this and seeing the interactions between everything (like for example the idea about currencies moving in tandem 💡) Keep up the good work and I will promote your channel everywhere that I go 😊
    2
  3866. Hi Gary So glad to see you back & I will order your book from Waterstones. Take care & good luck 😉
    2
  3867. Gary is the real deal. I grew up down the road from him, and had a similar level of career success. But I’m a lot older and have realized that the people in charge, control the rules and won’t allow any change. The system is so properly rigged, that it beggars belief.
    2
  3868. Good to have you back, Gary!
    2
  3869. Loved the Cambridge speech 😊 personal perceptive just perfect-well done on all you have achieved so far. Thanks from a scouser from the Waterstones book tour
    2
  3870. Will you be at the TUC anti-austerity protest in London on the 18th June?
    2
  3871. Keep going Gary and your team your doing us all proud we need your help it’s as simple as that. Ask for help if you need it you’ve got a very intelligent following it might surprise you.

  3872. pre-ordered mine a month ago. :)
    2
  3873. We have the same kettle Gary
    2
  3874. Audible edition please Gary. Many people with dyslexia would be interested in what you have to say.
    2
  3875. I hope you continue to make these videos. Take good care of yourself 🙏
    2
  3876. Was going to thumbs down but forced myself to listen longer (impatient). Agree hold heartily with the content. Drew similar (logical) conclusion previous to watching. It’s how 1% gets richer at everyone else’s expense.
    2
  3877. Please please PLEASE keep talking sense. I’m hoping Trump people listen….finally 🤦🏼‍♀️
    2
  3878. The book is brilliant. Hope you're enjoying the time off
    2
  3879. You are correct, the world is crazy it is actually unbelievable!
    2
  3880. Wow! Train Spotting meets Billions...Interesting. Just subscribed, because Gary put Dave to shame on Piers' show today.
    2
  3881. Another great video!! 👏🏼👏🏼
    2
  3882. Loving the book so far. Great read and a real insight into a world most people cannot begin to imagine. I hope the message continues to grow.
    2
  3883. .

  3884. If only you were Chancellor! Fingers crossed Gary.

  3885. Yeesssssssss!!!!!!!

  3886. Good man

  3887. You can tell bitcoin will fall just by hearing the hysterical, fanatical believers hyperventilating over their new religion anytime anyone points out the glaring inevitable flaws within the very idea of crypto. So many are clueless, arrogant, libertarians with 14 year old boy views on the world. Markets cannot exist without governments and states creating and regulating them, markets cannot exists without functioning societies, societies cannot exist without states creating and regulating them either. Things not ultimately backed by the state will simply, gradually be collected into tiny pools of wealth held by the top 0.01%/0.001% as we see time and time again, at which point the economy and society start collapsing as we see now. Any currency not backed by a state will eventually fail
    2
  3888. Not only inspired by your personal story, but you have such a strong grasp of the issues and the arguments. Keep going!
    2
  3889. They justify their policies by saying they will make the pie 'big' which they say will benefit everyone. While at the same time reducing your slice of the pie, and increasing theirs. The mental gymnastics here are that a high GDP would benefit us all, if we had an equal society, so these guys imagine an equal and fair society when they discuss GDP. But the real reason is you don't want GDP to drop, because those in power will use it as an opportunity to squeeze us further, but that is not an automatic effect, it's the decisions of greedy and wealthy people and institutions. So we're all told to work harder, earn less, to keep profits high for those who would punish us economically if we don't.
    2
  3890. wish you a great time in Asia, hope you recharge and that we see you back again! all the best

  3891. I strongly approve of this Class Traitor
    2
  3892. Really insightful video. I've never viewed capitalism in this way. I've been walking around for a number of years now thinking what is going on. After watching your videos everything is making sense. We need to get your message out there.
    2
  3893. Gary is the first one who helped me understand economics and he speaks the dire truth. We need to get the word out....
    2
  3894. I literally made this same point to my best friend earlier today.
    2
  3895. Welcome back - this is going to be a big year
    2
  3896. Hello Gary,'Just started catching up on your past Videos...what a lovely Mum you have...its obvious she loves you and you are very close...stay humble..just bought your book..started reading yesterday...couldn't stop reading.....Talk Soon, my names Ian.😃☀
    2
  3897. Yup, Gary put them on the spot and they looked stupid, but that’s to be expected. They are not going to admit that what Gary says is the truth. They see themselves as part of the better, privileged class. They represent the upper-middle class who are also the enablers of the rich and rising inequality.
    2
  3898. Gary, yung educated peapole like You are real one's, who needs done more about this. Gets contact others like You, alone person will always to loose.
    2
  3899. Your book is number 5 best selling on Amazon today, congrats @GarysEconomics

  3901. I´m not talking about them, so not everybody is talking about them.
    2
  3902. 100% agree with the super rich being taxed, I’m equally supportive of illegal migrants being screened before entering the UK or any country for that matter for safety reasons. But jeez what an eye opener you are Gary. Always simply wicked for sure.
    2
  3903. good

  3904. Dude amazing analysis.... Doughnut ftw, though you didn't say that I know. I'm all about the doughnut Rayworth is the master at present, the most sustainable economic system there is for the planet.

  3905. This is excellent thank you. Always suspected this but never heard so clearly
    2
  3906. Good advice

  3907. My favourity drug is also.called gary😂, but you are definitely more addictive
    2
  3908. Gary watching Gary "This guy has great analysis!"
    2
  3909. I have to say, seeing Gary from early on and watching the channel grow, to him releasing the hardcover but to see where he’s at now and the size of the message now! Wow! It makes me so proud to have grown up the way I did, and to be able to share these perspectives at Uni, where the vast levels of wealth really become made apparent to you. Keep on growing Gary, you’ve come so far. Don’t stop until you can really say you’ve tried. We’re here with ya 🎉🫡
    2
  3910. Hi Gary, thanks for the great video and analysis as always. I was interested that you said shop prices would increase as a result of the rich spending more. Would it not be the case that the majority of people will be spending less and wouldn’t that lead to a fall in shop prices? Can you expand on this?
    2
  3911. Im glad you're back. I definitely missed your honest videos. 🎉
    2
  3912. I love this channel Im hoping I can get rich by watching your videos or learning from you
    2
  3913. Gary, please, please, please read chapter 8 of the new book by Martin Wolf - it is totally up your street. I would love it if you both did a video together. I agree with what you are saying and I am spreading the word as much as I can, keep going!! ❤
    2
  3914. That would increase the money supply which would increase inflation. They way the economy is structured that new money would flow through the economy and end up in the pockets of the wealthy who are going to hold onto that money. Without taxes that money will causes prices to rise without a corresponding increase in working peoples incomes
    2
  3915. @ You're right, I misspoke. The best someone can say is that people are led to believe that the presupposition of game theory is that everyone is selfish. Or really that anyone is anything. The frustrating thing for me is that who should I learn from about what's true and what isn't? And what about people less critical in thought than me? I want to remain optimistic about the future and believe that creativity will get people out of binds and then hopefully they'll bring along the less fortunate ones with them to return the favour when it's their turn.
    2
  3916. Its funny, Gary. I found your channel just s few days ago. I commented on your piece about inflation. And it started my cogs whirring... I just watched a US youtuber talking about genz "apathy" (and why boomers look down on them). I found myself commenting about the fact it's not a generational issue, its an inequality issue. But mostly it's a political apathy issue. Then I started googling "social and economic justice" and wondering what I could do NOW. And, lo and behold, I discover you've written a book so I guess that will be a good place to start. I like what you say and the way that you say it. If the book really soundslike your voice, I think it will really kickstart something. I wish you every success. PS Im a 63yo man of middle class origin, who has worked in a supermarket for the last 10 years and who will be doing that for the next 5. By which time, I will have qualified as a counsellor so that I can work in to my 80s and avoid horrible heating vs eating choices in old age.

  3921. Bang on as usual Gary. Would you ever consider running for PM? I've never even voted, but i'd 100% vote for you and id make sure all my family and m mates do too
    2
  3922. Predicting the cost of living crisis two years ahead of time, I guess Citibank knew what they were doing when they hired you lol. Seriously though, thankyou for spreading the message you do
    2
  3923. 2years late for me, but totally relevant now
    2
  3924. Glad you are back bro. So many people are struggling and a voice like yours is so important these days.
    2
  3925. I've shied away from financial advice creators for years because of the shame I experienced when I lost $25k in cryptocurrency. There are thousands of others with similar stories. If you have ever lost an eye-watering amount of money, just know you're not alone. You can only assume that prolonged bouts of mental illness change your spending/investing. We will learn from this become better
    2
  3926. I suppose you just have to keep plugging. It's draining when those in power wont listen. But you just have to keep at it.

  3928. Very smart.

  3929. Only just found this. No wonder this country’s screwed. Apart from Gary, what a serious lack of talent. Unfortunately for the rest of us, these numptys are in government!

  3934. Oh Gary!
    2
  3935. Very good ❤
    2
  3936. This is such a low effort video. No explanation of tax rules. The majority of Sunaks assets are companies that employ thousands of people. Just a divisive video.
    2
  3937. Great content. Keep it up brother.
    2
  3938. Greetings from Bulgaria! I've done a phone job trading in a boiler room, also worked for five years in a bank. I agree with you and feel you. Keep doing what you doing good man. One day at a time.
    2
  3939. Here for it. I think you have to be very clear whenever mentioning taxes that you mean on wealth, or risk losing people unnecessarily along the way.
    2
  3940. Thank-you ❤

  3941. Hat!

  3942. on my birthday 😂🎉

  3943. I realise all this is happening but did not understand the critique. What are the mechanisms by which the rich are getting richer? It all sounds like the politics of envy and we need to get away from that mind-set, and that video is not a well-rounded explanation, or even a well-rounded rant that the majority of us can get behind.
    2
  3944. The next video should start with Gary watching this video watching himself on the BBC!
    2
  3945. Halfway through the book on spotify - really enjoying it.
    2
  3946. Thank you for being so clear and helping us think differently!
    2
  3947. Yes, great to see you back. Pre-order complete. Now this is something I am looking forward to reading - cheers Garry
    2
  3948. Thanks for the video, lots to think about
    2
  3949. Wow.. just found your channel.. Chinese new year has just been.. but I can still wish you sunshine every day. Someone to hold you dear. I thought traders just trade, I was wrong, you also care 😅 or maybe you just haven't got enough sociopathic tendency, like not having a conscience 🤪 again, thank youuuuuu for your brilliant mind and this deeply moving talk ❤️

  3954. I lost so much money on crypto. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I told a coworker of mine, who acknowledges he's a gambler, that it felt like gambling even though I had never gambled. He also was into crypto and instantly said it was complete gambling. I look at the experience as a learning experience, a hard one, but one I share with people as a warning.

  3955. +1

  3956. I'm gonna buy this book❤

  3957. Great video.

  3958. I totally agree. Love you.

  3959. YAY! So positive. You are my Beacon of Hope. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND you got another shout out from Rory Stewart on TRIP 28.12.24. 👍
    2
  3960. 4 years on and you were correct. 🙏
    2
  3961. Thanks for another great video. I'll be using some of PIP money next month to buy a copy of your book.
    2
  3962. Well done Gary 🎉
    2
  3963. Absolutely superb analysis. Total eye opener.
    2
  3964. Is the book available on audible?
    2
  3965. I bought the physical book and the audio book and got both in last night; I'm on Chapter 4 right now and love it; The audio book is great because it comes in your voice, Gary, and the inflection on certain words gives us the feeling of what you were experiencing at those times. (p.s. --> Short BURL stock symbol :0-)
    2
  3966. This was very good(love the fast forward - cutting out the snide right wingers comments - shame this 'FFWD' gadget isn't a standard bit of kit on a socialist TV). Gary has a unique insight into fiscal strategy amongst banks and governments etc - and it is refreshing to see him on mainstream TV. What needs to be constantly commented on is how immensley corrupt UK politics is. ALSO - Do Tory voters realize that there is NO Tory Party ? It has transformed over the last 40 years into THE NEO LIBERAL PARTY - a far right ultra capitalist ruthless political movement - gone is any grain of decencey that existed. Reagan not only duped Gorbechov but also the naive and autistic Margret Thatcher. EG:- Reagan talking into Thatcher's ear;- - "Yeah - That's right Maggy, send in the Police on horse back to the Coal Miners demo - bash the Unions, close your car industies and bash the Unions, Privatise Railways, Water, Electric, Gas. Telecom and bash the Unions" - reply - "Is my nose far enough up you arse Ronny". We are now in a very dangerous era politically - as the Ultra right wing NATO has a strangle hold over Europe - and its obsession with weakening Russia. Billionaires are controlling everything and the future looks very bleak.

  3967. Wow I needed this video. You make so much sense. Thank you

  3968. Thank you Gary 😊

  3969. Thank you, Gary.

  3970. That was amazing. I can't believe how everytime you showed and spoke about the facts they changed subject. Hard truths...... WELCOME TO THE HUNGER GAMES EVERYONE!

  3975. Thank you for this video! This is so true!

  3978. Can you make some 'Tax the Rich' T shirts at Primark prices? Anything to get the message out to as many as possible. Have a great day x
    2
  3979. The ONLY solution is to TAX THE RICH!

  3980. Gary, just finished your book ... I hope you are OK and you've found your peace I'm with you in this journey We need to change otherwise as you've identified we're fucked

  3981. Yes Gary ,love the speed past the crap touch

  3982. Great video. I learned a lot!

  3983. "The onlu way to protect ourselves is to learn to engage politically, couldnt agree mre n having looked into it last couple of years know it could be bloody beautiful and help heal more than our hearts n minds. what an honest vid thank you
    2
  3984. Love this!!
    2
  3985. Read your book "The Trading Game" I loved it. Good read, finished it in two days. I like that for you it wasn't about the money but the challenge and being the best. I like the fact that you followed my fifth grade teacher advice. "Stick to your guns".
    2
  3986. Just want to thank Rishi Sunak for the lovely weather we've had this week and for Man United's top four finish. And the best thing about it, Gary, is that he probably did it without spending any money.
    2
  3987. People who have been in close quarters with other people who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder are familiar with the 'say anything you need to in the moment' behavior.
    2
  3988. One year has gone by and sadly your predictions have come true.

  3989. Hope you enjoy your holiday. New subscriber from US. Congratulations on the growth of channel.

    2
  3996. Luv it!!
    2
  3997.  @haydnlawrence8167  You gotta remember that money isn't real assets. If I give you £5, and I give a rich guy £100, and the price goes up by £20, you got poorer even though your bank balance went up. It's the difference between nominal pay and real terms pay. Scale that up to the super rich - when they get more money what do they do with it? They buy assets - like houses, buildings, cars, jewelery. That pushes up the price of those things, because they're happy to pay more for them. You got a few quid more, but the price of everything went up above what you got paid. So even though your bank balance is a bigger number, the rich got richer, prices went up, and you still got poorer because you can buy fewer assets.
    2
  3998. Just finished the audio book of The Trading Game. It's a great story and very hard to put down. Well written (and read) Gary, and great job on the accents!
    2
  3999. I appreciate your message and perspective as ever Gary, but I'm really worried about something. At 05:52 you say we've come out of a crisis - please consider where you got this message from and why it is spread - the pandemic is not over! Not in the UK, not in the world - people are still dying every day when it doesn't have to be this way. This winter it will only get worse at this rate and you may well regret spreading messages like this.
    2
  4000. Will it also be on audible? I feel like this is the type of book my mum would love but she only listens to audiobooks
    2
  4001. Gary is a cyclist! I should have guessed it really....you can cycle your way to clarity of thought.!!
    2
  4002. What a beautiful message. I am poor as shit but now feel so much better about being so! I love your honesty and thank you for not selling us pipedreams. If you're ever passing through Cancun please consider me as your post-flight sport/ deep tissue massage which is something I AM very good at! 🙏🤗

  4003. Thanks for all that you do!!🙏🏾

  4004. You are a good man Gary never forget that, we don't.
    2
  4005. The host was just awful. It’s like putting a lion in with a load of mouthy sheep. Bravo!
    2
  4006. Do you think that to the point made around minute 6, that it’s because US has taught us that we need to be divisive. You’re RIGHT or LEFT and there’s no inbetween. Do you also think that it’s due to the fact that we cannot speak anymore? If you slightly disagree with one point, you can be cancelled or killed career / politically / friendship groups. There’s no room for open debate or conversation anymore. I also find that it’s due to education. Let’s be Frank, most people voted for us to leave the EU due to immigration and the working class people were not given the right pros and cons. Like it or not, they were lied to and we had no one explaining the consequences.

  4007. New subscriber. Thanks for your info 👏 the world is an absolute shit show 😫

  4008. Just a quick comment for support

  4009. Gary.. firstly many thanks for all your work on your channel! And for your clear delivery. (As an ex- teacher in the FE sector of n London I know how important it is to explain things clearly) So you get an "ofstead" outstanding " from me 😂 I just wanted to ask if you do any lectures/meetings / discussion in public outside of your channel. Many thanks and keep going please. R

  4012. Your videos are yet again amazing! Keep up the good fight 😎💎
    2
  4013. Brilliant channel Gary. Putting into simple words how we’re all getting ripped off by the rich and the government. Could you make a video on what would happen if we taxed the super rich and they decided to take their business out of the country?
    2
  4014. Good Luck Mate Great Shout

  4016. Keep it up Gary you're one man can only do so much. Your content is exactly what this country needs. Do what you need to do with the channel and we'll support it cos we don't see any other f*** speak truth and articulate the working class' frustrations like you do 😂 big up east London love bruvva

  4019. I love you Gary!
    2
  4020. The problem I have with this is 100 years ago a crisis like this led to global conflict. You can see it already with the far right emboldened and on the rise. This is the best opportunity they have had for 100 years, and we are handing it to them on a plate because we are not fixing the economy problem, which is inequality. People will vote for anything if they are desperate enough and the great tragedy of our time is we are not fixing this.
    2
  4021. Amount of knowledge in this video .. I love all your videos Gary but keep coming back to this one .. Whenever somebody mentions debt, I try to recite some of the things you mentioned
    2
  4022. Excellent, exposure on where that money has gone. Great job Gary! If the shoe was on other foot they be all over you like a rash ! Threatening You with court cases,!council and government like in my case there’s no fault of my own! Was a admin problem on their side going way back from 2006, still paying them off, from Islington Council. The council had the powers to go into my savings account and withdraw all little saving I had from my account without my permission. How is that right or fair fundamentally corrupt, let’s see them trying to do that to the supper rich!

  4023. I'm just under 24, let's go!

  4028. Gotta laugh at the comments. Lefties claiming that Labour aren't Centre Left but are Centre right, and rightwingers claiming that Labour aren't Centre Left but are instead extreme left. Leftists also claiming that Trump isn't Republican but in fact extreme right, and Republicans claiming that Trump isn't far right but is in fact Centrist and that the Democrats are extreme leftists. Looks like some people can't help fixating on left/right politics and missed the entire point of the video.

  4030. Heard you on LBC only a few days ago, so you just came into my radar. Are you making this your life's work from now on? Are you focusing on other issues or is this the main one?
    2
  4031. I knew something fishy was going on but couldn’t work out why no one was chasing this up, so thank you, thank you, thank you. Voter suppression, media suppression, watch out they will be coming for truth tellers soon. All the best from the bottom of my heart, I hope justice prevails.

  4032. Thank you for excellent information.

  4033. Nearly finished your book Gary, superb book love it mate 👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    2
  4034. Thanks Gary. The swearing works for Gordon Ramsey btw.. and yours cuts through the platitudes of woeful economic governance. Money isn’t everything but it almost is as without it destitution will hijack freedom. The book is a breath of fresh air in a world so full of BS. You have given back soo much through your work. Don’t forget to prioritise yourself. The positive contribution of your book to the world is only just beginning. You are one of the few voices having the right conversations.
    2
  4035. Nice work Gary!
    2
  4036. Have a great break, Gary, and safe journey to Japan and back. Looking forward to more videos once you've had some much needed R & R.
    2
  4037. Best way to educate yourself on a Sunday morning - listen to Gary ! Very well explained, you can see why the mess keeps getting worse. The reason we don't even talk about taxing the rich let alone do it is because.......we are now (at least partly) governed by the rich and also business has, via lobbyists, infiltrated most of the remaining government (and some of the opposition) to protect its own interests. The ONLY solution is to tax EXCESSIVE individual wealth and corporate profits then to re-distribute that money more fairly into support and small businesses.
    2
  4038. Your videos are great thank you 🙏 ❤also thank you for calling out the inequality in this country keep exposing the truth Tax the rich and close the loopholes
    2
  4039. Every time I'm more & more impressed by the way in which everything is explained so clearly! It also angers me that people are not aware of all this information. Hopefully this channel carries on growing with the addition of the patreon kicking into full force. When you talk about increasing taxes in order get these resources back, in what way are these resources taken back. Im all for it however I don't understand what you mean in taking them back?...
    2
  4040. Good video Gary! Cheers.
    2
  4041. U do have a point here!
    2
  4042. love your book gary, cant believe youve got a channel on here. get titsy on here pls.
    2
  4043. Not sure I've heard someone spell it out quite like that. Thanks Gary, that was a good one
    2
  4044. Great channel & a very important, much-needed voice of clarity. I am learning so much from these videos. One caveat on this one though: while I am sure your criticisms of public-facing economists have merit, I wonder if you are exaggerating the acumen of the private-sector ones, many of whom were presumably wrong about sub-prime derivatives when they crashed the banking sector in 2008 & had to be bailed out by the tax-payer. Is it fair to be sceptical about the City in the light of this & similar debacles?
    2
  4045. Happy Holidays!
    2
  4046. Of course we're now seeing evidence of the misuse of Sunak's 400Bn COVID-19 Furlough Scheme & Business Relief Grants. In some cases coming to light unadulterated fraud involved in claiming the the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), Bounce-back Loans (BBLS) and even the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLCILS); and as you rightly highlight this happened as many people found themselves ineligible for this help or even to qualify for UC help during this period.

  4047. does it count if you listen to the audio book on Spotify premium

  4048. Is this a winging channel?

  4049. WOW WHAT BS
    2
  4050. The story here in Canada is extremely similar and your videos have been informative and helpful regardless of the UK context. I regularly send these to friends and family. Please keep doing what you're doing Gary.
    2
  4051. Brilliant
    2
  4052. Gary is back. Can’t wait for the videos and the upcoming book. Have a prosperous year 2024

  4053. this was super depressing but eye opening hopefully we can find a way out of this shitty system
    2
  4054. brilliant analysis, thank you.

  4055. Government debt is private savings ie wealth as you say.

  4058. Book Arrived today! Looking forward to getting into this!

  4059. Will get one of these , will recommend, lend and share away !

  4060. Looking forward to seeing how this grows while remaining humble and true to your values. Martin Lewis is the only other person I can think of who everyday people willingly listen to, but that is only in order to save money on their bills. The real story is why everyday people give their votes and money to people who are fucking them over in broad daylight.
    2
  4061. Great videos. I could listen to you all day. Actually I pretty much have 🤣
    2
  4062. Out of interest, is it possible for any joe on the street to start in trading as a trainee? If they have the drive and hunger for the work, is it possible for them to succeed? What is the general starting salary for these positions?
    2
  4063. Refreshing to hear it spelled out in this way.
    2
  4064. I got a copy of the book yesterday. Having spent my lunch engrossed in itI am having to pace myself, I want it to last at least until the weekend... Knowing only from the videos and interviews Gary has given some of what will be in the book, I am aware it will be a powerful piece of work. Now, having read only the early chapters I can honestly say it's one of the best books I've picked up for instant engagement, and certainly one of the most amusing autobiographies I can remember. I'll comment again after finishing it but I can heartily recommend it to anyone. Read this book.
    2
  4065. Hi. Im nobody from Italy but I am in the same situation as you guys: I know we can't make anything better until we decide as a society to take wealth back from the rich. I recently reached the same conclusion as you guys did in this video, which is that our job needs to be convincing ordinary people. Ive got nothing, unlike yous who at least have YouTube channels, but I'm going to try anyway to build up a network and a team. Good luck to us all Sofia

  4066. :yt: Comment for the algo please, so more people will see this video !! :yt:

  4067. Drug dealers get years while celebrities joke in interviews about their drug escapades. The inequality of this is disgusting 😢
    2
  4068. We need to spread the word! Thankyou Gary for another very informative video. While you have the spotlight on you , tell the world!
    2
  4069. shiiiiiit man that was unreal! Tying it to Camus's Plague really drove the message home. We all have a responsibility to fkin step up and see the wood for the trees. And explain the REAL evidence-based economic reasons for poverty in the UK. People and their families are fkin struggling their tits off for the bare basics working 60hr weeeks plus just to make rent and eat. The bullshit mantras of blaming migrants and oh just work harder just don't fkin cut it anymore, murdoch n all them have been mugging off the masses for time. Solid lecture here GAZZA inspiring stuff, keep up the work boss! I'm deffo buying the book 10/10

  4070. Enjoyed your book. I'm so keen and well off I bought ut in hardback.

  4071. Brother wtf should I do with the money in my savings. With the cost of everything rising I can't help but look at it and think why did I bother saving
    2
  4072. I suspect that the 'stupid hat and stupid accent' comments were tongue in cheek, nevertheless you demolished them axactly as they deserved. Real cool stuff - accent and dress included.
    2
  4073. Love this ♥️♥️♥️

  4074. Gary. I would really like to hear you interview Ha joon chang, the economist

  4076. Gary. What a lovely human. Fairdos, I’ve been a fan for a long time. Thanks for all you do mate ❤
    2
  4077. Hey Gary, i saw one of your Videos for the first time Maybe two weeks ago. Your words, mindset, intelligence is really special! You Are offering Knowledge in a world everybody tries to hide it! You Are truly a good Boy ❤
    2
  4078. This is an excellent video. Your economics theory in the video is spot on. And it's being put to really good use educating people. Sadly the prevailing economic dogma is just making the rich richer and the public poorer. Thank you, hopefully your videos like this will help improve things for the man on the street.
    2
  4079. You nucking failed it - well said bruv.
    2
  4080. Did this feel particularly biased against Gary to anyone else? Like, maybe not in bad faith. Or particularly slimy. But (and it might just be because this edit focuses on Gary in particular) but it did seem like how some of the arguments were framed when presented to Gary, or how his answers were interpreted and summed up after he'd said them. Did kinda seem like they were aiming towards discrediting him. Like trying for that "gotcha moment" Like here's someone who clearly knows the economics, and got rich understanding the economics. "But why didn't you say this before you made money proving it?" Like no...who'd have given a shit if a random 20 year old correctly summed up the economic downfall of the UK. That question makes no sense. But a trader, a successful trader who proved they were right? "Well you should have said sooner about this"

  4081. Compelling

  4082. Growing up in Luton I feel this story very much.

  4083. Watching from Turkey, so I have no stake in this. It takes balls of steel to attempt to move people towards the left in the birth country of capitalism.

  4084. New here. I'm happy to be here. Thank you for your contributions to fighting wealth inequality!
    2
  4085. I often share your videos on twitter to help spread your message.

  4086. Thanks Gary ... for setting the record straight in a world flooded with hucksters and shucksters. Wish you good health and happiness. 🙏
    2
  4087. What’s your thoughts on universal basic income? After reading price of tomorrow by Jeff Booth I think we have no alternative but to introduce it into Society
    2
  4088. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to run all of this with no full time staff in an age where creators have huge teams. We believe in you and more importantly the message you are promoting. Tell us exactly where you need support and this community will help as much as we can!
    2
  4089. I was literally talking about you yesterday, I was wondering where you had gone. Well done for writing a book, I hope this project of yours is extremely successful.
    2
  4090. Sir Thomas More's 'Utopia', as much as it could while still keeping his head, had clear and unflattering commentary about the "idle rich." What's changed since 1516? It is scarce in history that the wealthy willingly sacrifice their privilege for the greater good (noting various prominent revolutions have failed to dislodge this) -- yet we in the 'west' live in circumstances where profits are privitised and losses socialised. Corporate profiteering has increased during a pandemic and and an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign, food-producing nation. Love your sentiment, Gary, but how does this also fit into, and affect, a wider global narrative? Because I think that is key to success in the UK.

  4091. Always thought crypto was investing in something that doesn't exist....

  4092. one of my favourite humans ever.

  4093. I have watched this video three times, fascinating. I am a 86 year old retired professional director for over 50 companies and watch the UK flounder financially compared with Ireland. It seems to me that the UK has to change its corporate tax policies from mere fund raising to balance the books to incentives driven tax policies to encourage investment, and manufacturing especially exports. Profits from exports being taxed at lower rates than services and home market sales. This is what we have done for 60 years here in ireland with remarkable success. David McCabe Dublin January 2025

  4094. Brilliant work, thank you so much for doing this, very important, like you say why on earth is this not talked about more
    2
  4095. Would it not be better if financial security wasn't so dependent on owning an asset and for that asset to always be appreciating in value? It seems unsustainable to me. Funding for universal basic services (inc public owned housing) and wage increases in line with gains in productivity could make it easier to be secure without needing to buy a house, which as you say, is not possible for so many people
    2
  4096. I like your modesty!!!!

  4097. Thank you for your insight, always thought the game was rigged .

  4100. Can’t wait to read it 💪

  4101. Great work Gary - Thank you for all you do. I agree in what you say, we need to educate and spread the word. It’s not an unreasonable question to ask, where is that money now? Please continue - It’s so essential for more and more people to challenge and ask questions. All we’re looking for is truth. Neil M

  4105. So glad to have been introduced to your channel. I also have a background in economics, but am not used to learning about it in the real world, so I find your channel super useful and empowering. Will be in for the long run, best of luck from NYC!!!

  4106. Your book is released tomorrow in Australia (Tuesday 12 March), looking forward to receiving it the first day here from pre-order on Amazon!

  4112. Such a good summary of capitalism and when it works, and what is needed to make it work for us 👍
    2
  4113. If I figured out how to make a lot of money I wouldn't probably do what you are doing and just put my feet up and enjoy life so my respect, you made me realize how things are stuck against me and that it is not all my fault.
    2
  4114. 👑 🙏

  4115. Gary gives me hope, thank you 💕
    2
  4116. It's so frustrating when people like Gary are ignored. At least no one can accuse him of simply using hindsight.
    2
  4117. Get this guy in parliament
    2
  4118. Keep on fighting the good fight Gary
    2
  4119. The crossover episode...Anyways I first knew about Gary from Jimmy. Opened my mind about economics ever since.Great stuff for both guys.
    2
  4120. This is the core of it, there's no left or right there's only more or less taxes on wealth. If we don't do something to break that cycle we'll end up as poor as your great grand parents and in a world that is constantly subjected to unrest.
    2
  4121. Not being rude but what you said about your mates is funny
    2
  4122. Gary i find the information you present as very informative and obviously not only in great Britain but in other countries and in mine Australia the same thing is happening and yes taxation of the rich is one answer as well as a price freeze and a return to the gold standard From the sneaky Swagman Busselton WA
    2
  4123. Fantastic book! Read it word for word. 10/10. Love you too geezer, keep up the great work. My background similar to you, worked in Investment banking for the last 25 years, in Product Control (Accountant), it all your Traders PnL REPORTS daily and looked at the balance sheet and did all your IPV for open positions. Again, love your your channel, top man, amazing knowledge
    2
  4124. Gary, thank you. In this time of hate and division, people need someone to believe in - and what you are saying is inspiring. The right wing are scum, but the left have their snouts in the same trough, and none of them can be trusted. Subscribed a while ago, just bought the book. I also used to work for Citi, lol. Keep fighting the good fight, brother.
    2
  4125. That was inspiring. Honestly on the verge of tears! Keep up the important work.

  4128. That was fucking class !
    2
  4129. You're not failng, Gary. Keep it going. Perhaps explain why/how immigration isn't the problem.
    2
  4130. 100% everything true mate they keep us distracted fighting each other because they know if we focus on the real problem (the elites) we will overpower them. Well done for correctly using your platform mate👏👏👏
    2
  4131. This is a dreadful show. Sounds like a right-wing think tank. Gary is straightforward, rightly correct. This Government created a deliberate complex taxation system. It’s a VIP lane of rancid Cronyism, a club. Only for the super rich. Rancid and corrupt, sadly legal, totally immoral. Gary is to knowledgable and they tried to make light of his serious input. He should be choosing his talk shows more wisely. He is a serious economist. Not a rapacious Rees Mogg type. He should be writing regularly in newspapers and on decent TV briefings with egalitarian and other educated economists. Also on our BBC and others, he needs to be accessible. I first saw him on Owen Jones. I thought he made very interesting points that we could all easily understand.
    2
  4132. Just finished your book, I am not sure if I am more impressed by your 5k PB in Tokyo or your trading on the STIRT desk!

  4133. Thanks, I will go and check it out. (I thought I had watched ALL of your videos!)  @garyseconomics

  4134. Will do mate. I am half way through your book and loving it! It is a great read and a brilliant piece of work. Congratulations!  @garyseconomics

  4135. hey we dont know each other but i hope ur doing well and I wanna say that GOD still loves u and wants u to be with him all u must do is trust in Jesus (dying for our sins on the cross) and repent of ur sins. GOD loves u more than u can imagine.🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊

  4136. I am in love with this man

  4137. 🙏🏽 for your openness, honesty and courage Gary looking forward to all future plans … excited about the opportunity for spreading more ground based economic education … 🌝

  4138. I doubt the tories or the current labour leadership will implement a wealth tax. Neither of them will be getting my vote.
    2
  4139. Gary . . .watching this I became more and more aware that the rest of the "cast" just didn't get your message. I get it (your message) and I see it! In this program you were in a majority of one 😁 !! Tho actually there are (at least) two of us. What's scary is the intellectual, mathematical (comfort from the "I have a statistic for that!!" ) quantifiication that bypasses the "it's going to RatShit", that they must see and experience on a daily basis. Their self reassurance that "they" will be OK, is all! Personal comfort is all. Preparation is all 👍🤨

  4140. You make trading sound about as good a way of making money as betting on horses. Awesome video Gary

  4146. Same old rubbish of privatisation, the narrative of the right wing politicians, media, and the people, good on you Gary
    2
  4147. Gary you are very prophetic in the way you speak. I relate to your story (with the exception that I’m not rich by any means) but I grew up poor in a deprived area of Liverpool and remember the cupboards being empty when I was young and my mum and dad worked hard. I also grew up going to church and my mum would dress me and my sisters in our Sunday best (usually clothes that had been donated) and I loved to go because the biscuits where better then the ones that was in my house. I now live in a home still in the same area in Liverpool with my husband and 2 kids and we have full cupboards and live a humble but comfortable lifestyle. If we wanted we could buy a home in a more affluent area but I have never wanted to without any logical reason except I like where I live. What I have realised listening to this lecture is that I don’t want to loose the community. I still attend the same church and help out when I can. My neighbours put my bin out without being asked when I’m on holiday and send me a text when I’ve left my window open. My dad died 3 years ago of Cancer and he didn’t get the early warning signs checked because the GP was shut because of COVID and by the time the doctors knew he was stage 4 and died 6 weeks after being diagnosed. We weren’t waiting on a huge inheritance and anything that came from his life insurance we signed it all over to my mum. What the super rich don’t realise when they are rubbing there hands together waiting to cash in when they loose a family member is that greed corrupts the mind and the heart. And it’s not really their fault. They were born into this. The Bible says this Mark 10:25 “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”” ‭keep doing the work that your doing Gary. You were blessed with an amazing gift. I will pray for the work you are doing to help the poor people of this country not to be more poor.

  4157. Gary, thank you so much for explaining in terms I can understand, economics.

  4168. Brilliant video by Gary, it really explains how this successive Tory governments have enriched the top few % of society and made everyone else poorer. Destroyed all our public services and the fabric of our society, pauperising millions by stealing from the public purse to give to the corrupt rich few. That is what you get be voting Tory...
    2
  4169. In awe of your speech Gary wow! Like you raised in poverty and that memory has never left me or my partner it’s formed who we are. Friends who were raised in well off families have no clue what it’s like to have to watch every last penny or say no to most things. We’ve made some huge mistakes concerning our money just from lack of education. Have our own business and it’s been a slog at times these last 12yrs especially. I could see the economy didn’t make sense but didn’t have the knowledge or education to really understand why. Your channel has helped us a great deal thank you. Trying to preempt what’s coming with AI makes us scared to say the least but we carry on that’s all we can do. Enjoy your well deserved break in Japan 🙏

  4180. 7:02 She nailed that point. In reality you can be a Millionaire & still be broke! All depends on where you live and it’s Cost of Living. Precisely why many Americans choose to spend their Retirement in Foreign Countries. For the same Cost of Buying an existing House in America,you can purchase land & build a Custom House on it in Foreign Nations!! Same reason why Offshore Accounting is Popular amoungst Capitalists!!! A Gallon of Pasturized Milk costs me around $5 whereas my Great Grand Parent's would've paid less than a Dollar for Raw Milk!!!

  4181. Great video Gary and so true. I guess the 2 dislikes are the 2 guys who lost their gold money lol
    2
  4182. Just bought it on audiobook at Audible 👍
    2
  4183. Miss you gaz, hope you come back soon
    2
  4184. To educate people on how they're being done over time and time again is totally key. So much of the time it's adversarial or confrontational, which just entrenches people and their views. Looking forward to this channel growing.
    2
  4185. Clear, thoughtful and bang on, once again, Sir!
    2
  4186. Big up Gary - top guy

  4187. All I know is I’m having a destitute Xmas and I am going to have a destitute New Year. I’m 50 and forgotten. Next year, things are going to get worse for me!☹️
    2
  4188. Thank you very much Gary. I love your explanations ❤
    2
  4189. Love your no BS approach bro, these things needs saying, keep up the good work 👍
    2
  4190. Gary, please take your message to Tiktok, where you can have virality and more exposure. A book won't get the message out like it needs to be
    2
  4191. Bought 'the trading game' two days ago, nearly finished it already. Really enjoying it! Thanks for taking the risk to tell the story.
    2
  4192. absolutely brilliant content ❤
    2
  4193. Have a great time in Japan Gary! Take care!
    2
  4194. This brilliant guy is to the point. It's time for all workers in the world to get together for 0 tax, why are we giving our sweat and tears to the rich and we get nothing, even at 100k a year, you're still poor.
    2
  4195. Remember that you can't do it on your own. You'll burn out. Find some people who can give you the kind of support you need. Maybe a content team? Maybe work with a Research Institute and let them come up with ideas that support what you're saying? 💚💚💚
    2
  4196. My friend, working class people arent all stupid fuckers. Alot of us are actually intelligent and got dealt a shit hand. We need folks like you to be our voice, and also to share your knowledge. Keep it up, my friend.
    2
  4197. This is so generous. Thank you.
    2
  4198. Thanks for another great video and looking forward to the next. Could it also include why we / economists (you included!) only talk about this on a national level when surely the economy is basically global these days? Ie all the things you describe apply just as much, if not more so across the world, than within the UK. My guess is that many people of the world feel like the poorer people of the UK x10 or x100 and see all of the people in the UK and other wealthy countries as the ‘Super Rich’? Is it this inequality that is driving migration and other global and multicultural tensions?? You make a good argument to reduce inequality in the UK but isn’t it just as or even more important to do the same globally? I read that the mean average wealth in the UK is about £200k, which sounded great until I realised it includes your house and pension pot and globally more like £50k. All of a sudden I feel like I don’t want equality, I want to be rich!?
    2
  4199. 🎉 hey Gary 👍 you’re all right- you know 😜 Peace be with you
    2
  4200. Great video keep them coming. When I talk to people about this they treat me like a flat earther.
    2
  4201. Well done for keeping things real,and not like so many opportunistic Youtubers making fortunes from selling a recipe for a pipe dream to the less fortunate.........There are always people who make breakthroughs in certain areas/circumstances but realistically it cant be documented and repeated to the same effect so all can benefit,thats what the system does its like having a safe with a rolling entrance code,you think you have it sussed but the combination has changed 😢

  4202. This guy looks like Lucas from One Tree Hill lol

  4203. beep beep beep beep lol

  4204. This is why I will never have too many children! Rather I would adopt or foster and get support from the government. People with 3/4 children need to think twice. Because the cost of raising a child, in 5 years time will be insane.
    2
  4205. If you are rich, why don't you look rich? 😉 I agree totally with you.
    2
  4206. I'm new to this channel, its very intresting and thought provoking.Will stay tuned.
    2
  4207. Support this. Feels like a veil being lifted

  4210. Great video/ content I am white British my closest friends are Indian and Sikh they were the only ones that backed me and believed in me when the shit hit the fan for me , I live in a very diverse area and have never had an issue with immigrants locally if anything the complete opposite ,, The rich have always used divide and conquer as a strategy so what they are doing is nothing new in my eyes. Together we are strong divided we are weak.. Thanks for your vids I have them on in the background while I watch the futures markets been really helpful for me as a technical non macro trader.. have a great week
    2
  4211. Going back another video to say Vote Gary for mayor of London
    2
  4212. This channel is a true blessing. So much great information on here that the wanks would never give us ! Aside from the stupid beanie, keep it up Gary !!
    2
  4213. This guy can never answer a direct question or topic but always finds a way to pivot and talk about himself.
    2
  4214. Honestly, couldnt put it down. It was fantastic. Bought loads of green euro dollars. Jk jk
    2
  4215. The media are supine, and the BBC acts like the voice of government. I wouldn't expect them to give the honest report given here by Gary Stevenson.
    2
  4216. Epic talk, thanks Gary. Currently reading your book, in a weird way the authenticity of it and how relatable your life is to mine even as a guy all the way from the other side of the world in Cape Town is admirable. Love the message, completely onboard.
    2
  4217. Brilliant job. Such a necessary message that needs spreading. Keep it up mate. You definitely inspired me to give a hand and work for equality.
    2
  4218. UK NEED GOOD SINCERE INTELLIGENT POLITICIANS THAT CARE ABOUT EVRRYONE - YOU! GREAT CHANNEL THANKYOU. 👍👏👏👏

  4219. Garry you're a legend for what you're doing ! I 100÷ agree we need to trickle down the right knowledge and increase reach. ✌🏼From 🇳🇱
    2
  4220. "it is scary" but we got you man👌
    2
  4221. We'll get there mate. One day.
    2
  4222. Found you via Novara Media. Great interviews. Subscribed!
    2
  4223. What a lovely compassionate man. He speaks the truth. We are divided by the media to see each other as competitors. Whilst it's the rentier class that creates division t6 maintain profits
    2
  4224. Thanks Gary, just bought the book in audio 👍
    2
  4225. Brilliant, welcome back. I watched this and experienced what I think I recall as hope.
    2
  4226. You let yourself down badly on Piers Morgan. Behaving weirdly (were you on coke ???!!!), sullenly, dressing intentionally inappropriately for the occasion, throwing a pen, and conpletly failing to engage in discussion, merely in ranting. Didnt do your cause any favours
    2
  4227. Great video the media and government are pushing division.
    2
  4228. I’d love some financial advice from someone who doesn’t bs. You clearly are very very clever when it comes to economics and you explain it in plain English. Well done on these videos. Love them.
    2
  4229. Bangin' job G. They were squirming!
    2
  4230. we love you, yes we do and we hope you love us too. we can change our systems for our benefit. intervene in oligarchs plans.
    2
  4231. Looking forward to Q&A in MCR.
    2
  4232. That was like putting up some shop assistants against an economist. Which it was.
    2
  4233. Btw I think you should use the Roman Abramovich 'taxing' analogy more often.
    2
  4234. Got my signed copy (and with a small coffee stain) this weekend. Just finished it - incredibly gripping, educational and a little heartbreaking too (Wizard). Passing it on to my sons now. Thank you Gary, for sharing your story and for building this movement.
    2
  4235. Ill get the book, and also thanks for all of your insights on your channel.
    2
  4236. Cheers Gary just subbed look forward to reading your book definitely on the Xmas list
    2
  4237. I dont know anything about ecomonics or money in general, but I start to learn something new everytime I watch a new video of yours. Thanks Gary! Greetings from a poor swede.

  4238. Rgds from BKK we see the future

  4239. I just kept thinking of Boris that barefaced liar. It certainly explains his behaviour.
    2
  4240. I'll vote for this man
    2
  4241. Gary is a fucking G! Thanks for all your content, you’re a good man!
    2
  4242. The absence was way too long 😢

  4243. Great video.

  4244. Hi Gary, amazing content! I love how leftist ideas are made more accessible to the average Joe. In the past 50 years socialism and communism have been demonized by capitalist society without really been given any other reason apart from "there is no freedom of speech", but people forget that Scandinavian countries are also ran, quite successfully on a socialist model with proportionate taxes and fines - if you get caught speeding in your Mazda you pay off times less than the guy reving his Lambo. Being a foreigner in the UK who moved here in their mid 20s (currently in the late) , I also come from a poor background and have an economic education from a post-communist state - Bulgaria. The early 90s there were a period of privatization and the exact thing you are talking about happened - wealth concentrated in the hands of a few individuals who bought government-owned factories, buildings, facilities for pocket change and are currently trying to buy out normal people out of their residential properties through actively advertising "hassle free" property sales below fair market value. The reason why people in Bulgaria manage to survive with a minimum income of about 400 GBP monthly is that the rate of homeownership in Bulgaria is very high (normal characteristic of Eastern European countries) - Upwards of 85%, about 20% higher than the UK. Owning multiple properties as well as farm land or forests is not uncommon for average people there including myself. The tricky part is very little of that property is lucrative and can generate any passive income - but it creates the most important aspect of wealth - a mortgage-free / debt free life. Although practically impossible to build a massive wealth now, there are still ways of becoming wealthy for average people, so I hope whoever takes the time to read this doesn't lose hope :) Eliminate debt (paying into someone elses wealth) and compound returns (generate your own wealth). Takes a while - but eventually works, and works quicker for people that can get creative with acquiring money. Best of luck everyone!
    2
  4245. Gary's words from minute 9 (The thing you did wrong is have the wrong parents and you Should not of done that and the only way to do it is to have rich parents)  (And it is  almost impossible to get rich) Gary respect you given me a belly lath today watching this video, and you will inspire so many watching you. After watching you they will find more gears to get on as the bigest laughable statements I have seen in years.😂
    2
  4246. Great news and great work!
    2
  4247. Hi Gary, we need more Garys in this world.
    2
  4248. Thank you, Gary.
    2
  4249. Have been following you and listening closely since I first heard of you during the pandemic. Your message is reminiscent of that of Michael C Ruppert, who saw the 2008 crash coming and tried warning people a few years prior. A message I didn't see until the release of his 2009 documentary: Collapse. I did however personally feel the impact of that crash when I lost everything! I'll share this video now and will continue to support, like & share your content because a candid and simple outlook on this situation is essential in my eyes. I wish I had the energy to do more to help, sadly I have struggled with serious mental health issues the last 15 years which have stripped me of any belief in myself or drive to do anything. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼
    2
  4250. 100 percent behind you bro. Keep up the good work xx
    2
  4251. I would like to say thank you for your sense and I would like to see you have a discussion with Micheal Moore.
    2
  4252. i am praying you keep getting blessed by the algorithm

  4253. You're a genius Gary

  4254. Why hasn't this had a Billion views !!!
    2
  4255. How to get rich? But a red woolly hat and wear it in the kitchen
    2
  4256. I thought this was going to be another yawn shitty finance video, glad to be wrong.
    2
  4257. Thanks again for excellent video.
    2
  4258. People don't want to take the shots because there untested and dangerous all backed up with lies and false data,you could offer me and my family a million pounds and I still won't take it.
    2
  4259. I have followed Gary for a year now, and I have learned so much. I want to thank Gary for bringing education, wisdom, and most of all is knowledge, experience, and un conditional caring for our people, our country, and our society. He is a hero for the under lass,working classes, the middle classes, and he has done amazing spreading the word of inequality, uneven distribution of wealth. We need to keep going, keep supporting him to support our country to make a change in society that is fair to all of us. He has no hidden agenda. He is a rich man he made his money from hard graft. His passion to change things so we are all better off is incredulous. A genuine man who deeply cares for our people and country , I want to personally congratulate him and ask if we can have more conferences in person around the country. I missed the manchester one but would love to attend and bring my friends to his talk shows. Thankyou Gary an inspirational man of the 21 last century. Modest and inspirational one of a kind ❤
    2
  4260. Welcome Back Gary. You have been greatly missed. I am coming to see you in Nottingham. I look forward to seeing you in person. Please don’t ditch you FUCKS to me as a Glaswegian Fuck is just punctuation. Wishing you a very happy new year.
    2
  4261. I have just added a comment to a short video from REFORM TV, title is; we've got to cut Taxes on the working and middle classes! and my comment was; Btw the Way, where is the £700 BN spent by Government on COVID, we the people never saw anything of that but I'm sure, some of the lacky's and cronies in government saw it. So come on Gary, we need to hear something from you. don't sit on the side lines, that won't help anybody. Speak Gary speak up
    2
  4262. Nigel farage nor Boris is your friend, Gary is your friend
    2
  4263. Just an idea - if you’re intending to have some of these videos conceptually constructed as a ‘series’, then you could settle on a naming convention for those videos, so it’s clear where the linkages are. Like <Broad Topic> - <Subtopic> - 01/02/03/04… etc. I don’t mean to suggest using that exact naming convention, but you get where I’m coming from! Great channel by the way, big fan.
    2
  4264. your book was a brilliant read thanks Gary. have sent these as audiobook gifts to friends.
    2
  4265. You've definitely earned a break Gary! Hope you're feeling re-charged. Your message is going to snowball as the inequality worsens and more people keep spreading the truth, I like your ambition of growing the channel with more staff. We've got to keep trying to wake people up to the fact they're being lied to by those with the insane wealth. Keep up the great work, and keep the faith you're doing what's right and good for the masses. Don't let the b*stards break you! peace and love!

  4267. I loved your book. I heard about it in a very random way. A friend of mine had heard you on an interview with Brendan O'Connor in Ireland and was really impressed by you. Your piece at the end about "It was us..." blew me away and brought tears to my eyes. I loved your voice. Thank you for it.
    2
  4268. Listening to the audiobook, great stuff
    2
  4269. @garyseconomics You continue to wear what you want Gary. You always get the odd Gaslighter looking to big themselves up at others expense. I don’t care what you wear it’s your message to us all that’s important❤
    2
  4270. Protect this man at all costs.
    2
  4271. Isn’t that why they have put up interest rates?

  4274. Great video. Thank you to my parents for not letting me be born rich haha

  4275. Thank you, Gary. Straight to the point as always. 👍

  4284. Like the interview. LOVE THE STOCK

  4285. You were so right. I wish I had seen this video 4 years ago

  4286. The "People's Economist" has returned! 😎✌️💪🏻

  4287. The format of this guys videos are absolutely cringe

  4290. What does igzodinist shock mean? I know ive murdered the spelling of that 😂 & amazing vid again! Thanks for content & the audio was fine
    2
  4291. What are your thoughts on the low unemployment and staff shortages in the UK right now? Some wages are going up. Is it a Brexit issue with simply a smaller pool of workers?
    2
  4292. Great video
    2
  4293. Well done Gary, you're doing a great job! Enjoy your holiday, especially the cycle ride!!
    2
  4294. Fantastic video!

  4295. Thanks man. I saw this coming and warned everyone I could.... Some believed me..... The rest ........ As an ex AnE nurse I know many elderly will die because of this government, this winter....

  4296. "How do I get rich?" You don't.

  4297. Great video!

  4298. Hello 👋🏽 Gary. Thanks for bleeping out the swear words! My 12 year old son is usually around when I watch your videos on a Sunday. Keep up the good work. Phupinder
    2
  4299. We are writing to keir starmer to ask him to meet with you.
    2
  4300. Grassing on someone is the term for snitching or telling on someone I assume. Also how about the government quit spending so much money and letting people into their countries that came illegally and pay attention to the citizens that are there first before they start acting like a philanthropist with money they don’t have.
    2
  4301. I love his mug 😊
    2
  4302. Ok Gary. I just ordered the book (from Amazon:( ). Only did so because I am wanting to start the PUSHBACK. What's our first move after reading the book Gary? The question I have had in my mind and heart for years now is "How do we get everybody, including the planet taken care of?" Another good question-"What is enough?" What's next after (American style) capitalism? I like that you think the countries should have some wealth. It bothers me that Ukraine is forced to sell off state assets for the war. And I think it's not just for the weapons but they made deals to let the multinational corps take over Ukraine in exchange for fighting the Russians. Loosing the country even if they win.
    2
  4303. It seems to me, it comes across like squeezing an orange and there’s so much juice. But the economy at this moment in time. The orange, has been squeezed to a point where bye there is not much juice left so the question I have to ask..? Where is the juice coming from in the future future?. Surely there must be a limitation. How far can you carry on and to what extent and what are the causes?.
    2
  4304. THANK YOU MATE - WE APPRECIATE YOU
    2
  4305. u r a legend
    2
  4306. The arguments come down to: it's unethical to tax the rich, and even if it were ethical it will destroy the economy, and even if it doesn't destroy the economy it's impossible... they will try anything and everything (raising fares to save a transit system from a drop in ridership, destroying the NHS in order to save it) rather than raise taxes on the rich. Which is all you need to know: Listen to the agents of the rich, and do the thing they tell you not to do.
    2
  4307. Amazing
    2
  4308. This is excellent Gary. I wish even more people listened to you. People’s views on what’s important is totally wrong and we need society to think differently. I hope your message is heard. It’s critical.
    2
  4309. Hey Gary I really admire & appreciate what you’ve doing - brilliant If I see you I’ll try not to bother you… can’t promise though 🌝✔️
    2
  4310. The trouble with wealth taxes is that they will scare of the rich and they will leave the UK offshore. Look at a California there is a mass exodus of rich people to more civilised tax jurisdictions. The best solution is negative interest rates and to make the big corporations like Amazon, Uber, BP pay some tax; except they never will as they pay the politicians consultancy and threaten to disemploy millions
    2
  4311. You can tell Gary is one of them and not one of us: he's got a jar of real Marmite on the worktop behind him. That stuff costs a fortune now. I have to make do with the half-price knock-off stuff from Aldi
    2
  4312. We need more people like yourself all the very best to you for the truth 💯
    2
  4313. I disagree totally. The super rich will move tax residency to another country if tax is raised for them. Or they will continue to hide income and assets in shell companies. If people want to inherit their parents houses and not spend on palliative care they need to give up their time to care for their elderly parents like my family did, and many other families I know.
    2
  4314. As a florist I was very impressed by the bouquet!

  4315. Love yer hoodie. 🖤
    2
  4316. This is so good
    2
  4317. Very important message. I am always curious how is it fine to tax "the rich" by taking >50% in tax on income from hard working people, while taxing up to 20% (but mostly 0%) on income coming from just ownership of assets. Also I wish I found your channel 3 years ago... Very clearly explained information that are filling the gaps in my logic, that made me make some costly mistakes. KUDOS
    2
  4318. Excellent and interesting
    2
  4319. I'm disappointed that you have so little followers. Are there dark forces at work?
    2
  4320. I'm happy to notice the drive to tax the VERY rich more, is now creeping into political agender on the run up the the UK elections. I'm seeing it mentioned more and more by different parties. I may just be noise at the moment but the seed had been planted. Nice one Gary. Its down to us all to now apply the pressure. Remember, the local MP represent 'us' so lets not let them forget it and make sure you vote. It will make the difference of having a chance to have more cash or being poor. VOTE.
    2
  4321. Really interesting thanks Gary
    2
  4322. Thank you, everyone else on here has said exactly what I feel, just thank you. I always say vote and I completely agree with your views, you're a breath of fresh air. I'm a retired lady and I feel utterly frustrated by the inequality throughout the world. Keep going you inspire very many of us ❤️

  4323. Why limited comments Gary
    2
  4324. Love it Gary! A graph or two would go even further to simplify this for the lay :)
    2
  4325. Welcome back Gary 🎉 Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. May 2025 be a great success for you in showing us a way forward. ❤
    2
  4326. Thanks for this video! Commenting for the algorithm :)
    2
  4327. Congratulations mate! I have no expectations about frequency of videos, they take time and appear when they appear, and we are grateful/ supportive!! 🙏 So chuffed about you getting more exposure, il be like “it’s me boy!” Lol
    2
  4328. It’s been amazing to see your message get out to mainstream. I’ve been listening to you for a few years now and it’s been an uphill battle getting you the exposure to my friends and family, but they listening now❤. Well done. I got the audiobook👊
    2
  4329. 👍
    2
  4330. Thanks Gazza. Very clear and concise.
    2
  4331. Great video, you appear far more articulate and morally responsible than any of those clowns in Westminster. We desperately need change in the UK. We have been stripped of anything that we could be possibly be proud of, and the majority of us are essentially slaves.
    2
  4332. Really appreciate honest straight talk. Algorithms aside, I like how you're able to explain what most of us coming to your block already know or intuite. I'd like you to also explore caps on wealth gathering for the extremely wealthy, in addition to taxes. This is not communism or socialism. There are a few smart folks talking about this. Personally I feel that if wealthy aren't going to give back to the ppl who made them wealthy and instead are going to just keep massing wealth for wealths sake and the power and influences that brings, then there should be a cap on how much wealth you can weild under your own volition. Obviously, even this would be gamed, but it is heading in the right direction. There's more, but Im at work. What do you think.
    2
  4333. Wow, just wow. Recently found your channel - binged it all week. This. Video. Is. Gold. (well above $3,000 😉) SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
    2
  4334. Thank you for breaking this down in simple human understandable terms. Very insightful.

  4335. I am from INDIA Gary. Income inequality in INDIA is on another level. The Media is hiding it and use scapegoats to distract the public. Thank you for what your doing Gary. Please take care of your self.

  4336. Damn dude this shit is amazing. Thanks so much

  4340. thank you for this
    2
  4341. Gary, thank you SO VERY MUCH ❤️, for putting all of this in perspective. I was just listening 👂🏽 to LBC Radio at 3.15 am, has you do 😳☺️😒 and thought 💭 wow, who's this!!!! Great man, Great service. I am following you!!!! and will spread the word.

  4342. On the point about brexit as a source of inspiration for institutionally unpopular positions being adopted is that it was millionaire/billionaire backed and Murdoch backed it too. The point about keir being unpopular in a year really made me think that he may well go the way of Johnson quickly. There's hope. We just need to be ready for that day when it's clear to everyone that he's not going to save us. We truly do have the highest of mountains to conquer but giving up will never be an option. Good luck to everyone fighting the good fight including you Gary.

  4343. Just picked up The Trading Game in Dublin airport a few days ago while going on holidays. Great book, I find it hard to put it down. Will be getting a few more copy’s for friends of mine when I’m back home. Looking forward also to watching your content on YouTube 👍🏻

  4344. Lots of people Trying to Big up the Bitcoin Scam,,, some one always lose a fortune.

  4345. With you all the way Gary

  4347. Great video Gary!

  4348. Gazza, please stick up some footage from your ride, would love to see some of that... Rest up
    2
  4349. Just discovered you Gary, really enjoying & appreciating your kind intellect, thank you. I'm only seconds in and the fact that there is a SPECIAL tax loophole for people (lets be clear that means...rich powerful men primarily) buying 7 houses plus, I repeat 7 houses plus, at a time tells me EVERYTHING that is wrong with our current systems.....political, economic, social you name it....f**ked. Peace.

  4350. Brilliant video, Gary. Moving, powerfully performed, intellectually brilliant. You are a unique voice and talent and I hope you go from stength to strength..

  4351. So, Trickle Down Economics is behaviourally and economically naive, because the dominance of financialisation - the growth in private assets vs public assets because of privatisation - means tbe wealthy will just hoover up more low risk assets - like stocks and shares or houses - instead of higher risk assets such as investments in industry. And that increases costs for ordinary consumers, and deprives them of the basics low risk assets they need for survival. Combine that with policies that myopically focus on preventing wage spiral inflation, Trickle Down Economics 1) effectively kills the goose that lays the Golden Egg - the purchasing power of wage earners - that drives economic growth; 2) disincentivises both the wealthy and corporations from investing in their businesses, or innovation to increase productivity, thereby encouraging chronic low productivity, relative to other countries; 3) Divests the State of the ability to intervene and i) maintain the infrastructure needed for economic growth, such as education and healthcare; and ii) neuters their ability to use tax policies to incentivise investment in higher risk assets needed to grow the economy. So this is impoverishing middle class and working class consumers to benefit the already wealthy. Welcome to the New Precarity, in the chase to the bottom. If consumers can't buy, there will be no real growth. And reducing their wages is killing off their ability to buy consumer goods, either outright, or on credit, which accounts for the fall off in consumer spending, and the closures of businesses dependent on consumer spending. Trickle Down Economics is the Agent Orange of real economic growth, because it kills off the bulk of consumer spending in the long run. It's a form of economic colonisation, that will enslave and impoverish the people who have no wealth.

  4352. Regarding academia, the situation is the same in all industries. Academia becomes an isolated bubble that is almost solely concerned with publishing and self promotion.
    2
  4353. Thanks for addressing the issues Gary
    2
  4354. Gary you were right on all points,Dont take this personal Gary but,The whole farce depressed me,Like yourself,I could see what was coming down the line,Starmer is Camoron,The people were hoodwinked,Politics in Britain is rancid and corrupt and I would rather throw bleach on my nuts than vote for any of the rats in Westminster. Good to see you back,All the best!
    2
  4355. @Garyeconomics thanks for this channel and for telling the truth. I also see that specially in the last years we are going in the direction of a new "Feudalism" and it is super important that everyone is aware of it before we lose the middle class and it is too late to do anything about it. Keep on doing it! You should have more followers! Thanks again!
    2
  4356. This is the heart of the problem. Excellent. Repost! Repost!
    2
  4357. Thanks for clearing up the hat issue, Fella!
    2
  4358. Hey Gary! Keep up the good work. It's good to see that a younger generation is more getting interested in politics. It's exactly the engagement our western societies need to change things for the better. Good luck and looking forward to see your work develop!
    2
  4359. Pre bought it. Half way through. Awesome so far.
    2
  4360. That put a smile on my face🤣 lab grown meat.🤣
    2
  4361. Loving the book Gary 👍🏻 Too busy to read past the first chapter so far but it's great and I am about to start chapter 2 right now.
    2
  4362. Enjoy Japan. I have friends going next week. I’ll tell them to look out for you. 😜😎

  4364. Great channel.
    2
  4365. Raw chicken dude! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Found you through your fantastic book 👍
    2
  4366. Hey Gary, just want to say thanks for all you are trying to do! I’ve ordered the book and will be sharing copies with friends.
    2
  4367. BIG UP YASELF!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
    2
  4368. Brilliant
    2
  4369. thanks Gary, rich dad, poor dad was one of my first lessons...and u have confirmed my general thoughts about the huge wealth transfer that occurred during last 4 years (bigger than 2008?) anyway yr prognosis fits why they have removed winter fuel allowance and will soon remove single persons discount for council tax...we thought we'd seen it all but the next few years will be very rough...we can see the results on the streets of London, desperate people everwhere

  4370. ✊
    2
  4371. WOW!
    2
  4372. Gary I like you - but that top is horrendous 😊
    2
  4373. This guy is extremely bright. He makes complex ideas simple and easy to understand. He should be teaching practical or applied economics.
    2
  4374. Thanks for posting this Gary. It’s a brilliant and powerful speech that should be heard by everyone.
    2
  4375. Excellent Gary, can't tell you know how much I appreciated listening to your lecture at Cambridge. Best yet. Keep safe, keep going. You've planted the seed. The seeds being sowed, the message is getting out.. .. Thank you🙏
    2
  4376. Have a good holilday.
    2
  4377. The body language of the responses to Gary down to logical thinking of the panel feels like they have been paid to talk nonsense push an agenda because it does not effect them.. Gary u are more than a hero
    2
  4378. nice shirt man
    2
  4379. Absolutely love this content. Spot on! 👏👏
    2
  4380. 💚
    2
  4381. As always, an informative video. But I'm slightly confused. During the Covid lockdown, the uk government printed money BUT gave it to me as Furlough payments and I'm definitely not rich. (However , I did spend that money, so I guess it did end up In the pockets of the rich)
    2
  4382. Your original video on Covid and the flow of money should be essential viewing for everybody. Hope the book does well and the movement goes from strength to strength until it forces changes towards a more equal society.
    2
  4383. Gary could really not have put it clearer than that. Both the Tories and the right wing of Labour are tin eared. That was a nursery class for them. Distribution unfairness and increasing inequality are incompatible with unregulated capitalism at this late stage of its current offering.
    2
  4384. Thank you Gary. I'm learning a lot about economics through your channel including from a human perspective. It's so challenging to find a way to combat poverty and inequality and indeed tax the wealthy but I agree that we must try our best to challenge inequality in society. Thank you again Gary.
    2
  4385. Another good video. Thanks for the share. Regards, Naihum
    2
  4386. Keep going Gary. The more awareness the better. All viewing share the message.
    2
  4387. The only people who left were the actors and pop stars, tax the money going to the wealthy from UK people, no brainer. Great Vid. Just read yout trader book, what an eye opener, glad you escaped x
    2
  4388. LOVE IT
    2
  4389. Thank you for another great video.
    2
  4390. Fortunately we can still vote. As people find themselves hurting, they will start to pay attention to how the economy is run. In Australia we are seeing large voter swings away from the default Labor / Liberal options and vote for independents.
    2
  4391. american here hehe
    2
  4392. I am glad to have you back, This channel is one of the best channels I have come across when it comes to discussing these problems and creating a solution for it. Thank you for giving up your time to work on this channel, and I hope you enjoyed your break. It was well deserved.
    2
  4393. 👍
    2
  4394. Gary , brilliant!.
    2
  4395. You've hit the nail on the head, but there's a harsh reality here. Call me cliche, but it's described perfectly in the book 1984. "But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”
    2
  4396. I absolutely love this book. I don't usually do audio books but hearing Gary read this is even better than I could've imagined. 5 stars mate! Thank you so much for what you're doing. Perfect listening for a cycle round Ilford.
    2
  4397. The bit at the end , ' I'm not talking about you dave in the comments who's an accountant makin 60 grand ' 😂😂 . Those are the 1's man , they started voting tory cos they thought they was rich 😂😂
    2
  4398. Think we can call it- prediction correct.
    2
  4399. I’m an American conservative-leaning independent, and you make me not hate the left. 👏👏👏
    2
  4400. 🏆 Agreed EVERY TIME ANYONE in politics or legacy media says - we can't afford *** - HIT them with... £700b is X times bigger than Y ... e.g: £700b is 350 x the initial outlay of the £2b needed for nurses inflation equalising pay deal, yet the Government don't know who has it!
    2
  4401. Absolutely loved this video.
    2
  4402. The Empire Strikes back. They are calling Gary a Bullsxxter in FT. Ironically being a bullsxxter gives your story more credibility to work on the trading floor. 😂 Part of the uniform shall we say We know you were deffinatly there 😂
    2
  4403. It's a version, and a very tired one at that, that if you put your head down and work hard you could be PM/president. This is cos capitalism is on life support and as Graeber said is now a utopian system in that to think it works and will benefit you or your children you have to smoke a lot of shit😀
    2
  4404.  @garyseconomics  That makes perfect sense... wish I'd thought of it. Guess that's why you're you and I'm me. I am loving the content though. Thank you.
    2
  4405. I’m 34 I earn 700 a week driving a lorry my rent is 700 a month on a trailer I rent on someone else’s land and I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever afford a house
    2
  4406. I've been following Gary from the start and I see his points. People find these issues depressing and don't want to listen or talk about it. People are worried that they will be taxed more and believe that wealth is required for them to get their slice of the pie. There are too many turkeys voting for Christmas.
    2
  4407. Indispensable insights and said in a clear and relatable way. I hope the universities catch on to what you’re saying, u saint you
    2
  4408. They pretend to pay us we pretend to work (old Russia joke)
    2
  4409. Well that explains a lot. Very illuminating. I feel like the job of public economist isn't to be right, it's to write propaganda.
    2
  4410. Spot on.
    2
  4411. Yes! So glad you’re back and hope you had a great trip. Very much relevant in the US
    2
  4412. Thanks Gary for letting us know the truth about government sleaze. I have shared your post already and I hope everyone does the same!
    2
  4413. Capitalism needs control mechanisms and wealth redistribution. That's it, in a nutshell. You also need equality of opportunity. 😊
    2
  4414. This is a great video because it gives simple and yet very insightful messages. I liked it.
    2
  4415. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
    2
  4416. One of the best videos you've done
    2
  4417. Smashing it bruv; whatever we can do to improve the living standards of the poor, is worth it. Society certainly needs a rethink and this kind of approach is a good step in the right direction, @GarysEconomics , please do more, and I'm happy to help out. Maybe have a tiered explanation for what people can do? There are still alot of people with time and motivation
    2
  4418. Just the playlist I was looking for. Slowly becoming a big fan. Keep it up Gary.
    2
  4419. Thank you! Appreciate your insights. Have you read The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein? I would love to hear your insights in relation to the covid crisis, the economy and the hidden history provided to us in The Shock Doctrine. I'm sure you are busy though. 😊👍
    2
  4420. This guy cooked
    2
  4421. Hang on did you drop a coin at the beginning like 50 cent
    2
  4422. Don't the wealthy realize if everyone does better then they will also do better maybe they won't have more money than god but how much is enough
    2
  4423. An economics degree is and always has been a degree in cheerleading for capitalism by chanting equations.
    2
  4424. thankyou for your honesty and dedication!!

  4429. Congratulations Gary 👏👏 Government prints money, where does it go ? I think you have forever exposed this folly.
    2
  4430. word!
    2
  4431. Let's Go!
    2
  4432. Thank you for everything you continue to do on this channel and beyond, it has changed my life and I will stand with you. I’ve got two coins to give with you 👍
    2
  4433. Yeah as soon as you mentioned his salary I out loud called bullshit and knew it was purely a PR figure
    2
  4434. Gary, Don’t lose hope - it will be long haul but will be worth it when you succeed. For this election I would suggest: Vote Lab or LibDem in a way Tory held seat. They are terrible for the country and need to be ejected; In a reasonably safe Labour seat, vote Green as a way of signaling support for the wealth tax, hopefully a wake up call to Starmer and Reeves. (I am an overseas voter in a Lab held constituency and that is my plan).
    2
  4435. That a NoFace jumper I see? 👀
    2
  4436. It's quite cool you're talking with your friend to explain it to us
    2
  4437. Mr. Gary Stevenson, it seems you live reality. Whereas, a few other members of the show were speaking nonsense; not telling the truth about the current reality of the common working-class person. I admire your common sense and honesty.
    2
  4438. Like your video, but how do we protect our pensions and assets?
    2
  4439. well done Gary...great idea😀
    2
  4440. Me I am
    2
  4441. I like it. If you were Gucci gang people would be like rich cunt. At lease we can just focus on what your saying and the message.
    2
  4442. Please do keep banging on! You mentioned supporting you. How can we do this more effectively?
    2
  4443. I just recently found your Youtube channel through your Short. Your channel rocks. Keep spreading the word!
    2
  4444. Cheers Gary! Glad you're taking time for yourself mate, shifting the consensus is not a quick or easy thing to do so you've gotta take care of yourself to keep running the marathon. Also don't let people guilt you about not funding the channel with all your own cash. It's a deeply moral thing you're trying to do but you can't garauntee that people aren't going to be too thick headed to see the truth or change; so you've gotta look out for yourself and your loved ones too.
    2
  4445. This is going to get buried, and is 7 months late, but if you adjust the game to be “minimise the combined years in prison” then the equilibrium is to not grass. You get 10 for every option except both not grassing do both player picks not grass at equilibrium. I think this would make your point even more succinct - the choice of what you’re optimising for is actually the bigger choice, the maths just plays out. Lovely stuff Gary keep it going
    2
  4446. You can do this. It's going to be easy! There is a huge gap in the market after all.
    2
  4447. Fun crypto FACT: I made 1000% profit on #scamcoin while watching this video. make of that what you will
    2
  4448. But isn't that dangerous? I mean for the rich people.
    2
  4449. Thankless fucking work gazza, weekly, sincerely, thank you.
    2
  4450. Great interview Gary. I'm a huge fan of the work your doing. As you say we all need to become more politised, and start demanding economic rights. The same way we have had to fight for race rights, gay rights, women's rights, disability rights. All these social progressions have come from the people, not the government.
    2
  4451. Your comments make so much sense, I hope you can help working class people in the future
    2
  4452. Congratulations on really good predictions and a completely consistent message.
    2
  4453. is gary’s hair longer on top than on the back and sides, genuinely want to know, ive been sitting here trying to work it out. he’s doing excellent work - please like and subscribe to his channel!
    2
  4454. very precise analytics of the current state - must watch! best from Palma / Berlin
    2
  4455. Gary, you are a brilliant communicator. I am taking this knowledge you are sharing into my own work. If your goal is to find more people to amplify your message, then I, for one, in my own small way will do that. Thanks for all the easily understood information and knowledge
    2
  4456. I wish I could give this a thousand likes ❤ Keep going Gary.
    2
  4457. Thanks Gary You're a diamond. 👍
    2
  4458. Just to take that metaphor of the patient with a tumor (inequality), the doctor's answer would be "eat more".
    2
  4459. Excellent video man. Always learning something new here. And that last bit about taxes has to keep getting driven into people's skulls until the shift happens!
    2
  4460. Gary you are a top guy
    2
  4461. Gary! I read you book bro. Really excellent work, I really liked it.
    2
  4462. This is why I don't get people who hate landlords but not shareholders. What's the difference between having 60,000 employees at glaxo beavering away to pay me a little each or 1 employee of any company plc working to pay me rent. Both yield 5%. Why is one given a free pass and the other tarnished as abuse.
    2
  4463. Just ordered your book and looking forward to it being delivered tomorrow!
    2
  4464. Great lesson, thANKS
    2
  4465. Wow, I'm inspired... I need to pay attention to what's happening in my country 🇿🇦 we don't have a Gary
    2
  4466. The money will eat you up inside. Alcohol, cocaine, loneliness, isolation, fear. Most are on antidepressants and in family therapy and injecting fillers to keep up. Gated, security, cannot appreciate the beauty of life. The rich are paradoxically always scared. Of YOU. They know YOU are coming for them.
    2
  4467. Hipe Gary reaches out to masses. As a someone who think he's financially well aware, couldn't think in these details of how rich getting richer would affect non-rich. Because the finance now a days is taught in a perspective to be rich. Gary and his knowledge is really in todays society. Let's make him popular.
    2
  4468. You have a talent for explaining things in such an understandable way. Thank you.
    2
  4469. Great explanation, Gary. I would be interested to understand more about the mechanisms that result in the printed money flowing to the rich. Also, do you think a ‘people’s QE’ as proposed by some politicians would ultimately produce any different outcomes? Surely that would result in inflation too?
    2
  4470. I like this dude.
    2
  4471. Well done my brother
    2
  4472. Keep shouting inequality from the rooftops. The more we bring it up, the louder the message gets
    2
  4473. Just finished your book Gary, absolutely loved it!
    2
  4474. +1
    2
  4475. Real Talk!
    2
  4476. I've been watching Gary for a while now. I've always thought his mission and delivery was excellent but was unsure how much traction his message would get in such a media-bombarded world. This interview is super powerful. It actually makes me think if he / we can keep up this pace, there's a real chance of everyone in the country starting to understand what's actually going on and voting / campaigning to change it.
    2
  4477. Awesome video to push the mood and address the issues
    2
  4478. Depressing that "How do I get rich" is your most asked question. It's just pieces of paper FFS people wake up.
    2
  4479. Really good and clear overview and description of the situation.
    2
  4480. Incredible achievement if turns out to be true (no1. book in non fiction). I am so proud for you! and we've never met!
    2
  4481. The Oracle of Ilford destroys the toffy toffs of Oxford and Cambridge …spouting fluffy fluff from their high castles ringed by stinky moats. 🥶
    2
  4482. 8:34 real shit
    2
  4483. People aren't leaving Newcastle. The Toon is doing well. Granted it isn't London (I've lived in both) but quality of life is much better on an average salary in Newcastle. It has a great social scene too and, of course, much friendlier people.
    2
  4484. Just saw your interview on Insider. I TOTALLY relate with you in many ways. Your insight is very appreciated, Sir.
    2
  4485. You really are a bright light in dark times. Loving the book and so glad you weren't an oboe player.......😊
    2
  4486. Just bought the book ! 👍✊
    2
  4487. Beautiful post! If we work together to change the system we're in, we'll be rich!
    2
  4488. Just finished reading The Trading Game. I really enjoyed reading it, it's the best book I've read in ages 😎 It's written in a really human and readable way and your voice shines through every page. Thank you👏
    2
  4489. Four seasons of Succession has prepared me for this
    2
  4490. Never heard before " not your fault that you live in poverty " . This is direct punch to the gut and the exact opposite to what we have always been told. It seems we are taught to always punch down .
    2
  4491. Love the video man, very nice explanation. Also its really sweet how you are reacting too your video i can tell you are here with your heart
    2
  4492. Gary you are a man of sound common sense, I agree with everything you are saying also the altruism shines out loud and clear.
    2
  4493. One of your best videos yet!
    2
  4494. Thank you Gary for the work you are doing, may Allah bless and protect you brother
    2
  4495. Welcome back Gaza, BTW I would love to see you do a collaboration with the "Black belt barrister" or "Dmurphy25" 🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯👌🏽
    2
  4496. Gary your videos are thought provoking, insightful but terrifying. I recently read a quote "every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets" credited to a Paul Batalden. Whilst it was made within the context of healthcare is does seem to relate nicely to what you are talking about. It is in a book by Professor Gwyn Bevan titled "how did Britain come to this?" Gary I think you may like it !
    2
  4497. Is that sign in New York, where the number keeps going up rapidly showing the governments debt, showing how much richer the rich are getting. Is that another way of looking at that?
    2
  4498. I've just finished your book and I enjoyed every single word. Finished it in a plane and random guy next me had heard of your. Well done, Gazman. Let's play now - hope you/we can make a change.
    2
  4499. I never really properly understood game theory because I didn't get the assumption of selfish. By and large, humans are pro social, so I couldn't quite understand it.
    2
  4500. Incoherent garble unfortunately - nothing new or insightful. Me me me as well. Luxury beliefs yawn.
    2
  4501. Thanks for the video! As always on point!
    2
  4502. You're forgetting much if the local authority housing was handed over to housing associations. The government no longer own those properties, but pay a significant cost towards them through housing benefit and universal credit.
    2
  4503. Just got mine. Had no idea it was signed so that was a nice surprise. Looking forward to getting stuck in!
    2
  4504. Good to have you back Gary!
    2
  4505. I've never understood when economics and finance is spoken about in the news, I thought I was dumb but they just can't explain things like you can! When are you starting a political party so we can vote for you!!
    2
  4506. I totally agree about unity!!! Everyday I see more and more division of the people over an array of subjects.. like rogue princes, racism, sexism, immigration, transgenderism, television presenter fallouts, so much bs I didn’t choose to be subjected to.. I’ve been following your channel for months and months, but you’re content never pops up.. instead, I end up getting distracted by these topics of ‘public interest’ .. alongside the make-up videos, met gala outfits, and hollowood plastic surgery gossip. Aaaahhhhh! I confess, I fall down the hole, and I don’t even want to! The algorithm is peddling polarisation and dumbing downness. Good old divide and conquer is the outcome.. I’m glad I can see it for what it is- basically distracting me from really using my brain! but whilst blindly floating along the mainstream, I’m inevitably part of the problem. I’m going to make a point of liking all of your videos, and hitting the notification bell! I totally agree about unity, I think you’re great! Nice one.. respect! 😎

  4507. That "won't they just leave" question is like a tough, old zombie; it refuses to die. I could swear that same interviewer asked you it last time you were on!
    2
  4508. I probably owe you an apology. I figured you'd just got tired of swimming against the tide. A book is an excellent idea for getting people to invest in & take ownership of the ideas we need to share. I've a feeling 2024 could be a great year. There's not much positive about Gaza, but it's shown us how out of touch the establishment are and that's on top of the failure to defame & destroy the likes of Mick Lynch in the national conscience.

  4509. Garry you are a man of massive integrity, wisdom, intelligence and grit. We almost never get to hear anyone speak so truthfully on any subject. Thank you and may you be blessed with the appreciation of many.

  4517. You're creating a movement mate. And it's going to be a big one.
    2
  4518. Gary is like Varoufakis. Endless word salad waffle without actually saying anything.
    2
  4519. Haha, Communists want the world where there are no rich people, Gary wants the world where there are no poor people. Mind the difference!

  4520. Payment went out this morning. Yesterday at Hard Art Brian told me the Trading Game is a really good read...

  4521. Wow this was such a great summary of your story and your beliefs Gary! Well done. I hope your voice gets louder over time and something can be done about what is happening because you are very right about all of this.
    2
  4522. I've listened to you from the start Gary x

  4525.  @garyseconomics  Thanks for that - I'll track it down.

  4526. this is happening all over Europe!Here in Italy is the same!
    2
  4527. Love your honesty Gary and I love the positive note you left the video on.
    2
  4528. Brilliant content, explanations and delineations of terms that many (myself included) have gotten confused about in the past. It never ceases to amaze me that ordinary working folks don't get angry about this stuff to the level they do in France for example. It all begs the question 'Who is Britain for?'

  4535. Great, as always!
    2
  4536. Much love bro, hope ur enjoying ur Holliday. Please do come back and keep this channel going as although it’s not just blown up to millions as yet, I think it’s all the more important to keep it going especially with all the riots and the ways people are rising up almost ready to revolt against the govt or something. Absolute madness over here, you picked a good time to get away lol
    2
  4537. Great video- thanks
    2
  4538. Im convinced gary is professor greens brother
    2
  4539. I would consider myself pretty right wing by today’s standards. I watch this channel because it’s good to familiarise yourself with your opponents point of view, but I must say although I disagree with Gary on almost everything I’ve started to like the guy quite a lot. Definitely think he’s got a good heart
    2
  4540. Maybe as an advanced economy we can’t grow much more. We have reached the limit?
    2
  4541. Amazing how one man can kick back so much against these horrible sponsored ‘think tanks’.
    2
  4542. I love your content but I want to hear more about your cycling! ❤

  4543. Wish I found this earlier. World is making sense. Thanks for posting Gary.

  4553. Love it!!!!!!!!!
    2
  4554. Great to have you back. Your message is so important. We need root and branch reform of our economic and political system - as neither serves the people. I hope you can find allies with the influence to help take your message to the people. You have my support 100%. I just wish I knew how to do more to help.
    2
  4555. Big ups to you Gary for each and every one of your videos that you Produce for the good of the people. Can you consider creating a video on the rising number of insolvencies in this country and how that feeds into GDP wealthy inequality and everything in-between. I think it would make for a great dialogue.
    2
  4556. Refreshing and essential interview on Irish radio this morning. Well done!

  4557. ​ @mapper7310  I'm An Aussie and that is the point I keep trying to tell people. These issues are WORLDWIDE. I'm an engineer and my interest in economics came from a small project I did in 2016 into Australia's energy sector. Its way worse than ANYTHING the Australian people understand. When I look about the world for similar information I get the same story again and again and its all the fault of economists. I even heard the other day companies are leaving NZ because of energy costs. It took me a couple of year s to get an understanding of the cause and its 2 things. FIRST - economists think the rest of the human race are a problem they have to manage. SECOND - economists don't understand how economies actually function at the nuts & bolts level. They know how markets function because that's WHAT they are trained in. What they don't get is that market solutions don't work for certain basic requirements. They don't get that every business and household needs things like energy and water AND if you screw those things up then everything suffers additional costs. That's why their market solutions don't work for education, health care, infrastructure in general and PARTICULARLY ENERGY. They don't understand how that stuff functions and supports society. I watch people like Gary because it helps me understand how mainstream economists think and operate. His video on "Why are economists always wrong?" is something EVERYONE should watch because it explains so much. He's not perfect but the value of his information is staggeringly high.
    2
  4558. Dear Gary, thank you very much for your great videos!!!!! Is it too much to ask: to add subtitles to the videos for all of us who English is not out mother tongue ... It would be very helpful ! and easier to spread and share ... Many greetings from Athens!!

  4566. It's important that folks like Gary that have more power, money, and influence to nudge politicians and media. It's important for folks like me that have less power, money, and influence, to nudge my family, friends, and co-workers. Ultimately, it's all of our fight. Do what you can and do not despair.
    2
  4567. Me, seeing the title: “it’s simple, be born to rich parents, lol” Gary: says just that Me: “well, not sure if I should be happy or sad that I was right”

  4568. Wooooooo this is a wooooooorrrrdd!!! I feel like im at church. Where my fellow “grew up poors” at?

  4580. 11:30 "When things get worse, remeber this date" Wassup UK? It's 2024! Can BBC invite Gary back with the same idiots so he can slam and shame them ?

  4581. I’ve been sharing this on Twitter for the last hour and a half anybody can help please join in.

  4585. This was so powerful and heartfelt. You pierced our souls with this message. Thank you 🙏🏿
    2
  4586. Good advise as usual Gary x
    2
  4587. Love you Gary.❤
    2
  4588. Love your substantial points on why wealth inequality makes our lives substantially worse consequently. Love your stuff Gary, I’m an Irish law student and possible soon to be PhD candidate. My research looks at avoidance of future legal obligations and I aim to take tax exams post PhD to look at tax avoidance in greater detail . Looking to try and make my points in public forums and move dials. Your work is a great inspiration!
    2
  4589. Gary just made the case for the only solution to solve this problem; mass taxation of this oligarchy. Gary stating the only way the rich get rid of their "savings" is to buy assets from everyone else and the governments. Well there's another way, through taxation. Which is only making thst c9vid theft money come back to public coffers.
    2
  4590. Just making a comment to engage with the video and help it with the old algorithm. Great message again, Gary.

  4592. Just got mine!! Can't wait to dig into it!
    2
  4593. Thank you for your content keep going your making the world a better place
    2
  4594. They trot out the same trope here in Australia re wage increases feeding inflation I truly don’t understand how they can get away with arguing that being able to put bread on the table is inflationary. It’s akin to saying the only way to curb inflation is to allow people to starve. Talk about a blunt instrument.
    2
  4595. Thanks gary i thought i was going mad , with the media government and the establishment,They are just not telling the truth ,about who as stolen the £ 700 billion, this injustice in parliament (who represents the people) not the goverment.
    2
  4596. Top man Gary, thank you 🙏
    2
  4597. Damn. I've studied 'money' for many years. At university and for myself. It's a short video and you and I know that there is much more to talk about, but you fuckin nailed it. This is the best video about 'money' in our modern world that I've ever seen. Furthermore I've seen your latest interviews. Go on, mate! We need you and I needed you. I've predicted the financial crash of 2008 in May 2008 but I didn't bet on it, because I was also only 23 and I didn't work for Citibank. Love your story. Will read your book. Thanks for your honesty. Wish you all the best, mate. There is no there is no alternative. Thanks for giving me hope. :) Because we're living in the 'end of times' and what we need is someone like you. I will follow your journey and wish you all the best. Get them mf!
    2
  4598. To the point no BS. Heard you on LBC last night and you says it like it is. Thanks.
    2
  4599. Gary would never accept “ignorance is bliss” Gary’s message comes from his heart & soul. A true warrior ❤ 💪🏼 thank you 🙏
    2
  4600. This video is fascinating to me! Thank you for this explanation.
    2
  4601. I spite of that travesty on your head and dodgy roadman accent, this is a good video.
    2
  4602. As a fellow Gary, I have enjoyed your videos thus far . Cheers
    2
  4603. Have a great revitalising break in Japan Gary and please come back refreshed, the world needs your voice and sane logic. Best wishes,
    2
  4604. Just WOW. ❤

  4605. Great vlog as always Gary, btw I’ve just purchased your book and very much enjoying it, kind regards Mark from Billericay 😃👍

  4609. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
    2
  4610. Fan from US, been listening on and off for a couple days and really do see most what of what you say coming to fruition in practice. How the ultra-wealthy can’t see (or perhaps don’t want to see) is that if wealth inequality keeps increasing they will also be screwed is beyond me. Sure, the road might be less bumpy, but what’s the point of a smooth ride if the destination is straight off a cliff?
    2
  4611. yes bro get the patreon up
    2
  4612. It is clear 👊
    2
  4613. I’m glad you’re back sir! You have been missed! 😢
    2
  4614. Well bloody done!!! Having followed you from the early YouTube vids I’m delighted this is all getting the attention it deserves. I’m also thrilled to see you have been interviewed and praised by james O’B - I can finally stop hounding him to engage with your work and message! Make sure you take some time out to recharge ready for the next round of us lot vs the evil of greed.
    2
  4615. Gaaaryyyy!!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
    2
  4616. Tremendous work. Congratulations! The education you provide is essential to a future with any sort of hope for regular people.
    2
  4617. The rich don't like redistribution of wealth to the poor and working class because that is communism we are told, but somehow it's not communism when wealth is distributed from the poor and working class people to the rich.
    2
  4618. 10:20 onwards is genuinely brilliant insight. He’s talking about me.
    2
  4619. Bloody el mate. Those are the wisest words I've heard in a long time!! Respect.
    2
  4620. Have a wonderful holiday, Gary. Keep fighting the good fight! People have been so brainwashed into believing the economic propaganda of the oligarchs and plutocrats and their corporate media puppets, that they have lost their imaginations and memories. In 1950’s America, considered a golden age by many conservatives, the tax rates were around 90% for the wealthiest individuals. Taxing the rich can, has, and must be done to create a sane, humane world.
    2
  4621. Divide and conquer 😮
    2
  4622. great down to earth advice
    2
  4623. I Love your honesty and Wisdom. Yes, you are Correct. My father came from a working class background, very clever and went into futures. trading.... yep.... guess the outcome. He died in his early 60's (super fit, no smoking drinking) from cancer which I believe was triggered by the massive stress of losing a huge amount of money during the late 80's / early 90's crashes. My mother then attempted suicide and myself and my 2 sisters were homeless due to bailiffs taking our house and belongings, all of us on meds for depression, the loss from my fathers trading was catastrophic.. Capitalism is EVIL. But, that's how it is and has been for millennia. If you are not a rich kid, Either be grateful for what you have, relationships, nature, clean water blah blah (but this is a reality, if you live in a first world country, you are already in the top 2% wealthiest... crazy yeah...) and all the other things that make a simple life beautiful. OR. put your ideas into action via taking massive calculated risks, or, win the fcking lottery.
    2
  4624. I can't put it down. Prologue just filled me with dread for the entire book so far 😅
    2
  4625. I wonder if any entrepreneur ever thought you know what I'm really going to knuckle down and work hard on this business so I can make a billion quid, but if it only makes me 990 million then fuck that for a laugh, may as well sign on
    2
  4626. Gary this was a great video keep up the great work you are doing We need to get your message out to as many people as possible they really don’t know what’s at stake Hopefully your book will be a great success, huge respect to you ❤
    2
  4627. Get in the headlines champ
    2
  4628. Thank you
    2
  4629. Most insightful video yet. Hope you've left more of this for your book!
    2
  4630. Finished the book this week, and I agree with Caleb, no spoilers, Thanks Gary
    2
  4631. Respect to you brother I've been impressed 💯
    2
  4632. FUCK YES GARY
    2
  4633. Gary . Fast forward to 2024 post GE . Spot on predictions.
    2
  4634. Great to see you back, really missed your informative Channel. Happy Christmas & a peaceful New Year.
    2
  4635. Go on gazman
    2
  4636. Excellent video and channel thanks 🙏🏻
    2
  4637. Increasing taxes on the wealthy doesnt necessarily mean they lose money, it just means they make less money. They can afford it, trust me.
    2
  4638. That was a brilliant analogy, Gary. I learn more n more from you by every video I watch. I've only just found you but haven't stopped talking about you to friends n family. We need more people behind us to support this, or the fat cats will continue taking the cream. 🤓💕
    2
  4639. Hope you are having a well earned rest. Couple of things - I attended a peace protest in Southampton last week. A speaker was there from the Unite Union. What they were talking about was economic inequality and taxing the rich. So, just wondering if there is an opportunity to work together with them re spreading the word. Another comment/suggestion is whether it might be worth creating a Community Interest Company going forward. I am not an expert but the advantage of being a CIC is that you can apply for funding as well as taking donations.
    2
  4640. Absolutely fucking brilliant. I only found you a few days ago (no thanks to MSM) and your voice/message needs to be louder.
    2
  4641.  @garyseconomics  Keep fighting the good fight, by the way. I've been sending your channel over to a load of friends and family.
    2
  4642. Good content
    2
  4643. I love the Jedi vibe with the hoodie Gary But I was listening to the content too. Excellent as ever Ive learnt so much from you. Keep up the campaign the ideas willl take root eventually
    2
  4644. Your name is getting around I had a meeting at work the other day and mentioned your name and said I am reading your book. My boss said I know of him listened to a podcast and said you make a lot of sense! Great book and enjoy Japan great people met a few travelling years ago and they taught me a few basics. Loved the simplicity of their numbering system sure you will love that ! Learn some of the language Sayōnara, soshite kōun o.
    2
  4645. Love what you're doing Gary. I would like to point out that there are many economists, including professors at the Ivy League level in the U.S., talking about and teaching on inequality going back as far as John Maynard Keynes. Here are a few that may interest your viewers: Nobel Laureates Joseph Stiglitz at Columbia; Angus Deaton (University of Bristol/Princeton), alongside his wife, Anne Case at Princeton; David Deming and Lawrence Katz at Harvard; Clara Mattei at the New School; Mariana Mazzucato at University College London; James K. Galbraith at the Institute for New Economic Thinking; Paul Krugman; and of course Thomas Piketty. Good to remember that there are prominent voices in the wilderness.
    2
  4646. Keep strong, keep going, the fact that you are being recognised, the fact that people are trying to dig up dirt on you, means that it's working. You have the momentum. Why not see if this community has connections with any YouTuber, musician, community owner, leader etc and get them to hep spread the message. There is some great work by Marshall Ganz about mobilising large numbers of people to rally around a cause. I can send it to you if you are interested.
    2
  4647. "Pledge" must be what he uses to clean his dirty mon£y!!

  4648. Wow

  4649. Hi Gary, great to have come across your channel thanks very much for your insight 👍🏻.
    2
  4650.  @garyseconomics thanks mate. it's long term (10 years)
    2
  4651. Loving the book
    2
  4652. Gary is absolutely right!! And the problem is excacabated by Millionairs in Government!, such as Sunak. Billionairs should not even be allowed to exist!! The more money and wealth they aquire the more Political Power they get (are given even!!).
    2
  4653. I'm happy to see that you have picked up the flame and carry on the fight. ✊ Great work! Keep going!
    2
  4654. Amazing!!!
    2
  4655. Thank you Gary. Thank you. I am sharing your videos with people I know. We will keep spreading the word. I have been pondering our economics and my place in it (but not from your places high or as low) for 40 years. I still wonder about my next steps. IF I have something to leave my kids/grandkids, what would that be? Land? Crypto? Other? If things fall apart, what would make a difference? How does it work? How is it changing? What is my role, here and now? I've lived modestly, aware of my human footprint, and trying to be conscious and responsible of our planet and resources. That feels right to me. I do meaningful work that contributes to people and a better world. But in my 3rd trimester of life, I still ponder on many aspects of money (energy?) and social contracts and economy, meeting my needs for the rest of my life, will I have enough and IF there is something to leave how do I do it in a way that is empowering not enabling, in a way that makes a positive difference and better people. I wonder.... And, I thank you!
    2
  4656. It's what Tibetan monks would wear if they lived in a warm climate (which they may do in a few decades, who knows).
    2
  4657. Gary is like gandy
    2
  4658. Elitist rubbish that has no place in 21st century society. Much rather listen to underground economists such as yourself Gary.
    2
  4659. "They want you to fight each other to be rich, but it's impossible to be rich because the rich are taking everything"
    2
  4660. Again a good video. It could be interesting if you could make a video with one of your economics professors. And explain this to them so we could hear his or her response. The way you explain this makes it sound so obvious that it’s strange some of it hasn’t channeled through to academia.
    2
  4661. FANTASTIC! Best video to date. Keep going Gary. I'm going to the Labour Party Conference and I will be wearing your name all over me.
    2
  4662. Honestly, I watched your bio on "Insider" and have a new found respect for you... My wife is British and stumbled upon you months ago, but thought you were just some dude explaining economics for dummies. Mad respect, and would be cool if you just opened up your videos with a bit about "I was the top trader for Citi, trading $1T+ daily. I've made the wealthy more wealthy and through my work became an expert in economies...."
    2
  4663. Thank you Gary 🙏🙏.
    2
  4664. Keep up the good work G. Look forward to yhe book.
    2
  4665. Gary glad you have furniture now.
    2
  4666. There is so much gaslighting that happens to the poor. Thank you for speaking truth to power and trying to do something about it. Wish you could help us out in the catastrophe that is the United States
    2
  4667. Great that this channel does videos like this! Good to hear. And really good for building the relationship with the subscriber base. Classic artist here, with more strings to his bow than pure art. Enjoy the well-earned break. EPIC!
    2
  4668. Gary got that east london swag going on …razor sharp intellect …!!…alongside mick Lynch ..favourite working class hero!!!

  4669. I love that you wrote this book. Can’t wait to read

  4673. Thanks for never forgetting you're one of us.

  4674. The message/video was heartfelt, your concern and involvement as well. I share with my wife several times daily/weekly how fortunate we are, a meal, a home and more, then expressing the disparity/hardship people are experiencing ...globally. We are retired, work hard still, but care. I/we have always helped others. without being asked for a reward. We have been belittled for simplicity, don't care - but not waiting for collapse. If that happens, we may be lost, unlike those with $$ or their churches(which we quietly, not a weapon) support. Excellent video, wonder though. Austin TX

  4678. My brother just sent me this link didnt know anythi ng about this guy, but very excited to read it as just ordered it !! ❤

  4679. The truth!

  4680. Something very powerful about this message is that it brings together people. It doesn't matter whether you're a part of the Zeitgeist or conspiracy mindsets, it transcends that, so it also trandscends attempts at control and misinformation. It's just maths. It doesn't matter what face there is. It focuses on the issue, offers an easy to comprehend way to solve it, and has a good model for making predictions that will undoubtedly be proven, the only way this will be beaten is by silencing the voices - Which may have hindered, but never halted provable models, just ask Copernicus. Expect resistance, the louder we get the harder it will become. But I think you're right. In the end, we will win... Ecxpet, no ifs from me.

  4681. Fascinating video
    2
  4682. Have a nice holiday Gary, but please wear a helmet: we need you!
    2
  4683. Thanks Gary for explaining the world of economics and the need for change. I'm hopeful like you that people will use this information, unite having realised thier common interests and vote for this change. We may need to all agree on a new political party going forward but your efforts have provided a pathway that could help shape that party. At some point in the future .Do you think you might be able to do a video that goes into the details about the use and function of alternative asset management companies like BlackRock and the impact and change this has had on the world of financial capital and the impact it has caused to our society . Will buy the book
    2
  4684. I'd be such a great billionaire... I only only need... like 1 billion for myself. I'd be happy to give the rest away and fund helpful programs 😂
    2
  4685. You're a legend mate. Saw you on Damien Talks Money. You put a narrative to my long held feelings that things and getting harder and harder I'm sold on the vision. Well done mate, keep it up. One day I hope I can be just as influential. I have a feeling it will take many voices to make meaningful change.
    2
  4686. You're a hero dude. And thank you for speeding up the bs yapping
    2
  4687. We have to find out a way of getting our money back from the super wealthy that there government pals essentially handed to them on a plate

  4690. Your fridge is skinny. Also, good video 😜
    2
  4691. Brilliant concept 👊protecting the middle class from the rich. 😳 Everyone should first see your very first video for context. I was thinking the money printing was not the fault of the rich and they were just on the same train…but wait 🤔 they couldn’t have planned this all right ? Naaahhh….🤨
    2
  4692. Shell companies and corporations... interest and debt repayment against rental income, so they don't look like they earn a lot in terms of net (taxable) income. They should require government officials to disclose their tax returns and any related party ownership structures through corporate registries by piercing the corporate veil.
    2
  4693. LOVE the "No-Face" hoodie. Is that in reference to your journey through understanding the modern economy? Or is that a reference to what see you in capitalism/Western governments?
    2
  4694. Wow I appreciate it man. I didn't expect this video to be like this, but you gave the best advice I've ever gotten
    2
  4695. You are a star Gary
    2
  4696. I just found your channel today Gary. I have to say I really took heart in listening to this. It was an eye opener. We critique ourselves so harshly and we don’t take into consideration that the system is working against us.
    2
  4697. Thanks Gary. Over a thousand views in less than an hour.....there is hope.
    2
  4698. One of the true sane legends operating in the youtube space. Not salty, just a realist.
    2
  4699. Have you also thought about how the rich haven’t only monopolised the world’s wealth, but also its labour. Pretty much all my grandmother’s labour was invested in her family and community, as was the case for most women in her generation. At that time many dads/grandads also had time+energy to invest ‘labour’ in their communities too. But now, because of the ballooning cost of living everyone has to convert all their time/labour into money, generating profits for the rich. So they’ve not only taken our physical goods - they’ve taken our social goods too. No wonder life sucks so much…
    2
  4700. I feel like my world view has flipped today binge watching your videos. I’m an educated (relatively) high earner in tech, paying over 50% tax. I have always been immediately put off any party wanting to increase taxes, as its us wage earners that get screwed constantly. One challenge is, the artificial divide between the lower income earners and the higher income earners, where anyone earning over the average seen as is rich we need to close that divide and show we’re all getting screwed by the super rich accumulating all the assets. We’re all getting poorer. I’m aware our day to day challenges are different (lower income, and higher income people - I grew up poor, I’ve been there) but in the bigger picture we’re all getting screwed. Yea, we can currently buy property but the way things are going even us higher earners will be priced out of property eventually. The big question is, what the hell can we do about it? Other than writing to our local MP and encouraging others to do the same to ask them what they plan to do about wealth inequality. I’m reluctant to get actively involved in politics, but what can we realistically do otherwise?
    2
  4701. Excellent perspectives as always. Thanks for sharing Gaz
    2
  4702. Get paid thanks on the go for donations.
    2
  4703. We have too many selfish well off individuals in press and politics that distract and convince parts of the population that its all the fault of minority of vulnerable people such as immigrants or those on benefits. Getting them to listen to people like you Gary is proving difficult, there's none so deaf as those that will not hear.
    2
  4704. Such a huge skill you have to inform the masses. Full support. Youmake a difference
    2
  4705. Respect from Nepal, for telling the truth, as bare as it is. Hustling, now only feeds you, working harder buys us newer phone (not better) or a newer ride or at most a more lush apartment. I appreciate how you have depicted, with such integrity that Luxury is a birth right nowadays. (Pardon my english: Second language).

  4706. Good on you , 👏 thank you from us all who are on the front line of this new war front that is against us all who are bloody skint! 😳

  4707. Hahaha I love this guy. He said don’t trade. You’re trading against me
    2
  4708. Thanks for everything keep going brother 🙏
    2
  4709.  @garyseconomics  Thanks Gary. And good of you to respond. I see what you mean in one sense. I also want to say I heard you on R4 this morning and I thought you were formidable on that show . I'll maybe respond some more later, but I share your evangelism zeal. Don't get me wrong.
    2
  4710. Do what you got to do mate. I see why you like shorts now 😂 🚲
    2
  4711. So awesome. Never seen a more honest video on trading
    2
  4712. Gosh Kate is utterly intollarable and totally transparent. 'Oh wealth tax is a terrible idea' oh boho poor billionaires/millionaires, what planet is this woman living on! Basically she works for a number of organisations funded by the wealthy few so it's her jobs to reframe the discussions away from wealth tax. I wish think tanks like the so called 'tax payers alliance' were forced to be more transparent about who funds them. It's a total joke that they are allowed to operate as charaties, there is nothing charitable about these organisations. Doing a great job Garry, keep banging on that door, it's gonna be a long struggle with the proliferation of right wing think tanks.
    2
  4713. Gary’s an expert he’s brilliant love this guy!!
    2
  4714. Gary, you are an inspiring person and economist.
    2
  4715. Just stumbled across you bro! Your a G
    2
  4716. Your Fucking Awesome!
    2
  4717. And also: vote in every election, vote for the most progressive candidate that is available, and take every opportunity to tell that candidate that the reason you voted for them was because they were the most progressive candidate. It won't solve the problem but it's a necessary step, and I strongly believe in "diversity of tactics". We won't win if we just do one thing. We have to do everything we can.
    2
  4718. Keep going Garry, you're an inspiration - commitment and clarity to a noble cause! Felt it when you had to pause for a moment in the video.
    2
  4719. Hi Gary , heard you on LBC on Wednesday, found what you said interesting. Will put your book on my birthday list . I’ve just subscribed and listen some more
    2
  4720. It willnbe worst than a recession
    2
  4721. my copy arrived yesterday looking forward to reading it.

  4722. That was really good. Learnt a lot.
    2
  4723. Love this guy you don't get many millionaires wanting to help people & not being greedy we need as many people to get behind this guy with love from Wales
    2
  4724. New to the channel, message spot on Gary. Zero rates really moved asset prices up - many that have those assets sit on them, don’t work and pay zero taxes. The system is sadly broken with no end in sight ☹️
    2
  4725. What a bloke!
    2
  4726. Hello if you can see this comment!
    2
  4727. Exactly what's been happening Gary, so how do you trade & make money from knowing the economy won't get better should be the next video 😉

  4728. Extra marks for no face sweat sweat hoody.

  4729. Thank you for shining a light on the great inequality in our country .Tried to put a like on this clip but for some reason it wasn't possible ! Keep up the good work .

  4732. Clearly the gym is working as looking hencher than 2y ago vids... I wonder if he benches gold plates 😅... Awesome channel!!
    2
  4733. Bro why do I like this guy a lot probably because he speak the truth every video I watch or maybe his a trader and I’m a trader but I’m not at his level but would like to be 1 day
    2
  4734. You've got a living conscience! You are rich with that.
    2
  4735. Gary - or someone like him (with gary's involvement) needs to start a political party and run on the economic policies needed to fix this.
    2
  4736. You are a shill 🤫👍
    2
  4737. Every week the ideas seem to be explained more lucidly. Keep going lad. You'll get the support you need!
    2
  4738. Another banger G!
    2
  4739. Good discussion as usual. Thanks Gary, really helped frame and answer points around why the issues in the monetary systems are really secondary causes after inequality. I believe changes do need to be made to the monetary system given that we have this inequality this won't be undone by government policy alone. Changes to rules around collateralised loans based on financial assets seems like a good place to start. Devaluing currency to play in the stock/FX markets seems unfair to everyday people and a socially non-beneficial practice. I am definitely someone drawn in by the idea that the central bank has caused our economic issues, from a working class background, it's been ingrained not to trust authority & that an institution that wields so much power could be the root cause of "economic suffering" is the perfect scapegoat/boogyman. You're correct as those alt economists do tend to fall short on how wealth distribution would improve in another system. Thanks for at least addressing the point, a lot of economists tend to completely ignore it, on the assumption that they know something you don't and that it can't be understood by the common man.
    2
  4740. Well Gary you need to be the prime minister 👏 you have my vote.
    2
  4741. Looking forward to the audiobook!

  4742. If you have to reduce your output to one video per month, do so. Quality over quantity - always.

  4743. Love this guy ❤
    2
  4744. "A broken game which we have to fix together" ... "You get rich by working together" ... Stop being divided, and reject politicians who steal from you ...
    2
  4745. If I were PM, I'd instantly make an offer to Gary to be a senior economic advisor. His ability to communicate complex financial topics to the masses is unparalleled. He has real insight into the way the economy actually works and would make huge improvements to policy.
    2
  4746. Agreed . I find with the media if you take what they say and turn it up side down you get a better bearing on reality , fuck them plumbs. Is why i watch tings like this init gazman . Come on !!
    2
  4747. Thank you for all you do, but remember to look after yourself as well,
    2
  4748. Enjoy your bike ride Gary. Come back strong 💪

  4755. Great video Gary. Im from the other sode of the water from you, but very similar backgrounds. Such an interesting take. Cheers mate.
    2
  4756. Could the 1.25% rise in employers contribution to National Insurance be considered some kind of tax on the rich?
    2
  4757. OF by popular demand😈🫶🫡💪
    2
  4758. They rely on people like you not being able to tell us how to fix the economy. It stops us from coming for where all the money is. It's a definite tactic. But as with covid, once it affects them, then they will have people like you and economists coming up with ideas to get things running. But only enough to get them to back where they were before hand. I saw you on the news once. And no matter how you tried to express reasons why, and solutions for, they always had to play devil's advocate and talk over or interrupt. Because that's not how the media makes their money. They rely on being able to talk about crisises, and we've reach a stage now where the chair man is a Tory, over lookingz making sure people like you can't tell it how it really is, a lot more people would be asking how he got his job, and what did he have to do. But YouTube is a great platform to start, and a very powerful tool.

  4759. Thank you 🙏

  4760. Good work on the channel, you've inspired me to write my friend a cheque to get started with a lifetime isa as someone's got to help a brother out
    2
  4761. gary you ledge! Bolw the doors down :)
    2
  4762. The difference between Gary and other cultural and economic commentators is that when he talks of problems and continued downward trends, he sounds genuinely concerned. I can easily guess as to why; he didn't grow up in a bubble and knows people who will be directly and badly affected by economic dysfunction and income inequality. Those talking heads on the BBC and on certain other web outlets? Not so much. Respect to the man.
    2
  4763. 2.31 - 2.47 Genius!

  4765. Welcome back, Gary! As you said, 'Let's move forward'😊
    2
  4766. I appreciate that you started with the disclaimer of capitalism/definition because this isn't historic/ political economy definition but is probably the way most people generally think of it. There are deeper issues to be sure.
    2
  4767. We need more people like you in society! 🙏🥰
    2
  4768. Gary, I think what you do is amazing but this lecture in particular challenges all of us to remember that our individual choices are moral and ethical principles that act as pebbles in a landslide. Every decision we make we have to weigh up doing what's best for us vs best for others as well. Perhaps individually we can change things if we all start rowing in the same direction because trying to outdo everyone else leads is to taking ever extreme actions to undercut the competition. That might make someone a Jeff Bezos or an Elon Musk but ultimately that means you're constantly on the lookout to see who's going to usurp you.
    2
  4769. Lecture Grade --- Gold Star! Thanks, Gary.
    2
  4770. Hi Gary, I have followed you since 2021 when Pete Komolafe mentioned you in his videos. You have given me basic knowledge about economics and how it affects our society. We all appreciate the great work you put in for us. If you need any SEO support for your website, I am more than happy to help. Anyway, I hope you have a great and restful holiday in Japan. Take care of yourself

  4773. makes tens of millions as an investment banker isn’t a sellout and consistently gives back to the working class GOAT
    2
  4774. Thanks Gary. I'm one of those that banged on a couple of times but I know your cause is a good one. I guess it would good to have investment skills taught from an early age in schools, as well as critical thinking skills (which is another subject). But the less the kids know about such things the better for these politicians.
    2
  4775. Top-tier content! You have a real talent for this, glad you're enlightening us with these gems.

  4778. I’m going to listen to all your videos and drink in all this information you have shared, before you get so disheartened that you give up! You are in a David and Goliath type situation here! Good Bless

  4787. Fantastic! I come from a poor family. But I earned an MBA, and applied myself, and arrived at this same conclusion. Unfortunately, working together just isn't in the cards for my family. They are skeptical of lawyers and accountants, even if they are required to ensure all parties are protected... But my little brother is interested. I have good friends that are interested in transparent deals.
    2
  4788. Thank you for sharing this message 💯❤️. Appreciated - I'm from from Philippines

  4789. Always good to listen to you Gary

  4790. I binge watched your videos last weekend. The implications of what you say are staggering. Feels like seeing the matrix. Thank you for your good work.
    2
  4791. Well said.

  4792. Keep up your good work....change is possible...I hope

  4794. I wasn't going to watch, as the Prisoner's Dilemma is tired and flawed, but knew Gary would have an interesting take. My irritation with game theory a la Nash came partly after discovering it through sociolinguistics and Grice, Searle, Quine et al. The conversational, and social, aspects are more complex and a lot richer. So the Prisoner's Dilemma feels static, crude, badly designed, and has internal correlation problems. It is no more a study of economic behaviour than sitting on a train facing backwards looking at a clock as the train pulls away at the speed of light is a study of the theory of relativity. It's stylized, figurative, and partial. It's also pointless. Literally it has no point, and no utility. A better take is Roger Myerson's work on multi-stage games with communication, which he uses for auction design - seems simple, but is fiendishly complex to design ab initio. Through stages and information, players adapt and adjust - does everyone know the same thing, are our incentives aligned, is everyone working alone, is cooperation possible, is there deception, under what circumstances is a result acceptable rather than the best outcome? And so on. Myerson won a Nobel prize for that work. Not that anyone seems to remember it!

  4795. How do we get this message in the political discourse?
    2
  4796. Pre-ordered this bad boy!!😅
    2
  4797. another great video,keep it up & in time you will grow ur utube channel
    2
  4798. Worthwhile watching for Australia. We are hard on your heels.
    2
  4799. I recently came across you, and I am blown away about how well you explain issues. Keep up the great work.
    2
  4800. Yes,yes, yes, we need too increase taxes on the rich!!!!
    2
  4801. So succinct. So passionate. Big respect.
    2
  4802. Exactly what I thought, why the f are they talking about lab grown meat on a section about politics and economics?
    2
  4803. ❤ glad you are back tbh, hope is back! 📢
    2
  4804. Love your videos brother! So many economists do NOT understand money or the economy, and do NOT give a fuck about human beings!!!
    2
  4805. You tell 'em Gary. There are none as blind as those that won't see.
    2
  4806. thanks for everything Gary I loved my trips to Tokyo, enjoy your downtime
    2
  4807. "I don't think it would be responsible to tell you" too right. Unless the time frame is quite long it's a mugs game. Talking sense again here. The whole system is a screw up unless your born into wealth
    2
  4808. We take this video and the message as an Important Public Announcement
    2
  4809. To anyone who's interested, I highly recommend a short book by George Monbiot and Peter Hutchinson called 'The Invisble Doctrine'. Superb insight into where we are, how we got here and where we can go as a society. Keep up the good work Gary!! It's fucking important
    2
  4810. Brilliant, if you don't surport the narrative you are prevented from working in your field of knowledge.(That in my twilight years is hard for me to come to terms with) I have put my principles before my financial security (there wasn't much of a choice in those days.) I sometimes have an internal conflict that my family have financial loss due to my personal convictions. What you say about perceived knowledge and actual expertise I totally understand, but that's the way public opinion is corralled. TVs and radio's have often been laught at and shouted at in equal measure as my thirst for information has always been a fixation for me. I have been at this for along time, when opinions for the public good wouldn't have even got near the debate. I have gone from pen and paper to social media platforms. My hope for you on a personal basis is that you get to see the finished work, a society that works for everyone. That's the end game. I am coming to terms that I may not. It is heartening to see that a bright, kind, intuitive youngster like you will be taking that torch forward. I would love to have felt the fireworks of real progress. Take your time and really enjoy it when it arrives. Anyway, I just wanted to say well done, while trying not to sound in anyway condescending. Keep pushing forward. 🎇
    2
  4811. George Orwell’s vibe! ❤
    2
  4812. Good words, GAry. I'm 65 and it is clearer at my end of the trail that you are right. The game is rigged, but equally I find time after time that the people with money are not as happy as I am. I have enouh money (not lots). I have great friends. I am aware of the way things are stacked against the average person, but you can be, as I am, happy. And that, I would argue is our way to win that race. BE contecnt that you know the answer. Sure: you can't change it, but you can still be happier than all of those who can.
    2
  4813. That was amazing. Couple parts where it caught me off guard.
    2
  4814. Hi, cheers from BCN and thanks for opening the eyes of the ordinary people.
    2
  4815.  @garyseconomics  absolutely I will. You are such a great analyst and seem like a great person as well. I cannot believe you only have 3k subs and less than 1000 views on so many vids! That has to change. The combination of morality, intelligence and knowledge of economic matters that you offer is perhaps second to none. If I became PM, you would be my economic advisor, along with Grace Blakeley.
    2
  4816.  @garyseconomics  let's get to 4 million. You deserve it.
    2
  4817. Thanks.
    2
  4818. I read your book. Which is why I joined your channel.
    2
  4819. Hi @garyseconomics, from the other side of the world, New Zealand. Great video with a simple message. Thank you for the work you are doing. It would seem to be clear that what we all should do is just vote for a party that would tax the wealthy, but I just don’t understand why in New Zealand everybody seems to hate the wealth tax. Politicians seem to be struggling to come up with the right policies to do it. As much as I love to vote for a wealth tax, I just couldn’t because the policy was on any asset over 2 million per person. A grandmother who lives in a house now worth over 2 million with no other income would have to pay tax on a property that she owns and is living in herself. I wonder if this is the real problem, politicians not being able to clearly define ways of taxing the wealthy, especially on assets where the price fluctuates and calculating that. I don’t know what wealth tax policies are in UK, but would love to know from anyone.
    2
  4820. Another great video Gary. Can I suggest maybe re-doing your important 1st video. The production values are way lower for it & the sound is not that great. The content is fantastic, but I don’t want anything to interfere with the message. 🙏🏻
    2
  4821.  @garyseconomics I commented just on the headline, the video was a fair play. Cheers

  4822. You’re a working class hero Gary …. I’d love to have a beer and play monopoly with you 👊

  4823. Thanks Gary 🙏🤝

  4824.  @garyseconomics Right on! Can’t wait to see it setup. Thanks for the reply.

  4825. Hi Gary. Been following you since you appeared on Joe. I am in complete agreement with what you say. Have a question on how you feel about the Liberal Democrats? I had basically decided that I would vote either Green or Lib Dem and I've settled on Liberal Democrat as it's the most likely way to remove the Tory MP in my constituency. However, Green policies resonate with me and the way I want the UK to go. I'm pretty despondent with the two party system. Keep up the great work and keep getting that message out there
    2
  4826. Netflix should have a series on Gary and his talks tbh
    2
  4827. Thank You.
    2
  4828.  @garyseconomics  I enjoy your analysis mate. 👍
    2
  4829. So glad I found this channel. Its refreshing to see someone like yourself trying to make a difference and explain things in such an easy way we all can understand. Wish there was more people like you. I very rarely watch news or media because they only tell you what they want to tell you or what the current government want you to know. I watch people like yourself that actually speak the truth. Keep up the great work and thanks for educating us all. 👍
    2
  4830. as always, bless you for your work. as always, common sense is an uncommon virtue.
    2
  4831. I’ve been watching Gary’s vids for a couple of months and now I can’t not see the corruption in this country, it seems to me that when a crisis happens normal people focus on that but the government and their pals are looking how they can exploit that new situation. Covid, Ukrain, even the £66 for our energy bills. We are being bled dry until the next lot take over .

  4832. Jokes on you Gary im in a secured tennacy council flat that's falling apart and filled with mold, i don't have a house to lose. smug face

  4833. where is Robin Hood when we need him most?

  4834. Like having Jeremiah come out of the wilderness, this; or Isaiah, "Is this not the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and to bring the homeless poor into your house?" 58: 6-7. I heard this voice, here, and am moved to tears, and a quiet, deep anger and sorrow. And winter is coming. Thanks for your insight. Tim Long, just up the hill from Lock and Dam 15.

  4835. BIG UP GARY!!

  4836. Excellent, very succinctly put. It's very simple when you listen to this chap
    2
  4837. Gary you are a legend! Bought your trading game book and love your work. I remember you at LSE so it’s awesome to see how you’re making waves today. It’s not an easy battle but your voice cuts through so keep going!
    2
  4838. Plowing through book ....glad you chose not to do cocaine Gary thank god for that. Top man
    2
  4839. Ok im done. Where’s the second book?
    2
  4840. Got your book a 5 oclock this evening. . 5 hours later at the start of chapter 12 i think I better put it down .
    2
  4841. Even in the midst of your rise to fame and recognition, you are still humble and humanly relational. You are demonstrating how to 'be the change you want to see' and all that good stuff.
    2
  4842. Insightful video, thanks Gary from New Zealand - Its happening all around the word - check out Australia!
    2
  4843. That feeling of a nineteen year old Gary, a twenty-one year old Gary etc came across perfectly in the book. I felt it. I listened on audible and it's one of the best books I've come across in a long time. Your interview on freestate podcast is where I heard you first. The world has a future with people like you speaking up Gary. Thank you.

  4849. Gary what you are doing is so incredibly important. Please keep going, we need you.

  4852. Great book! I just started it after reading a review in the London Review of Books. Very compelling read! Wonderfully written!
    2
  4853. Whenever Gary begins with "what you need to understand is..", well, get the popcorn and pull up a chair, 'cause 'ya just know it's gonna be good.
    2
  4854. One of your most important videos yet 👌
    2
  4855. HI, it looks like from Harry Potter film..
    2
  4856. great channel. keep up the good work.
    2
  4857. Good knowledge Gary...thanks
    2
  4858. The book was excellent, it's hard to believe this is your first book. I hope this will be followed up. Good luck Gary
    2
  4859. Maybe this explanation is over-simple, but actually the argument about addressing inequality to boost spending power at the lower levels seems quite persuasive.
    2
  4860. Terrific, good job innovating delivery of content
    2
  4861. Does an audible purchase count towards bestseller list?
    2
  4862.  @garyseconomics  bought both now! Will give the book to my 22 year old son thanks 😄👍🏻
    2
  4863. I'm not an economist, but didn’t Adam Smith propose regulations in favor of the working class to prevent the redistribution of wealth towards the super rich? And that's before Karl Marx! So, it has nothing to do with communism. It's the basis of a healthy economy. Unless someone thinks a neo-feudalism is the way to go
    2
  4864.  @garyseconomics  maybe the reason it's never been done because it's practically so hard. A tax on property, shares, savings... would all produce capital flight unless it was a global measure also stimulating decline. I agree with you but I don't have the imagination to see a viable way to do it. Enjoy your videos and interviews.
    2
  4865. Yooooo Brian Harvey is looking well! When did he get into economics?
    2
  4866. ❤
    2
  4867. I’m always curious as to whose house or apartment he is in. - on another note the book is amazing. I got the audio and Gary narrates it and he brings it to life. Funny, sad, informative and utterly compelling. Thanks man. X
    2
  4868. Ordered from Waterstones. Looking forward to reading.
    2
  4869. I like Gary a lot. He's interested in what works (for society) and what works is collectivism. It's not ideological, it's real.
    2
  4870. Looking forward to reading it! Bring it on!
    2
  4871. Thanks so much for all your vital work on this Gary! It’s vital that this message gets out there.
    2
  4872. Never heard the word “grass” used in that manner before. I guess that’s a British thing maybe. We say snitch in the state.
    2
  4873. I think more and more people are finding out what the truth is, thanks to you. Your focus is amazing
    2
  4874.  @garyseconomics  Same. Being that this may be one of the next driving forces to shape practically everything in our society/world, would be interesting to understand how companies are being incentivised/compensated. I'm not optimistic any of it will work out for the actual environment but understanding the problem is half the solution.
    2
  4875. Thanks Gary!
    2
  4876. At the point when the word 'Rishi Sunak "worked hard"' I had to pause the video and type this comment. To think that is to blindly follow the cultural ideology that not only are people rich because they deserved it, but that they worked hard for it. How hard is it to be born into wealth and priviledge? Answer: it is as hard as being born into poverty. There has been no epoch in human history where the "hardest working" were ever given an equal recompense for their efforts. Those who struggle the most are those historically are awarded the least. Did the coal miners see their fare share of reward for their hard work? No, they saw a comical, hearltess destruction of their communities and their efforts, and they were dirt poor whilst doing so. Gary is a pivotal, much needed media figure because he can go in front of these priviledged people and shine a light of their delusions. The reason why their is so much sustained inequality and poverty is because of the comfort and ignorance that class priviledge brings. Garys economics are not just wishful thinking, they are objective, undisputable conclusions from the study and understanding of the illusory and destructive system of economics that presides over and controls every single person on this planet. If you do not want to see the end of poverty, not even global but nationally, then how can you claim to have anyones interest at heart than your own? Better still, how can you even claim to have humanities interests at heart? That is why I sternly believe not in the "should" but "must" of Gary's efforts to enlighten and change these oppressive systems. How can you disagree with Gary here and claim to be kind, or better yet, human?
    2
  4877. I love you Gary.....itsagood job I'm just an old trout now else I'd prob. end up stalking you ha ha.....but seriously oh lovely one if you ever have to visit Manchester (and i must say M/c university economics students were radically vociferous against the Neo Liberal model of economics being expounded, but that was before covid and I've not heard much from them of late), then you will always be welcome in my home as I have room to spare. Thankyou x

  4878. I had been thinking the same for a decade 👍

  4880. The education aspect is so important. People get zero education on how the real economy works (both macro and micro) throughout their formal studies. But this is such an important subject to know how to move, operate and thrive in society. And I believe this is done on purpose so the masses are easier to trick and manipulate. What you are doing is amazing. The way you explain things is clear and concise even for people who know nothing about the matter (like myself!). I hope you will grow and succeed in your aims.
    2
  4881. I bought the book on Kindle and looking forward to reading

  4882. SOUND BRO

  4883. 1M for Garry by the end of the year
    2
  4884. Beautifully explained and this will only get more relevant moving forward. As an American (transportation planner) living in Pennsylvania, just last week there was several million dollars in grant funding set aside for development of public EV charging stations from the IRA. That is literally gone today. Trump & Co pulled the plug with the insane idea of bringing back coal mining and fracking which is already destroying so much of the region. 😞
    2
  4885. It’s important to take breaks and vacations, Gary. Activists need to take care of themselves, too. ❤ Thank you for all that you’ve doing to educate the world about the need to tax the ultra rich. It’s about justice and fairness! ⚖️
    2
  4886. The red spotty cup hasn't made an appearance recently. Shame.
    2
  4887. 11:40, so kind of like compound interest, but it's just the rich compounding economic and financial misery for the rest of us?
    2
  4888. I was great at economics before university, but I was so disillusioned by my course that I switched to human geography and business. They ignored the real world, so I had to change subjects. My focus was also on inequality. Andy from the meadowell estate.

  4889. Wow- this was a bomb ass vid
    2
  4890. Big up Gary. Great channel. :)
    2
  4891. Your explanation 'clicked' for me this time. I had a sense of it from your previous videos but this time I got it 100%. Thank you for being persistent and concise! I will make a donation to pay back so a few more may hear the message. And GREAT to hear you were introduced to the Holy Scriptures early on, it might be why you are different!! Peace be upon you!
    2
  4892.  @garyseconomics  Very true. I think what you're trying to do is great and really necessary, which is why I think joining forces with, for example, Yanis Varoufakis and his Progressive International, would be a good idea. ;-)
    2
  4893. Congratulations. This is probably the best video about "how to get rich" in the internet.
    2
  4894. Thanks for sharing, Gary. Brilliant.
    2
  4895. I kind of love the fact that this like a "casual kitchen-table conversation" type of style :yougotthis:
    2
  4896.  @garyseconomics  Oh sorry, not UK, Malta. In late 2011 I was looking for a small parcel of land, around 1 acre to try growing some organic crops. Prices were around €50 -60k per acre for purely agricultural land. Now it has gone to above 300k per acre. Land is scarce in Malta but the main reason is it is being sold as 'recreational land'. I know something similar is happening in other countries too.

  4897. Great video thanks mate.

  4898. Watching this while having dinner.

  4900. Congrats on the book, bought it on audible the other day --- highly recommended
    2
  4901. Boom! Well said Gary.
    2
  4902. Sorry you had to go through it, Gary. Though in many ways there was no alternative to your struggles in Japan. Fooked op! It’s such a good read and I appreciate what you are doing more and more.
    2
  4903. What you talk about and how correct you are reminds me of Bill Williamsons from the Rampage movies, he's a little more extreme but the message is the same. If this goes on for too long and nothing changes maybe what he what he says will happen.
    2
  4904. Thank you. Truly. You are a revelation and a force of nature. Hope trader.

  4905. Chin up mate - keep up the good work

  4910.  @garyseconomics  Completely understand your position. Perhaps written text does not demonstrate tone. There is no aggression directed towards them. I have had many discussions with the older generation and an observation is that they are ideologically wedded to the current economic system because they benefitted so handsomely. However, they view their own wealth due to their own hard work rather than in reality an asset accumulation not seen before and a set of favourable economic conditions from the post war consensus (ofcourse the interest rates they suffered was not great in the 80's). When you talk about 2008 with them, many are not critical, understand fully what occured or are happy to go down the same route as before. There is a damaged psyche when it comes to the point of housing that has been manipulated. If you have a political class of landlords, financial institutions (Inc BoE) hell-bent on awful fiscal policies helping asset price inflation, House building in the hands of private housebuilders who understand the profits associated with land banking. Irrespective. Thank you for your informative videos.
    2
  4911. tl;dr: Living in challenging economic times requires a balance of self-care and responsibility towards others, with a focus on preventing further collapse.
    2
  4912. Great piece of teaching. I understood the whole thing in one go. But explain to me this. What's gonna happen to the debt? How does that bit work?
    2
  4913. Lovely message at the end !
    2
  4914. thank you gary

  4915. Maybe immigration will drown out inequality because the super rich run the world by owning everything... The rich have inherited the world 🌍 Imagination story feeds the masses...

  4916. "Maybe memorising answers and not actually learning anything was not that useful!" Quote! Fucking love that! So completely agree with that but find a lot of secondary schools sadly would not.
    2
  4917. This is really fascinating stuff!
    2
  4918. It’s absolutely perverse and the media as usual are complicit at helping the coverup. Thank you for shedding light on this.

  4919. Go get em Gaz🤘

  4920. This isn’t a comment on the video, it’s on Gary’s book, I’ve been in Salzburg all weekend and managed to get through 262 pages - he’s told so many funny stories in it is well worth the read. If you haven’t already invested - go get it! Best book I’ve read in a long time! Chuck through IG the phone on JBs head, hilarious!!
    2
  4921. Love the message Gary.
    2
  4922. You Gary educate people about what money is and more importantly how it works. This stimulates critical thinking at a non political level. That’s quite some fete mate. The establishment has, by design, dumbed down the people. Educate, educate educate. Only this will bring about change and better equality. Massive thanks man👍🍺
    2
  4923. There is no political representation for working people. Those on lower incomes are penalised and blamed the most. 1.25% social care levy is going to hit hard.
    2
  4924. Hi Gary! Thanks so much for coming back. Thanks again for your courage. Massive thanks to your mates who help you spread the message.. and thanks for your honesty! Looking forward to 2025 and your videos. Wish you exit '24 peacefully and flow through '25 with strong health! BigUp and big hug, guys!

  4933. Thanks for speaking up for so many of us who cant. You're doing something really worthwhile with your time and energy. Thank you, keep going.
    2
  4934. Yes Gary so happy for you and the movement!
    2
  4935. Thank you for this! I have found myself wondering about the finances of the UK from time to time, what the future holds and the fact there does not seem to be enough money to pay decent wages, fix potholes, build houses, sustain services etc often has me thinking we are not as wealthy as a country as we think we are. Then I wonder about the wealth of some countries and the poverty of others. I suppose at some level it is all about the way money is shared across the world. But is this the main/only reason? Then more recently, the way politics across the world is so divided has caught my focus. How can things be fixed when around 50% want one thing and the other 50% another; the various attitudes to immigration, policing, education, those in caring roles, the elderly etc. If you were the Prime Minister, what are the main things you would do to change things for the better? Can a Prime Minister make a real difference anymore? Thank you again! Enjoy your deserved break in Japan and come back super duper strong! X

  4936. Dude, you hit on a topic I've been thinking about for a long time now.

  4946. Thanks Gary and totally understand, we've/i've been battering this for around 15+ years now and my wife is very patience with my vocalization.. I've been exposing you to my network and hopefully they listen and pickup on what you're talking about.
    2
  4947. Looking forward to reading The Trading Game!

  4948. this kind of content makes me hopeful that more and more people will gain class consciousness, and we all know how desperately needed that currently is. Great stuff as always Gary 🫡

  4954. you are like an economic angel

  4955. The quality of western democracies depends on the people. Everyone in the comments congratulates Gary for what he is doing. Now imagine what would happen if everyone else stood up and did exactly the same.
    2
  4956. Brilliant again Gary
    2
  4957. God this video is Soooooo important
    2
  4958. 7:43 well, part of that is also almost certainly astroturfing by bots. Controlling the narrative in online comment sections and twitter is much easier than controlling the facts on the ground, or presenting a narrative with audio-visual media. Just brigade your narrative and downvote/report anything contrary. Easy to do with even just a few tens of thousands of accounts, which billionaires can easily purchase and hire someone to operate discreetly through a few LLCs. At first, the bots were very obvious, but with the rise of predictive text AI, it is harder to know for sure whether someone is a real person or a bot. They have all the data they need to not just repeat common talking points, but to even emulate certain human mannerisms and defensive behaviors.
    2
  4959. Watching from Australia Great video Gary Been going through your videos really educational and excellent
    2
  4960. big cudos to Garry for letting the other participants finish their arguments. extremely patient reaction to the amount of BS displayed.
    2
  4961. I appreciate you.
    2
  4962. Gary for PM 🙏
    2
  4963. Have you considered paid video reach? You could run ads to show your video before similar other videos and also on social media. Happy to help. I have been doing this for 7+ years. Andy
    2
  4964. Missed you and your program so much. Can’t wait for your book and seeing you at your book signing later in March. 😊
    2
  4965. Big new fan! Same thing happening in Australia (which only a heartbeat ago prided itself on everyone getting a 'fair go')
    2
  4966. I started off seeing your face in various political videos and I just thought "ah another Marxist". This as a working class guy with no money or assets. Then when YouTube shorts started putting your own content in my stream and it was all good analysis. So I started liking your the shorts and eventually watched a full video. I as a left leaning working class guy initially wanted to distance my self from content that addresses the redistribution of wealth. What does that say about the state of political discourse today? As you addressed previously think tanks are funded and we don't even seem to understand how effective they are at skewing the political landscape. Thank you for sticking with what you are doing
    2
  4967. Man of the people
    2
  4968. Thanks for your honesty Gary. Appreciate you had the compassion for humanity to step away and do something. That says a lot about you. Would love to read about the problems and hopefully solutions in this book.
    2
  4969. Could have graphs being up bit longer...Im not thick xx
    2
  4970. You are brillant Thank you for caring about us x
    2
  4971. Could just delete the money taxed. That alone would be de inflationary and limit the ultra wealthiest ability to continue accruing more and more assets. Technically money taxed back in is not the same as money then issued in the budget. Governments budget is a political decision, tax just writes off what was already issued before. Want different political decisions be more politically engaged population.
    2
  4972. Public debt just means that private interests have that money. “The government is in debt!” Yeah,,, because it’s been a policy choice to print during disasters, but never to recollect and destroy that same cash during the surplus times.
    2
  4973. 2 years on and you are completely correct. Wow!

  4974. no glazin but u my favourite channel fr. love

  4977.  @garyseconomics  thanks Gary. You’ve both enlightened me and terrified me since watching your interviews yesterday.

  4978. Great video. Thank you.

  4979. 🔥🔥🔥
    2
  4980. Wow, can’t believe after all the videos on inflation I’ve seen, this is the first time I’ve heard about the vicious cycle of central banks trying to combat deflation from income inequality with inflationary policy that produces more income inequality.
    2
  4981. I don't see many ways to improve the situation other than getting your videos more traction, getting the message out to tax the rich and trickling the message into the Labour party. So here's my comment and like as a little contribution. Thanks for the video Gary.
    2
  4982. I feel there is away to get politicians to recognise and act on the growing wealth inequality. It worked in the past after WW2 in another European country successfully. The same tactic can be used for your goal
    2
  4983. I hope you have/will find some healing to your heart in your break in Japan. Thank you for sharing this wonderful lecture - it’s brutal but has actually made me feel a little less alone in the world. Sometimes I wonder why more people don’t see the world like this - why the greed, lies and corruption continues to eat away at society and how and why so little is said or done to halt it or reverse it. And then I also become disillusioned and depressed the more I see - the more I see the more exhausted I get and as I watch more people choosing not to see or care I wonder if that might be an easier way to exist. But then I watch a video by someone like you who has been fighting and doing so well but looks so defeated and it gives me the resolve to stay strong for those who can’t do that right now but want to …. and I hope that so many of the comments on here show you that you are not alone & you also don’t have to take on the fight alone but I also hope it reminded you to take care of yourself and your heart - even the most dedicated, skilled and fearsome warrior can’t fight their best fight if they don’t take care of themselves ❤️

  4996. Thanks for yet another great video!

  4997. Gary, you are an absolute breath of fresh air 👏👏👏👏 Unless we stop this “Left-Right” divide (which absolutely suits the mega-wealthy perfectly) then we are well and truly F****d. I would describe myself as a “conservative (small ‘c’ ) christian (small ‘c’) Social Democrat. I LOATHE the “Liberal Left” as much as they loath the “Centre-Right”, but in reality, we agree on 90%plus. If we carry on demonising “them”, rather than pulling together, we’re doomed. Thanks again Gary 👏👏👏👏👏

  5000. TAX THE RICH!!!!!!!
    2
  5001. 💪💪
    2
  5002. So how exactly are bankers getting a tax break/cut?
    2
  5003. Excellent message delivered concisely. Reading your book at the moment here in the US (UK born, raised and educated at State schools and Uni) and nodding along. You describe what I see as the American Dream problem here where everyone thinks they will be rich at some point so taxes are bad. This is used cynically by the Right in the US to keep the (dirt) poor on their side. That and a heavy dose of racist dog whistling.
    2
  5004. What do you think about Bitcoin? I think it is a Ponzi scheme
    2
  5005.  @garyseconomics  great channel. You are an honest man... I feel your pain but I am in the medical field instead... We have many problems in it as well..I on the other hand can't speak freely like you do
    2
  5006. Gary, it’s great you’ve taken the time to write a book. Thanks. However, your discount code at Waterstones takes off the £5 as expected, but weirdly adds back in the cost of postage that was free without the discount… So only £2 discount in the end 😢 Maybe you could check with them if it’s a mistake? Thanks again.
    2
  5007. Lots of respect for saying this won't be be fixed quickly
    2
  5008. Well deserved break good to have you back. Keep going mate. I been sharing the vids to friends and family so they can understand what's going on. Proud to you're from East
    2
  5009. Protect this man at all costs

  5010. Top man gary

  5011. Gary for PM
    2
  5012. Great channel Gary.
    2
  5013. Great video. I'm learning so much.
    2
  5014. Gary can be depended on to tell the truth about money, wealth, and crypto. So much sense in such a short, punchy video!
    2
  5015. one trick pony much?
    2
  5016. Nice video
    2
  5017. Thanks for talking shop so candidly, mate, putting some valuable info out there. You're doing a great job, I much appreciate it!
    2
  5018. Isn’t this exactly why Universal Basic Income would be a bad idea right now? It will just end up pooling in the same place?
    2
  5019. Very down to earth and realistic.
    2
  5020. I've just got back from a reunion of friends I went to university with 40 years ago. There was millions in wealth around that table yet most of us started on full grants because our parents were means tested and didn't meet the threshold for paying tuition and fees. That was based on the post-WW2 collectivism that brought in the NHS and quality (higher) education for all and it worked. I coincidently made the last payment on my mortgage today, which was only possible because I started out being sponsored by the UK tax payer. That system worked and needs to be rebuilt by taxing the rich (including myself and my friends) and reinvesting in the next generation.
    2
  5021. Each of your videos I find refreshing and very inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work
    2
  5022. Tax the rich.
    2
  5023. Daily Mail’s money section has done a couple of articles on Gary, the comments section is about 50% supportive, which is way higher than I expected
    2
  5024. Watch this space bro. We got to talk. Not yet though🤘
    2
  5025. Cup of Tea in hand . Put the world to rights .. nice one !
    2
  5026. Big ups to you Gaz... Bought the studio book, loved your Scouse accent Billy the Hero... My home town... Now the next chapter... How to right the Kleptocracy..... Let's get it done
    2
  5027. Very good video!
    2
  5028. This was amazing. Thank you.
    2
  5029. The "Trickle Down" rhetoric has been used to manipulate non rich people to believe that tax the rich more will be bad for the economy as a whole.
    2
  5030. Thank you white tshirt guy to never stop nodding
    2
  5031. Awesome video Gary! This is exactly what happens in Brazil as well, i would suggest a video about politics and economy of Brazil is a deep deep rabit hole, last year the far right almost accomplished a coup by trying to kill members of our supreme court and poisoning our labor party president
    2
  5032. WE ARE SO BACK
    2
  5033. He’s so right I don’t know why he’s not listened to more
    2
  5034. Great to see and hear you again Gary, keep the video's and books coming great work
    2
  5035. Well deserved holiday mate, refresh and continue what you’re doing. I throw in a few bob, I’m not wealthy but if everyone chips in a bit it’ll go a long way. 👌🏼
    2
  5036. What a phrase - capitalism isn’t one person one vote, it’s one pound one vote! - I’ve never heard it said better. So I used to be a sculptor. Switched to art & about 15 years ago. I thought I’d do a little business selling prints cheap. 10£ a pop. people could frame them themselves to make it affordable. All signed. I would go to markets up and down the country. & my gf sold them in cape cod when she was over there for her summer photography business. It was a disaster. People would come up & say how much they loved both types of prints ( teddybears & architecture & fishing scenes. ) but we found few people would ever buy stuff. I didn’t understand. A few years before I’d been doing custom installations for rich people for serious money. The whole idea was well it cheap so your average person could buy some art. Cause being around rich people was getting me down. & I’d do, paint and even light an installation then never see it again because it’s in some millionaires house. What I found was this. People still love art. But the working class ( of which I’m one ) are so siphoned of money that the idea of buying even cheap art is a dying idea. So what you are saying is right. & even more so now that it was 10+ years ago. The rich have taken all surplus wealth from the poor & they have absolutely no buying power. So a whole industry has formed around servicing the rich. It’s the death spiral of society we see. & I saw it 1st hand. - amazing work 👍🏻
    2
  5037. It's mad well cause to me and everyone i know having 60k for a deposit is rich. Im lucky not to be in the overdraft at the end of the month 😅
    2
  5038. Gary, heard you on BBC R4 on Saturday. Good show mate. You on Twatter, if so what's your Twatter handle? They soon shut you down when you said 'push back' Just reading the tories saying they can't help everyone.... Yet they've enough to help themselves. Interesting how your 'big bet' was based upon not seeing any trickle down effect whalst fat cats got fatter. Best performer worldwide! Great effort mate.
    2
  5039. I don't KNOW what I would do Gary JESUS
    2
  5040. amazing book gary, just finished it and it was one of the best ive read. So interesting to see how that industry affects people in so many ways
    2
  5041. First they ignore you, then they will attack you, finally they build monuments to you. Nicholas Klein 1914. Be prepared as your profile grows you may come under personal criticism. Last stage maybe an action figure or a video game if you achieve your goal you definitely deserve to be in the wealth tax bracket 👍
    2
  5042. I just bought it and will become bedtime reading. Most people read romance novels; I read economics and politics books.
    2
  5043. Garry is the berries! 🙂
    2
  5044. wow, I know him only as the British husband on Instagram (I follow his wife 😂)
    2
  5045. You're like the Jamie Oliver of Economics
    2
  5046. Love you Gary. Dark times ahead.
    2
  5047. Very interesting, thanks a lot for the work
    2
  5048. Another brilliant video, great explanation and more people need to know this stuff. The owners know this and now its Gary's time to explain all this to ordinary folk
    2
  5049. Great insights man!
    2
  5050. I just bought your book. Will arrive later this month. Can’t wait.
    2
  5051. try and get on the rest is politics if possible - would be an interesting episode/ potential for debate and would help grow your channel 👍
    2
  5052. Really good explanation. Thanks for the video.
    2
  5053. More people need to watch these videos
    2
  5054. Liked with comment and shared
    2
  5055. We'll said!!
    2
  5056. Everybody, have a look at the Politics Joe interview with Bernie Sanders. It's called "Bernie Sanders spells out why capitalism is failing". This is what's in store for us if Wealth Inequality isn't tackled. I tried to raise Wealth Inequality on Question Time on Thursday. Hardly any response. I must try harder.
    2
  5057. Hey Gary, question for you. Have you ever thought about getting into politics? The country needs a guy like you fighting for the average Joe Bloggs. Keep up the great content and spreading the knowledge 👏🏿👏🏿
    2
  5058. So glad you’re back as I was getting worried that you’d stopped punching. On board with Patreon. Thanks so much for your message Gary. Please can you look at private healthcare’s relationship with economic growth yet lower good health outcomes. I believe Jo Stiglitz is hot on this vis—a-vis the US system. It’s where that crafty weasel Wes Streeting is going. Excuse me please I’m in no way teaching you to suck eggs, you’re great. 👍
    2
  5059. Man of the people
    2
  5060. The kicker should be you have to buy this monopoly money trash with "real" currency,dollars, pounds , yen euro's etc.Why would the value of crypto go up or down ?.If everybody decided to cash in their crypto holdings at the same time...
    2
  5061. So glad you’re back, bigger and better, Gary! You’re one of the few people giving me hope at the moment. Thank you 😊
    2
  5062. Well Geary I've always believed what you have to say. But I just watched Britain's most expensive homes. They stayed why do billionaires have mortgages, the answer is on a 5% mortgage they get 3% in there pocket.. this has to change.
    2
  5063. Fight for your country Lad, or lose it
    2
  5064. holy smokes, i think i first came across your internet presence in the insider video of the interest rate trader. Didn't give it much thought even though it was interesting, never had interest in Forex and interest rates, but mostly myself having an obsession dabbing in stocks, options, and futures and still not successful over a decade. It wasn't until by some coincidence came across you again in some video mentioning your book and audible. Wow after listening to the book, it blew my mind, I was always curious how bank traders and large fund traded, but didn't expect the scale and immensity allowed by even junior traders and loss limits. The recklessness and cautiousness, but ultimately the eat what you kill mentality etc. being through it all. I can imagine we almost relate. Seeing how flashy and materialistic people can be when coming in to money, but also there are those that can live the mundane life just wanting to accumulate enough wealth to live thru life without the fear of the experience of poverty again. The disgust and the absurdity of people flaunting the rich lifestyle and doing non sense things to win favors. I can also see the dilemma of being a trader for a large institution, people putting on mask, and the games being played. In one end you are ambitious and eager to work hard to be rich by making larges profits for the banks and hope to get a sizeable bonus, however on the other end, because large companies are structured with management, ultimately you are to answer to your superior. Irony is the trader taking the maximum risk, while management can influence/ interfere with your outcome without a single ounce of thought to your risk and health. Mix with a volatile combination of winning/losing traders in the firm, the awkwardness of your peers and bosses who are in the red, while you are green. The worse is the politics, banks trying to get away with not providing the bonus or stretching it out multiple years. Anyway I had some eureka moments when reading your contents, and will look to apply them.
    2
  5065. When I was in vacation I see what you are talking, I was asking myself: ¿Why there are no places to have fun in this city? It should be more places opened. Its because, restaurants, etc are closing because poor people does not have money to spend.
    2
  5066. no cap you should get a better camera
    2
  5067. Great to see you back Gary. Good luck with everything. Sounds like it is all under control. Book pre-ordered 😊
    2
  5068. This is Gary, Gary looks behind all the superficial bullshit we are fed. Gary uses his brain. Be more Gary.
    2
  5069. TOP MAN! FFS run for PM Gary!

  5070. Bump

  5071. Working on a book? I'll be the first to buy it Gary! You mentioned this before somewhere but income taxes are deducted at source and are easy to understand and collect but wealth taxes are charged after the event so much more difficult to get and enforce. You probably are aware of the big investigation at the moment on so called cum ex trading and the loss of billions apparently on non payment of withholding tax throughout Europe. Isn't the real issue here is that the money or tax is paid 'after the event' so plenty of time to figure out ways to avoid? Should a dividend tax for example be deducted at source by the company giving it? Wealth taxes, if that is the correct term will have to be streamlined and made easy to understand otherwise they just won't get political traction.
    2
  5072. new subscriber here. The content on your Channel are so invaluable! wow - thank you for your willingness to share your wisdom and for your time.
    2
  5073. Getting vibes of my degree in physics--became so math heavy, entered a PhD program and it became basically nothing but math with barely any connection to the physical world at all anymore. Great life decision to peace out a year into the PhD program and pivot to software engineering.
    2
  5074. Austerity has been proven to not work basically anywhere. Not only does it not work but it also never stops, just turns into the old manipulative "tricle down economy" game. There is more than enough moeny to go around. More than 36 trillion USD is sitting in offshore accounts, the rich are so rich that they couldn't even spend their own money if they had 400 lives. Heavy taxing, green and socially democratic policies are a must if we want to get rid of the neoliberal havoc that is wrecking and extorting the average Joe.
    2
  5075. absolutely loving your videos Gary! As someone who doesn't live in the UK, this is so applicable to my part of the world and the issues we are facing, but I think we are slightly behind where the UK is in terms of not having just had many years of austerity. In my country NZ, we have just voted in a political coalition that is bringing in the same policies that have totally failed in the UK and have convinced people to vote against their own interests.
    2
  5076. So the whole prisoners dilemma is based on an assumption. Garbage In Garbage Out. "People are selfish" tells you more about the economists than it does about anything else.
    2
  5077. been saying this forever
    2
  5078. Gary, in that hoodie you like like a monk bearing news of doom. It's not a good look. try a pink bandanna!
    2
  5079. Congratulations 🎉 on your book being #1 best seller 😁
    2
  5080. Another gorgeous post! Thank you so much for your concern, passion, and caring. I was never that interested in "economics" as a student, probably because I didn't see my own working class background reflected there. You have definitely changed my outlook! I am inspired! We are not necessarily inherently selfish.
    2
  5081. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 What a guy!
    2
  5082. Holy shit discovering this Channel is like a reawakening. This message needs to get out there. We need to get this man on JRE (11million viewers per episode)
    2
  5083. Thank you...excellent video, you summed it up perfectly... exactly what I have been feeling and had come realise over the last twenty or so years.. but you put it into the words I could not.
    2
  5084. This is real economics. Not the complete and utter horsesh*t we get from the central bank, fed, IMF, and the asset holder class. Thank you.
    2
  5085. Where on earth have you been. Needed to hear more trustworthy realness ages ago.
    2
  5086. The last 5 minutes of this video are the most important words I’ve heard in a very long time. Great work Gary
    2
  5087. Well said 👏👏👏👏
    2
  5088. Great video Gary, but what I don’t get is how the rich have got so complacent? Surely they realise if they take all out disposable income. Then the economy will crash and shrink. I know many of the rich aren’t tide to Britain. But many are very patriotic and care about the countries standing in the world. Also surely there’s only so far you can push the lower classes. However maybe they realise due to Netflix and various short term gratification dopamine hits people just put up with their lives slowly deteriorating. I mean covid 19 showed the public will pretty much put up with whatever now.
    2
  5089. I’ve watched all your new videos since I found the channel a couple of years back but have never watched the first one, so this was much appreciated! The inflation prediction hit hard 😢 Keep up the good fight!
    2
  5090. Great work Gary and all the team, a relentless rise long may it continue 💪
    2
  5091. Go on Gary take a well earned break mate you've been smashing it for time
    2
  5092. Miss you Gaz
    2
  5093. Good stuff. I enjoyed the book.
    2
  5094. THIS IS STILL Relevant till this day wow, May God bless you man🙌👏
    2
  5095. I'm late to the show, but i'm glad i found your channel Gary.
    2
  5096. I get very depressed when I hear this time and again about the money given to the rich by the government (some of whom are also millionaires) again and again and nothing is done about it. To know that the government knows this, and knows what it's doing when it decides to "borrow" money rather than tax the very wealthy and corporations: it knows it's giving more money to themselves and their rich pals: it is a deliberate policy of sucking money out of the economy into the private accounts of the wealthy. The media isn't blindsided: I put it to you Gary that it is in the know; because it's largely billionaire-owned so it will only tell people what it wants them to know. The Financial Times is a rich man's and woman's paper which most people don't buy, but it will nonetheless tell the truth about wealth. Things are getting worse in Britain. As someone rightly said: how can we keep saying we are the 5th richest economy when with each day that passes the people of Britain are getting less and less of the benefits of all that a "rich" economy provides?
    2
  5097. How would you tax the super rich? And how would you rate each political party in terms of working towards/against the solution to this problem?
    2
  5098. You have no idea how satisfying this was to hear
    2
  5099. Most real video about how to get rich
    2
  5100. I've only just discovered your channel and I am really enjoying it. I might have to check out your book. It seems to me that when the super rich get more money it doesn't circulate like it does when the rest of us get more money. If that makes sense?
    2
  5101. My copy arrived on Wednesday (March 6) and by Thursday I'd finished it. I couldn't put it down. It's not just a fascinating story, it's also very well written. Always rivetting, sometimes funny, and (especially towards the end) sometimes very sad. It certainly deserves to reach no. 1 in the charts. I really hope you'll go on to write a sequel about your time at Oxford University! Very best wishes.
    2
  5102. well done, Gary
    2
  5103. Gary is the only person I can sit and listen to for hours on this
    2
  5104. I’m trying Gary and I know all your listeners are - thank you 🙏🏻
    2
  5105. Checking out your backlog….🧐🤔
    2
  5106. Gary's brilliant and his work is essential, but I'd like to add to what he said. If you feel like you can't go on, ask for help. Talk to your friends or anyone else who will listen to you without judgment. It has worked for me, and I'm a complete knucklehead.
    2
  5107. I worked this out some time ago. I just couldn't put it into words. Your very good at explaining these things
    2
  5108. So to summarise, by working together and protecting your people. Sounds like permaculture. Nothing wrong with that.
    2
  5109. Brilliant collab. Great stuff chaps, can't wait to see your channels benefit from it and spread these messages! 👏👏
    2
  5110. Have a great holiday Gary and thank you. In reply to Mr Needle I'd say the deep wealth is protected by magnets who run most media, papers to broadcast to Internet so they will resist moves to lessen their monies at every step. They will push narratives of immigrants or refugees then drugs or poor character in the workers being responsible on and on endlessly. Possibly talk to Me Needle?
    2
  5111. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    2
  5112. This is what I needed to hear today my friend. Thank you
    2
  5113. @ yes sir indeed! Still watching your talk now mate! No kidding just found your video today on Insider, and I'm down the rabbit hole man! You literally answer all my questions of how the world is post 2020! Thank you so much my friend, Good health and God bless greet from Indonesia! *I have families in UK half Indonesian there my aunt uncle and cousins and nephews haha cheers mate!
    2
  5114. Fantastic, well done 👍 I descovered Gary on Russell Brand"s channel. Thank you Gary, waiting for more videoes.
    2
  5115. Another great video gary!!!
    2
  5116. Do Audible purchases count towards the numbers?
    2
  5117. This is a perfectly clear, logical explanation of exactly what's happening. If you somehow could spread it into and around the shire counties and suburbs of England, they would hear the words but they would be unable to assimilate and face the meaning and the implications. A socially or nationally conditioned mental block steps in and reinforces a faith in a status quo that might feel like treason to criticise. It's particularly an aspect of Englishness. I've no idea how you tackle it.
    2
  5118. This is great content
    2
  5119. Commenting to help with reach
    2
  5120. Great production Gary, Simran - can we get music in credits please? Also Gary, what is your opinion on Bill Mitchell's work? He often has opinions on UK economics I think make things clear.
    2
  5121. Tax the rich and stop printing money or else a collapse in the markets is inevitable
    2
  5122. Gary, you always manage to bring a smile to my face, even when talking about the subject that seems even worse than climate change - the root is the same ofc. What you described when talking about going back and dealing with past traumas... I think everyone owes it to themselves to try to take care of themselves in that way and while we're at it, we might as well ask for some help too because those things aren't easy. I can recommend it to everyone! Trauma is not just a near-death experience as many psychologists seem to think. Anyways, thanks for the economic lessons, they've been hugely interesting to a young person (28) trying to make sense of the world. Hope to speak to you sometime in the Netherlands if you ever do an event here, but I hope you're too busy in your wealth inequality fight! I've been able to turn a few friends onto your channel and will have to order a few copies too!
    2
  5123. It’s the truth you speak!
    2
  5124. This is so awesome! Congratulations on the deal and on writing the book! Even when it's a passion, writing is a labor of love and takes a lot of willpower so be sure to celebrate 🍻 I remember thinking you should write a book when I first came across your videos. I'm not sure what I'm more excited about - getting to read it or getting to watch and engage in the societal/political energy and movement! While it sounds like you've been building a heck of a team, if you happen to still need a copywriter and/or someone in America to help with social media marketing on either side of the pond, feel free to reach out!
    2
  5125. this is exactly right, and so good on trying to understand trump, musk, the republican party in the us in general. Thank you
    2
  5126. How are you fighting against it other than speaking about it?
    2
  5127. Absolutely fantastic. 👏👏👏
    2
  5128. There’s a lot of people keen Keep going
    2
  5129. Gary, I'm 36 now, and I can't tell you how much these videos are putting into words all the issues I've been contemplating over the last few years, especially when considering the massive inequalities that are at the heart of our society, and even when daring to consider (somewhat selfishly, it often feels) getting on the property ladder myself. As part of my career, I've done research in some of the world's poorest countries, including Nepal and Timor-Leste, and was really humbled by the people I met there. Although on a material level, they had nothing, they approached life in such a different way. Not to romanticise it, but people there help each other out and issues like homelessness barely exist. Shame on the UK, a supposedly 'developed' country and how this sick system is leading many people to live from pay cheque to pay cheque, and basically to lose all their empathy... I honestly don't have much hope with the current Labour government. It'll be more of the same I'd say; a bit more focus on concerns that relate to ordinary people. But really, we need a much more radical change, and I am with you on taxing the ultra rich. Please do keep all your good work up. It inspires me to believe there might be another way if we come together and fight for it.

  5130. Poor people are deep inside happy as they are not greedy and parasitic and they have the biggest heart ❣️ I am proud to be poor and never looked for rich husband but good intentions and attitude. I am very content and satisfied with the little I have and enjoying the little things especially the one for free. My friends are precious and we support each other and have fun together. I never wanted to be rich physically but in my heart ❣️
    2
  5131. Gary. You put clearly and eloquently into words what I’ve been increasingly feeling for the last decade. I’m not rich, I’m a healthcare worker so far from it but I get an insight into the wealth gap through my work that most don’t. The clever thing the rich do is they hide in plain sight; I don’t think working people generally comprehend just how much wealth is concentrated to the 1%, so arguments of austerity gain traction with them even when it’s blatantly harmful to them. You’re amazing. I want to help. I’ve been sharing your videos with anyone who’ll listen to me, but I want to do more. Keep it up. Looking forward to the book 👍
    2
  5132. You're doing a really good thing, thanks.
    2
  5133. Just bought it. Thanks Gary looking forward to reading it.
    2
  5134. Why you Gary? Because of your heart and love. Truth, honesty, humility…you are making a difference. Hope will be realised and the promises fulfilled. Rev 21:3-5.
    2
  5135. Excellent as always.
    2
  5136. Most sensible economics video I have ever seen on YouTube. House prices in the U.K. are clearly far too high in comparison to wages. You can only fix that in 2 ways and 1 of those ways bankrupts anyone with a big mortgage…. So let wages inflate!!! Absolutely love your work mate you should do an interview with David McWilliams.
    2
  5137. The Jamie Oliver of finance is everywhere 🤔
    2
  5138. I think problem is that when we want to tax rich essentially most people think of high earners. I would consider myself earning good money but it is all income from my hard work. We should tax wealth and not people who have high salaries that are easily taxable.
    2
  5139. This is a very powerful speech

  5141. Thatcher's TINA (there is no alternative) has brainwashed economists/politicians into believing that the form of Capitalism that Thatcher espoused is the only way but in fact it isn't and there are alternatives such as the Scandinavian models where people are paid a good wage so they are satisfied with what they have, they are educated to understand that their taxes are a benefit to society so they are happy to pay tax, I do think that lots of tax is hidden tax so that even those who are comfortable feel that they are just about managing so they resent paying tax because it isn't perceived as helping society just being given to the richest who are parasites.
    2
  5142. Great video! Keep going Gary...
    2
  5143. From your lips to American ears. Please. Come speak our congress
    2
  5144. I like your approach to mental health especially of the young. I am rich beyond my wildest dreams, in every way but financially!! But how lucky that makes me compared to most ;^)
    2
  5145. Why doesn't the Labour party not point any of this out? The media are constantly hammering on about how we'll have to pay more tax if Labour gets in power. But they should be talking about taxing wealth not income. Less easy to frighten the average middle class person with that
    2
  5146. Really good information. Let’s change the rules.
    2
  5147. Well deserved💚🤘
    2
  5148. Just ordered your book Gary! Really looking forward to reading it, you are great at explaining everything, keep up the good work, best wishes Julie x
    2
  5149. Great video...subscribed❤
    2
  5150. Gary for PM
    2
  5151. Such a great idea, Gary. Greetings from Romania.
    2
  5152. Correction…just bought my copy. Hope it makes number 1 🤞🏽can’t think of many books that gave the chance to save a nation. Good luck Gary!
    2
  5153. Not me buying up assets when I saw your video last year. Cheers.
    2
  5154. You have such a clear understanding of where we are. But so much misinformation being spread.
    2
  5155. Gary can do more in two sentences that the entire Westminster circus has done in the past 50 years! Explain and convince!
    2
  5156. So glad that you are making the attempt to use your influence to make positive change. Is Especially important with advancement of AI and robotics.
    2
  5157. Just found your channel. Lots of food for thought. Keep going and I hope you had a good holiday.
    2
  5158. Like if you want Jeremy Hunt (the last Conservative Party’s Chancellor of the Exchequer) or the current shadow Chancellor (Mel Stride) to debate Gary
    2
  5159. Thanks Gary. Your videos are so great I give them a thumbs up as soon as I start watching as I’m that certain I’ll enjoy and benefit from them. Keep it up 👍🏼
    2
  5160. ooh interesting I came too a similar conclusion when I was 16 year old chemistry student. I said that "money" itself was worthless, by which I meant that money itself is imaginary in the mind of humanity. Its value made real through agreements between the people of the world and the centralbanks. My classmates thought I was weird when I said that money is just contracts and agreements of value. I've always said. I never want to be in debt, I want the banks to owe me money instead. Ofcourse you explain it much better and on a global scale.
    2
  5161. It's easy. Crash course world history 229 and it's funny you spoke to a Dutch guy. Doe hem maar de groeten van me ;-)
    2
  5162. This is spot on imho, I grew up in America learning about the trickle down effect, you give rich people money they make jobs and pull up everyone with them. Except that never happens, they just buy up all the real estate hike up prices and then replace your job with AI and employ illegals to work on their homes. Real estate here in America is the best way to hide money, since you can depreciate the house against your income rich people will never pay tax as a result. Not sure taxing them will do anything, since that money isn’t used to do anything productive and will expand political corruption. Real estate tax law certainly needs to be reformed but never will be.
    2
  5163. Dude was right about election results...
    2
  5164. Amazing take
    2
  5165. Another excellent talk Gary x
    2
  5166. Great video, great movement.
    2
  5167. You have an ability to really put into words things that i think a lot of people are aware of but simply dont know how to express. People know something is wrong but they don't know what or how. What you say about being able to politically engage makes so much sense. Our vote basically makes no difference, but by communicating with others, we can start a new movement, party, whatever, that might be able to make real change
    2
  5168. Thank You.
    2
  5169. I really hope you succeed in educating the masses about money and how people get rich because they basically inherit the money
    2
  5170. The wealth distribution angle explains so much. This is truly an enlightenment to analyse the world in that light. A sad one too. Why post 2nd World War were people more keen on sharing wealth and "socialism"? What has changed since and how to get back to that state and that willingness to pull together as a society?
    2
  5171. That's one of your best. Thanks so much Gary for your clarity. What do you think of the Elon Musk (DOGE shenanigan's) and Trumps desire to dump NATO and Europe - regardless of authoritarian advantage? Are the Super Rich engineering this? Is it the inevitable demise of a chaotic democratic economy versus an organized capito-socialist economy? Are the politicians and religious leaders passing the wealth of democracy over to authoritarianism via the Super Rich, because they see technology turning democracy into unstable puppet societies?
    2
  5172. Gary, you are The Man, a true People's Economist. As a working man with some wits about him, I have great respect for your channel. Here you are breaking down complex ideas for everyone, so that all can see what is truly going on. And you have the credentials to back it up. Without guys like you it is easy to fall for the bullshit.
    2
  5173. Wow
    2
  5174. Good point about interest rates. I am no economist but I have had it up to my neck with what I call 'Joystick Economics'. It clearly hasn't worked but they won't change.
    2
  5175. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  5176. Your amazing keep it up bro!!!👍👍👍
    2
  5177. how to get rich❌ you will never get rich✅
    2
  5178. love the book Gary, Love the education you are providing - Great work & be proud of your efforts.
    2
  5179. Problem is the working class ate do busy trying to survive we must tax super rich pandemic it was wirkers that were needed i got £1 extra hour for working in a covid area disgusting gary is brill
    2
  5180. Gary, isn’t it always better to buy because you pay less in interest than rent? Some of the mortgage goes to paying off the house which you Will eventually own that asset. But with renting it’s just paying rent. You will never own that property. Also love you videos. Watched nearly all x
    2
  5181. I am a female viewer and happy to recommand this channel.
    2
  5182. Top man.😊
    2
  5183. Really appreciate these videos- keep up the good work!
    2
  5184. 9:15 this is so true, I used to do this with people who were anti immigration, but shouting at people and calling them racist doesn’t convince them of your argument
    2
  5185. Ok you explained later in the video the tips you gave and how they lost money, my apologies.
    2
  5186. I came here because I'd just red your book the Trading Game! ♠️ It's awesome. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life and your trading journey! 🥰👍🎉🇨🇦
    2
  5187. You're a gem mate. Keep up the good work.
    2
  5188. Gary, I'm watching your channel here in Thailand. You speak so much sense and it is uplifting to people lije us to have your channel fighting for the people. Get a well deserved break, charge up your batteries and look forward to your next vdo.
    2
  5189. I will give him my vote
    2
  5190. Enjoy some time off
    2
  5191. I never really thought of it this way, thanks for the excellent explanation
    2
  5192. It's a hugely important book. I got through it in 4 days. It's fascinating, funny and deeply disturbing.
    2
  5193. welcome back buddy lets do this
    2
  5194. Saw you on PoliticsJoe. My family is working class but I’ve done okay for myself. At 28 I’ve been thinking for years and years why can’t I climb this ladder, and I’ve known it’s just because the playing field is not fair. You mention it in another video but if you don’t start with money, irrelevant of having got an education and a good income you’re basically fucked without being lucky or making risky investments (aka gambling) Just want to thank you so much, you need to get on TV!!! Get your own bbc show about money. On a personal note I’d love to know the more complicated ideas, what resources would you recommend, books/courses ect for understanding assets/investments and the economy.
    2
  5195. I've just read your book (in hardback from the library). Highly recommended and an eye-opener for someone who has never been anywhere near the world of finance. I didn't really get the bit about leaving - why not wait until your bonus was paid, then quit. Or were you always in arrears one year? Anyway a great read. Hope you've got some new shoes now.
    2
  5196. Don't give up Gary. You are the only intellectual / academic who makes the case for why neo liberal economics is corrosive. When Thatcher said individual greed is good for everyone, nobody "said wait a minute, how does that work". In fact Blair bought into the myth too. It is poisonous and you can explain why. By the way I understand what you say about doing maths rather than English. I did physics because some people say they don't understand maths but when you do an experiment, you can't argue w8th the results.
    2
  5197. New subscriber and buying your book
    2
  5198. I guess anyone who proposed taxing the rich would lose the election. Or, if they did, the rich would find a way of avoiding paying it. Unless the Laffer curve is BS
    2
  5199. Just bought the book after stumbling to one of the interviews then came over for more 🙌🏼 God bless
    2
  5200. Please contact Russell Brand and reach out for an appearance on his show on Rumble. I just watched your interview on the plan for poverty and you need to enlighten Russell and the world on his platform. You’re truly an asset to this Revolution and I believe you have a huge role to play now and to help lead us financially in the new age. Thank you for doing God’s work and making the change so many of us were hoping for. Viva La Resistance.
    2
  5201. Jimmy my old Parkour buddy!!!
    2
  5202. New follower here from your Politics Joe interview. Fascinating insights and it feels like you’re really explaining why things are falling apart. Looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say.
    2
  5203. Brilliant
    2
  5204. Highly amusing I dont think they liked your accent Gary! Comments aged well though, now we hit a recession, Labour are about to tax mid wealth pensioners but not the ‘super rich’ (who are really just rich).. and we are sending billions abroad for a failed war. I think someone needs to highlight the circle of monopolised money in academia and how tax ends up abroad in rich peoples accounts to be spent in the west on subsidised education. Are we aware that Lecturers Dons etc with tenure are running a property scam on the backs on unfettered education migration that the taxpayer are in part footing in 2 or 3 ways.. explains the political stalling on careful migration? DEI is being used as a cover tool to hide the fact that the education system is against British students as they are not profitable as foreign ones.
    2
  5205. This is a video to show your kids...if you can ever afford to have any.
    2
  5206. -7percent Vs highly volatile token with time on my side ?
    2
  5207. Never change unless u want 2, love the silly hat & gloves, Love the accent. Some of the biggest thugs in society wear nice suits and have posh accents-see current crop of politicians 4 more details...
    2
  5208. I was actually naive and thought "Maybe it might work". TBH I just want somthing to change and part of me thinks it would take drastic measures.
    2
  5209. Thanks for the content Mr Stevenson. Charismatic and smart. The message is simple and clear. It's also nice to see MC Gaz of Cadaverous Crew fighting his way to the surface occasionally.
    2
  5210. Comment for the algorithm. Spread this information widely
    2
  5211. I always equally look forward to your video updates but also dredd them because it highlights so many flaws and why I’m being screwed over Can’t wait for book to arrive
    2
  5212. Absolutely spot on. Tax them until the pips squeak. Sadly, this country is in it's economic death throes and the rich and creaming off as much wealth as they can before the country dies.
    2
  5213. Gary always holding it down
    2
  5214. Gary, I love what you’re doing. Thanks so much for educating us 🙏🏻
    2
  5215. I want to live in peace and security. I don’t want to be mega rich, I just want enough to pay the bills and have enough to save every month for my next ISA. I am reading your new book Gary THE TRADING GAME it’s brilliant 🤩 Well done and thank you for all you do. I watched a video last night Gerald Celente he is an American Trends Forecaster he says the World economies are going down.
    2
  5216. Well done, Thank you - Short Clear and Precise You hit the Nail on the Head Congrats for your Successful Book
    2
  5217. Thanks for explaining what inflation rate is falling truly means.
    2
  5218. This wealth accumulation cycle seems far more worrysome than the bogeyman of the wage price cycle
    2
  5219. Gary to explain why people believe that inequality is necessary, make a video about the concept of "False Consciousness". Just one video explaining the mechanism behind this believe and how this worked back in history.
    2
  5220. Gary you’re a Londoner from a normal neighbourhood that’s how we speak. It ain’t all la de dah. Congrats on the book and the channel.
    2
  5221. Hi
    2
  5222. Gary for prime minister!
    2
  5223. that's profound and very inspiring. Thanks, Gary, and I hope you're having a nice time off in japan!! it's been super hot n humid isn't it...
    2
  5224. Well put. Don't know if I'll be any good, but I'll try to spread the word in some way. Good luck, and please take care of yourself if possible. Let others help you as well, don't take on the world alone
    2
  5225. Good stuff
    2
  5226. Economics Top G !
    2
  5227. Been watching your videos for a while now, Gary, but this one has stood out. Angela Eagle and Annabelle Denham are incredulous and it shows that if you put a middle-English accent on and spout bo-locks you'll most likely get away with it especially if you come up against the UK's middle-class pandering media - these types that they've never been challenged before and it shows! Well done!
    2
  5228. This is a great video. The message is definitely getting clearer
    2
  5229. Inspiring. Thank you
    2
  5230. Keep going
    2
  5231. Loved listening to your book thank you. Hope youre okay 👍
    2
  5232. What an absolute fuc$@* banger, well done Gary 👌🔥
    2
  5233. What breathe of fresh air to hair some truth on the BBC even if the presenter tried to use distraction techniques . You can only imagine what was screamed at her through her ear piece . 🤣
    2
  5234. Fuck me man... top advice... you clearly know your stuff and have no interest in setting up yet another "traders web site" for the masses to donate their five grand into! Thank you man. Huge respect.
    2
  5235. things are so bad, Uganda just announced a telethon to help support the Uk in its hour of need!!
    2
  5236. Gloves off Gary? Sounding a bit more like class war which was declared by the billionaire Warren buffet a while ago but we didn't listen.
    2
  5237. Great to see you back Gary!
    2
  5238. 🇸🇪 🖐
    2
  5239. Trading is definitely an isolating activity, it can be mentally stressful. I actually started to document how my body was changing I was sweating and smelling like I've never done in my life off the pure adrenaline. It's a weird experience especially as your activity isn't exactly productive with exception of the financial gain.
    2
  5240. Great video. If you have any tips on how I can find £350k to start a market garden & food growing educational centre. Let me know. 🤟💚
    2
  5241. Love you Gary. Keep at it, but look after yourself. Timing of the GE wasn’t good for you taking a break, was it? Make sure you get some rest after the GE. Don’t burn yourself out! You’re doing great work. Glad to see novara name-checked - I think that’s how I first heard about you (or maybe Owen Jones?? Not sure). Collab with Novara more often pls!
    2
  5242. Nice 1 gaz , the first bit was better explained than the 1st bit of zeitgeist addendum ,but still gobbledegook to a man like me who works with his hands . Come ON Gaz!! Good work man .
    2
  5243. Great explanation!
    2
  5244. brilliant - thanks
    2
  5245. I am one of the million voiceless who get by from day to day and not much more. So you will always have my support.
    2
  5246. I believe Rishi Sunak and his wife are multi-millionaires rather than billionaires - or are you assuming Narayan Murthy's wealth is already Rishi's?
    2
  5247. Well I must admit that was simple, just like most of us that never think about anything other than surviving in an unbalanced society, invented by the rich as a sort of everlasting Ponzi scheme, where the poor work tirelessly to stay poor and fund the rich, while the rich never work to remain rich, simple really.
    2
  5248. You are here for the people by the people ofcourse we support you ❤
    2
  5249. Best channel on youtube, not that the plebs know yet
    2
  5250. Notice from all the politician's it's always our children or grand children who'll have to pay the dept never the future multimillionaires or billionaires ! Sounds like a predetermined cartel hell bent on them not being in that loop !....ever !!
    2
  5251. Was lucky enough to get an advance copy and am really loving it. Will be giving it a push on my channel this Saturday
    2
  5252. Great speech Gary. I hope you are enjoying your break. When you come back, I would like to see you talking more with other people working in this space.
    2
  5253. A lot has happened since 25th of June.
    2
  5254. Go on Gary!!!! Told them how it is!
    2
  5255. An economics sermon
    2
  5256. wow. I just though you were clever and knew economics, now I also think you're an amazing human
    2
  5257. Basically those of us who move to mega cities inadvertently do it to wipe the fat arses of the rich at the centre of those cities.
    2
  5258. Please everyone watch this!!!!
    2
  5259. Love this. Book is on pre order. I see the only solutions to this as some kind of managed capitalism as one option, money education as the second. Your views?
    2
  5260. Oh I don't disagree. Problem is, as you have recognised most people don't know, don't understand. Happy Sunday.  @garyseconomics 
    2
  5261. 🤓🤓🤓...you rock Gary. Thanks again.
    2
  5262. Absolutely
    2
  5263. The Inbetweeners, when Simon realises that Will’s ‘posh’ accent has been camouflaging how dumb he actually is. Also the guest on Neal Brennan’s podcast who shared that its the smart kids from poorer backgrounds attending Yale, Harvard etc on scholarships who are the ones in the labs actually creating innovative shit, not the ‘rich’ kids.
    2
  5264. I'll b honest. I'd rather live in a slum in Ilford than a ghetto in Liverpool! You are only a few stops from the city. But well done for sleepin on a mattress on the floor, I do it too!
    2
  5265. well done mate
    2
  5266. this is a superb explanation with great insight.
    2
  5267. Top analysis !
    2
  5268. the videos conteant is great, but maybe i´ve gotten too old and can´t hear it over the bassline - it´s almost like an annoying #tiktok but without the #hotgirls (if this works in any way to get "Garys Economics" content to more people, i´ll be laughing my ass off) ... oh right and before i forget #garyseconomics i hope this helps and isn´t counterproductive
    2
  5269. I'd love you to do a video on Nancy Pelosi. What she does is worse than insider trading. She's like the unliked Aunty cheating as the banker in Monopoly.
    2
  5270. shouldnt do this from your or a friend's balcony...there are idiots out there. either im stressed, angry, or too much coffee....but i got you at 1.25x speed and you sound like you're talking at my speed. lol
    2
  5271. Stood in line to see Jimmy Dore in London at the weekend. Met two dudes from Ilford. Very pleased to tell them about you!
    2
  5272. Resonated highly! Just Subbed! My fellow East Londoner!
    2
  5273. The other side has already started. Keep up the good work fella.
    2
  5274. ' skills. All good!
    2
  5275. Gary, you’re amazingly brilliant…. Thank all the gods for your contributions…. It makes laugh when the Media etc can’t wait to Roll out the Experts…..scientists, to give us their EXPERT opinions…. If they were EXPERTS…. We wouldn’t be up to our necks in it no…. Silence is deafening… cheers GARY… Top Geeezer
    2
  5276. Coming from the same working class background as Gary I totally get him. You can clearly see and feel his frustration. I hope your well Gary mate.
    2
  5277. Watched all of that and he said literally NOTHING again….
    2
  5278. "You need to change the game" 🔥
    2
  5279. I am really keen to find a way of getting Gary's (and others - Richard Murphy for one) message out to more people. I am considering trying to get a discussion group going. I guess online would mean potentially a wider reach. Thoughts anyone?
    2
  5280. I love the Abramovich analogy. I hope you don't mind if I use it.
    2
  5281. Nice blouse
    2
  5282. Gary has addressed "why don't you look like a millionaire" and "are you one of us or them" in previous videos youtu.be/vsw2ihh9U9U youtu.be/VFB_ESv0e_Y
    2
  5283. Thank You! Great explanation in a manner that can be understood by a large percentage of society. I look forward to viewing more of your videos!
    2
  5284. Keep going Gary
    2
  5285. 😊
    2
  5286. You got a big heart mate, big up :)
    2
  5287. As a french, your analysis make me think of Thomas Piketty ( inheritage, policy mix bias)
    2
  5288. Spirited Awaaaaassy! 😃
    2
  5289. Brilliantly done! The language you used made it much easier to understand! This video is THE argument for taxing the wealthy and I shall be spreading it far and wide! 😁 Thank you!!
    2
  5290. There is a belgian Electro rock band who had a nice song about it (back in the days) - "Mr le président, ou est mon argent" (Hey Mr president... Where is my effin money) 😅
    2
  5291. This guy prophets. It's one thing to get the bigger picture right, but when you start getting all the smaller details right as well, it's uncanny.
    2
  5292. Thank you for a beautiful lecture. I love your work.
    2
  5293. Respect, Gary
    2
  5294. Gary, I just read some of your book in the Telegraph. I was shocked by how you were treated and the effect on your mental and physical health. I'm glad you are out of that now and doing something positive with your experiences. I wish you good health.

  5295. Thanks for exposing the truth about the ‘meta’ language of economics designed to obfuscate the truth

  5296. Yea I get why you got sick Listening to how you look😢into the future and the bleakness that you paint put me off my food. I read your book twice. I’m in Australia and I see similarities occurring here. We watch a YouTube channel called walk the world and I know a senator who quit his party because he could not change it from the inside. The system is bleak and then only way to manage it is through our culture and attitudes. Unless billionaires are literally going to gift houses to random people but their tied into the global pension system which needs more utilities to make false promises to their shareholders for returns that won’t work as many will flee to get off grid and away from the wealth harvesting. It’s interesting it’s hard to work out but the first step imo is to listen and read . The human society has been here before and we can make necessities free instead of a wealth harvesting scheme. We can give ration packs to families for a year to help with their food bills. That technology exists now.

  5304. May be bit late to this video as just saw your interview on Novara Media so came to check your channel. I am confused as you initially explain inflation in UK economy due to 600 billion given to the rich So propose tax rich and give 13k to general population - surely that would also cause inflation as well? There'd be then more money 'chasing' the same amount of goods so prices would rise soeven with 13k I'd be no better off.
    2
  5305. Here from that crazy AF interview you did. Keep going. Subed.
    2
  5306. This is the mostly clearly argued video on the status of wealth that I've ever seen. Share this video with people, its important.
    2
  5307. Just listened to the audiobook, your writing is incredible. Dystopian non-fiction. Unfortunately for me, most people I know are already fairly passionately pro taxing the rich. But I'm sharing it with them anyway.
    2
  5308. I have a stupid accent, too. Midlands! Really appreciate your insightful views. I'm so grateful because you put it in a way that everyone can understand, too. Thank you.

  5309. On my wishlist

  5310. Gary, you have decorative cushions on your sofa! Pleased to see some colour.

  5311. Bought it, here in New Zealand. ( NZ$39.95 in Whitcoulls ) A really good read. A good investment.
    2
  5312. Never stop spreading messages like this Gary. Impactful stuff.
    2
  5313. BLOODY EXCELLENT- refreshing content Gary, TY!! 🚀💯
    2
  5314. Gary, you're a wonderfiul role model for todays misguded young people, who have been lied to for years. You could give these people an amazing insight as to how life, money and the elites really work. You should write something for the national curriculum. I wish there were people like you around during my informative years. It's about time that the public were allowed to hold their elected officials to account. With people like yourself I hope this becomes a reality.
    2
  5315. Great video.
    2
  5316. What an insightful take. I've watched some of your other stuff but the way you put it here feels very... effective. Most of the demands for increased taxes come across to me as greedy, entitled requests for unearned wealth that are hard to justify stripping from the rich without sounding like plain and simple robbery. This perspective feels like it somehow climbs above all that. I've been thinking that more emphasis should be placed on how actions like these are the lesser of the two evils whenever so many conservatives proclaim to be morally disturbed by the theft of taxation, it feels like you're emphasising how disturbing the reality we're moving towards will be, i.e. one without effective taxation policy, and I think that's something we're in dire need of hearing as a society. People don't seem to understand how much of capitalism is thought of at best as almost a 'sport' whose rules need careful moderation.
    2
  5317. I'm a cleaner. I mostly clean the 2nd homes of the rich in my area, often they go weeks with no occupancy and they leave the heating on at 21 degrees! No energy crisis, we have distribution problems....
    2
  5318. Come on Gary make Britain great again

  5319. Yes we must must do this as you say we have to. I also just ordered your book. #HappySunday Gary hun. x

  5322. How the hell did we reach a point where millions of kids are going hungry in a world where there are billionaires?
    2
  5323. Smart, simple, well presented ❤
    2
  5324.  @garyseconomics  I'm sure it's the same reason people keep voting for the Tories. They look and sound like they believe that they are in charge and people fall for it, repeatedly, no matter what nonsense they talk - which is I think your point about the economists. I'm with @JosephAsghar - it does sound like we need a polite revolution. There are so many more ordinary people than posh ones. The trouble is that ordinary folk are too busy working and earning money to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table and the lights on - but maybe we are approaching a tipping point? If the current opinion polls can be believed. I'm trying to be optimistic and encouraging people to work together and not get weighed down by party political squabbles. We need to do what's right for ordinary people to flourish. Your point about taxing wealth, serious wealth, is key.
    2
  5325. 🎉 amazing work to you Gary but also sim - appreciate how much work it is being in front and behind the camera 😅
    2
  5326. i think you are actually really getting to the nub of the world's problem .. I like to think that, because you exited the system to help us lot, it's freed your obviously great mind to really think these things through .. as a systems engineer, I've been trying to work this out for about a decade !! and you're greatly helping me - thank you
    2
  5327. Need to tax the super rich & clear the corruption in Government. ie make sure the tax collected is used to raise the health, wellbeing & living standards of the poor.  We need to care about the real health of the planet, sensient beings: all people. Real Philanthropy needs to exist again.   At the moment the military industrial Pharma complex seems to be rolling out a plan to cull the poor, rather than lifting livelihoods.   Best not leave power in the hands of psychopaths. You can spot the politicians without empathy, they don’t care about those with less.  Its crutial to have people in power who care about those with less & it matters more than ever now.  It is true nobility to care about those in less fortunate positions.   I really appreciate this conversation, thank you. 🕊

  5328. Great message. And no swearing!😊

  5329. Enjoy the break,Garry. A newly fortified creative drive will be formidable.

  5330. Congratulations Gary, loved listening to the audio book.

  5331. The last of the great Gary’s ❤👍

  5332. YES GARY. 🙌

  5333. You're a good man, Gary

  5334. I've just realised it's you on rizzle kicks' latest album 💯
    2
  5335. I've been mainlining these videos since I found them, and it's so excited to see this analysis being made publicly and in plain language. I think there are a few more reasons that we moved towards an asset economy: one being deregulation of the financial sector. Until Thatcher/Raegan, for example, share buybacks were illegal. Now over 90% of corporate profits are used on buybacks and dividends: which means 90% of the productive gain in a really significant part of the economy (as so much of what we do is done by corporations, especially since privatisation) goes to investors and asset holders, rather than going to wages, or research and development, or not pumping shit into rivers. That's not an exageration, the data for the 2010s was like 91% across the S&P top 500. I assume it will be worse now. No wonder we all feel like we're getting exhausted for nowt, we're basically running on 10% capacity and the rest is getting siphoned off to make the rich richer. Where is the money going? Over half the shares of the 300 richest corporations in the world--which are richer than most states--are owned or controlled by just 30 companies. THIRTY. ACROSS THE WHOLE WORLD. The contemporary global economy is insane and yet no one is talking about it.
    2
  5336. Just finished listening to the trading game on audible. The book was engaging the whole time and your story is great. I recommended it to my mom and she is already a few hours in.
    2
  5337. Do you think greater taxation of the rich will actually happen in our lifetime? Is there really movement happening towards it at the right levels? It feels so unachievable right now.
    2
  5338. 2 years old but predicted what is happening now.
    2
  5339. Spot on Gary! I did a postgraduate certificate in Economics some years back. I loved it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it didn't make hard predictions that carried consequences. When I listened to the public facing economists, none of them were ever blacklisted for being off on their analysis or predictions. They kept talking even after being off by miles in the past. Now I know why. Thanks Gary. FYI, I am an industrial chemistry professional and hard predictions are my bread and butter. If you get it wrong, something explodes and somebody gets hurt. So I know the difference quite well.
    2
  5340. Your videos are truly eye-opening. Thank you.
    2
  5341. I like the Copernicus analogy. That was a good video, in that it was simpler to understand. I'm not an idiot, but sometimes I feel you assume more knowledge from your viewers and skip over things a bit. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
    2
  5342. here's an idea... STOP BORROWING FROM BILLIONAIRES TAX BILLIONAIRES.
    2
  5343. Good to see you back Gary. I've listened to allot of people talk about this subject and from my point of view and working myself in the financial sector you have seen things clearly on how this world works for many many years, you talk allot of sense in a truthfull way. I for one will help support you get this movement going if I can help in anyway.
    2
  5344. And here we are, a year later. Gary knows his stuff!
    2
  5345. Have a lovely holiday. You're doing a great job. Interesting how you foreshadowed the immigration and farage issue driven by inequality (in the light of the anti immigrant riots in august). Yep I would donate a few quid. I think having a bit more help is a good idea.
    2
  5346. Always pointing out the obvious but with our so called (tax haven based billionaire owned) mainstream media, we need you to point this out, until people start to understand that the debt narrative is being spoon fed to them by the super rich. Information is power.
    2
  5347. As someone who has commented on the hat indoors. I like it! It’s you. As someone from Grimsby it’s also great to hear someone from down south talk about money with a working class/normal accent and not a la de dar. ‘Read it. You’ll like it.’ Is possibly the best book review ever. All the best with what’s coming. Definitely be getting the book 👊
    2
  5348. Love what you're saying and just read your book which I got a lot from. If you mates just kept the gold after it went down, wouldn't it have just risen back up again anyway?
    2
  5349. The fundamental issue here is that over 100% of the stock has been shorted, the Hedge Funds have been illegally naked shorting the stock and the Redditors at WSB know this and aren't selling. Eventually all the shorts will need to cover their losses. This isn't even close to being over yet, more likely a pre-squeeze dip. GME is going to the moon.
    2
  5350. My wife bought it for me yesterday.
    2
  5351. Are you familiar with the tragedy of the commons? It's the prisoner's dilemma applied to common property (rival, non-excludable) resources in basic environmental economics. Your video also made me think about the current political backlash in California over inflation, and how a lot of the blame has been placed on rising wages for low-wage workers like fast-food workers.
    2
  5352. Hi Gary - Loved the book - listened to the audiobook (could not stop listening). Enjoy the break in Japan!
    2
  5353. Good to see you again, Gary. Great to have you back! Was wondering where you've been. Happy Yule & New Year. Congrats on the book. I look forward to reading it. I have have a message for you. They will try to hijack your message; that being that wealth needs to be more evenly distributed. Yes that message. But they’ll keep the wealth they have while making all of us do with less, and the WEF will be very happy.
    2
  5354. As an ordinary guy I am unbelievably grateful that someone is speaking up for us. Someone that people can't say he doesn't know what he's talking about. We love u Gary!

  5355. Money is actually a ledger. Without it, there is no existence of money.

  5359. GODDAMN this one great

  5360. So when the film is released about your amazing life, Gary, I’ll be telling everyone to watch it. You’re a legend already. The world will be a better place and you’re helping this shift❤. Enjoy the cycling. Cycling always helped sort out my head and ❤️‍🩹.
    2
  5361. +++ ty Gary and God bless you
    2
  5362. Just here to say that I admire what you do, and your cause. It's funny because what you are doing is kind of a secret goal that I set to myself after I'll "make it big" or have more power. Inequality in the world, and the root cause of it are troubling my mind daily since my early 20's. I once was very poor, had a rough childhood, but today I'm pretty solid financially and just getting stronger by the day. And the inequality still troubles me. Modern capitalism and global monetary policy are inslaving humanity at a record speed, especially the younger generations. It feels like all I'm doing is getting economic freedom at a greater speed than the velocity of enslavement. Anyway, love for what you do. Keep it going bro ❤🔥
    2
  5363. Great work Gary, this is so important on so many levels. Take a break soon we don't want you burning out and you so deserve to relax and kick back for a bit.
    2
  5364. Watch the ball, not the man.
    2
  5365. Very well summarized, I have exactly the same remarks since a couple of years working in finance. Thank you Gary! 🫡

  5366. Thats a posh street compared to most gaffs in east london lol great content as ever

  5367. me at 4:05 with the intense nodding when Gary explains me something
    2
  5368. I bought the book in Waterstones yesterday, I’m aiming to read 25 books this year and I’ve bumped yours up to next on the list - keep on doing what you do 🫡
    2
  5369. it's great to hear someone else say these things. I don't think any Party wants to fix these issues, it's been happening for 20 yrs or more. I would like to meet you for a chat Gary if thats possible. i'm trying to start something but i'm gonna need all the help i can get and it might start with you.
    2
  5370. Top banana Gary . This needs exposing , we are being scammed by the rich .
    2
  5371. Bloody hell when you started by saying the growth was good I thought someone had got to you and you were talking about the economy ...
    2
  5372. Gary what’s to stop you and the other like minded people who are in your economic situation leveraging all that you have to do what Nigel Farrage is doing forming his own party. I said this almost a year ago that supporting Labour wouldn’t help your cause if you watch Double Down News, Novara news here on YouTube you’ll see why and I guess this is why you voted for the Greens something which I thought was a wise move. You’re a ridiculously intelligent guy use the same tactics to get whomever it is as many seats in government and locally and go from there otherwise your cause and ours will be so difficult to reach. I’ve supported you from the beginning and tell all my friends about you many of whom are wealth mangers and work in the financial industry. Thanks for all you do.

  5373. Yes Gazza!!! Buying the book for sure. Good to see you back 🫶

  5379. Great educational content

  5380. Good 2 see u bk mr👍 happy new year
    2
  5381. Gary, I'd love to see a longer video that brings all these key things togetjer to create a full picture. Covering money, debt, intlation and interest, or something like that
    2
  5382. Thank you Gary for sharing with us the plain outlook. I first found your channel searching for why the market continues growing when fundamentals are flat. I had an undergrad in Finance - and the model I was taught was discounted cashflows - which means that if a single company is making the same profit this year as last year and the interest rate isn't changed, the price should be flat if profit forecast was flat. I watched the market 2012 when I graduated to now where the underlying businesses posted modest gains - 20-30%, meanwhile the priced value quadrupled. A dollar is a dollar is a dollar - but that's not how the market behaves. I knew something else had to be at play - your explanation has given me a solid working theory to explain the actual world I see - Flat fundamentals, endlessly growing "market value" - Rich using cash to buy assets, as long as they have more and more cash from us they will buy more and more assets and the price increases won't stop. Inequality = Assets Up = Affordability Down.

  5383. About midway thru the book, Gary, loving it. Happy to play the role of Billy, in the movie , if you're stuck . Another great video . Thanks

  5392. Gary, congratulations on the book’s success, you deserve it. Just finished listening…love your accent! You definitely could do with a holiday; as a wise health visitor once told me, if you don’t look after yourself you can’t look after anyone else. We’ll be here when you get back! Heard Norfolk’s nice!😉Elsie

  5400. BRILLIANT!!!!!! Keep hammering them!
    2
  5401. The crazy thing is most people don't know who the rich are. If they have paid off their mortgage and have saved a little they believe that y they are the wealthy. So when it is said that we need to tax the rich more they feel threatened. Therefore there is a whole strata of society that are doing the job of protecting the really wealthy who have hidden their assets off shore in tax havens and pay little or no tax
    2
  5402. I also love low tier UK football.

  5405.  @garyseconomics  already did mate, take care 🙂
    2
  5406. A looong time before i came across Gary i was continuously saying When they talk about the economy theyre talking about their economy not yours ...
    2
  5407. Loved the talk in Bath last night Gary, thanks for everything that you're doing.
    2
  5408. Great interview on LBC's Full Disclosure with James O'Brien
    2
  5409. Hi Gary, you have converted me, love the channel and the ideas, I know you don’t give financial advice but I’ve heard you say you are extremely long on gold, I’m a simple working class person can you please say in one of your videos, how long you are on gold and what would make you sell gold…. I would never put all my money into gold, just as much as I could afford to lose….but I noticed in the last year gold has outperformed my savings account by some margin…. All the best to you and your family….
    2
  5410. government and central banks run the economy for the rich. the rest of us are on our own. therein lies the problem. the vast majority act as individuals and therefore have no power. the rich have a powerful lobby, the poor have no lobby.
    2
  5411. I'm not sure there are living standards or productivity in Canada! Cheers from Canada
    2
  5412. Much love Gary, and the British Working Class as a Black American, across the water
    2
  5413. Ohh my goodness, what a brilliant video. A lecture in common sense.
    2
  5414. I reside here in the US, but listen to Gary because our two economies are so similar. His adice works equally well here in the United States.
    2
  5415. Gary It easy for someone to listen and understand what you say even if one hasn’t got Economics background. I’ve always wanted to learn how I get buy Gold as in stock or assets. I don’t know how to do this and would love your feedback to sign post me in right direction. I doubt you will see this message, but it’s worth given it a shot. Hope your notifications are turned 😂
    2
  5416. I’ve got the audio book and I’m 3 hours in. Love it. Really good stories thank you
    2
  5417. As a working person I support this message
    2
  5418. Save yourselves time and skip this video. TLDR. Guy gets rich, develops a Messiah complex, patronises his former community, and kills their hope. Now wants to spout pseudo socialism whilst counting his millions. You can't make this crap up. If anyone genuinely wants to get rich, get in touch.
    2
  5419. Just had my eyes opened.
    2
  5420. Eternal damnation is 100…… 110% right Gary Enjoy your holidays but make sure you come back dude
    2
  5421. Thanks for these videos Gary
    2
  5422. Another excellent video
    2
  5423. Appreciate the work you put in to writing this personal story. It’s not easy to put a creative piece out like this. It really makes your whole message resonate more strongly.
    2
  5424. here after Insider clip , cannot wait to see your previous content and next ones. Much appreciated.
    2
  5425. Maestro
    2
  5426. very good point, I'm working on proposals for a big new kind of media project, global, strong interest from some good people in America, if it comes back, we are coming to you Mr Gary, and we will help amplify your message. Your doing great work as ever.
    2
  5427. Got it … and long standing interested against extreme wealth and wealth inequality. There seems to be more ways to educate ourselves now. I heard you speak about a call to arms on an interview. Just reading Limitarianism by Ingrid Robeyns and I’m frustrated can only the rich really address the issues with reducing wealth inequality? Collective action is not something that emerges often without a lot of disruption. There are too many political squirrels 🐿️ running around for a collective to look at this properly. I will look on your views on a basic universal income… is this worthy of putting our voice behind. So much hope But accompanied by fear for my kids and grandchildren. For me this issue is second only to climate change and may be even more immediate.
    2
  5428. Speaking facts
    2
  5429. Glad to have you back. I’ve listened to your you tube through Spotify on your podcast as well. Thank you for keeping us informed.
    2
  5430. I think there should be some crazy ass tax for people who own more than their grandchildren could ever use, why and what for they have all of that money anyways? It doesn't actually benefit them (realistically ) or the country and the society in general
    2
  5431. wow, love this guy and his message.
    2
  5432. Subtle touch, but I love that other than ‘Gaddafi’s kids,’ the rich in the story are basically nameless. But when you talk about the people you asked why they weren’t spending, you named them.
    2
  5433. Thanks Gary, another super video with a very interesting explanation
    2
  5434. Hello IM A NEW FOLLOWER!!❤❤
    2
  5435. It's like there are two economies: the economy of ultra rich and the economy the working and middle class are trapped in.
    2
  5436. I'm glad you don't talk like a DJ anymore
    2
  5437. Hi Gary, I started watching and following your channel late last year. Your book was a page turning that I couldn’t put down. I have begun to share your message with friends and family. Cheers from those of us from across the pond!
    2
  5438. I love you Gary, you radicalized me economically and I was already radicalized! ❤
    2
  5439. Just finished listening to it. Great book, compelling and entertaining!

  5451. The model, that the modellers live in, is flawed. Plumber; here, is trying to talk about it with every person I meet. The more of us that understand the fundamental flaws in our system the faster we can move for change. Thanks Gary.

  5452. Big up Colombia!! Orgulloso que nos visitaste Gary, siga con tu mensaje y educando nos

  5453. I think this is exactly the moment to double down on the efforts. I think the left is clearly incapable of promoting a positive narrative, the alternative. We are the alternative, your points are the narrative we can use to go to people who are desperate and tell them "we want you to have everything you need". THIS is the alternative! Have a great time mate!

  5462. Good stuff and an interesting video. 👍😁

  5466. Gary I'm so onboard with what you're saying, and clearly many other people are - that you risk becoming a cult leader :P Jokes aside, please approach this responsibility with humility and use your influence over bandwagoners nobly. And I'll also do my part by considering what you speak of critically.
    2
  5467. yeah, no, made life changing money buying bitcoin. where do you have a list of your predictions btw? i saw a video with you saying you made loads of predictions and they came true, where are they? what are your predictions now?

  5468.  @garyseconomics  and you not retired if you are still making content. You are still working.
    2
  5469. Thank you. Thank you for taking all of this on. There are so many problems that come with trying to do the right thing. I believe you're doing the right thing. Du hast schon viel positives in der Welt bewirkt. Mal schauen wie stark der Zerfall wid.

  5470. This Gary Bhoy is the Future 😂

  5471. Ah- I’d already found you on Twitter and was following! Been researching the transition to e vehicles from 2030, and pondering the affordability of these vehicles by zoomers who’ll be in their 30’s when takes effect. Can I put in a request for a video on this at some point?...
    2
  5472. Is this going to be available as an audiobook? I'm not much of a reader but love listening.
    2
  5473. this was beautifull, thank you.
    2
  5474. That was excellent!👌, absolutely brilliant (i was going to phrase that differently (living in Aussie as i do), but everyone is being well behaved and not swearing so I shall continue the trend 😅). Economics was not my strong suit as a teen but I try to poke my nose in it as an adullt when the rabbit hole presents...and you Sir are one of the most important rabbits there is right now. ❤️
    2
  5475. We're still here, supporting you. What you're doing needs to be done, and what you're saying needs to be heard. Keep going!
    2
  5476. I with you Gary
    2
  5477. love your stuff man, keep it up and we CAN change things (may just be commenting something to help the youtube algorithm favour you)
    2
  5478. Welcome back. I'd like to see you being interviewed on other channels and mainstream news/economists. You would be a great debater. I would also like to see regular ordinary working people talk about their economics. Not sure how that would fit in.
    2
  5479. Legend

  5480. Great lecture Gary!
    2
  5481. You need broad shoulders to be the harbinger of doom. I don’t envy you Gary. You started this so now you got to start a political party man.
    2
  5482. Hey Gary, I love your videos! Be aware of the times you say ‘It’s important to understand though’ 😂 Keep on fighting the good fight. Love from the Netherlands!
    2
  5483. Gary. Firstly, I’m glad I’m here. I read the article on you recently and I admire your endeavour. But this has been going on FOR EVER. Your videos are in vain. Let’s be completely honest. If anything, you are capitalising on being outspoken on this subject. You have a YouTube Channel, your on national radio and telly... We get what you’re saying, but it’s been said a million times before.... It seems shallow...why not try something different

  5486. Of course, she's exhausted. The truth is taxing to those who deny it. More fire to you, Gary!
    2
  5487. But my right wing friends swear the money will trickle down any time now 😞
    2
  5488. I always love listening to Gary tell his story and thinking about my own childhood studying splayed out on the living room floor, bedroom floor or on my bed. Similarly I also never had to study much to get good grades through most of school, although that didnt work when things got harder at A level and university. Being at a relatively wealthy point in my life, it does make you wonder how everyone else is doing and how some of us pulled ourselves out of those situations when some might still be in them.
    2
  5489. Glad you're building a team and a network. Not sure I agree with Jimmy's "float up" concept for social issues. Float up/trickle down seems the same trickle down has been proven to be utter nonsense. Gary, glad you brought up women! I hope you continue to have public conversations with diverse voices.
    2
  5490. Ref the USA's debt, we have the very simple answer. Tax the rich and stop paying trillions to our military industrial complex.
    2
  5491. This is a great explainer. One piece I can't grasp though, is why (if the cashflows are settling with the rich only) would it cause huge CPI inflation this time? The masses of people that spend on the estimated CPI basket of goods aren't the ones holding extra money, the middle class are being squeezed too. Doesn't this suggest that the inflation we're seeing is cost push or price gouging? Eg post 2008 there was huge printing of money, but negligible CPI inflation for over a decade as the money went to the rich and houses/stocks. I don't see what's changed this time.
    2
  5492.  @garyseconomics  got you. cheers for the reply
    2
  5493. Well done Gary on BBC politics today , you were totally spot on and that ghoul from the IEA was made to look like an economic illiterate , i dont suppose they will be inviting you back though lol.
    2
  5494. Clapping your hands or not, or whatever! it was a great vid that got you started! You were right about it all

  5495. facts very informative and we can get this messgage out

  5496. Great content, keep it up man, love from the Netherlands
    2
  5497. Ive pre-ordered your book. And welcome back - we've missed your wise words and explanations anyone can understand. Good luck with your campaign, with you all the way
    2
  5498. @GarysEconomics  I realised the answer to my own question not long after I asked it. 🤭 Thanks for replying though.👍 Much appreciate all that you're doing.
    2
  5499. I bloody love your accent ❤ i think you are phenomenal ❤

  5500. I'm almost finishing your book, please educate me !🤝

  5501. Love your content. Thank you!
    2
  5502. I love the channel and how you speak about money. I strive to be educated on the subject but really have accepted my modest way of life as a perfectly fine setting in which to be happy and I have many friends. Money can be the enemy of love
    2
  5503. Gazza, just heard you on LBC mate, pukka ! 👍
    2
  5504. I'm amazed that ANYONE believes what these politicians and oligarchs say. Why do poor, and middle class people STILL believe that these people are there fir and supporting their views.....no idea. Like a form of hysteria.

  5508. "The only way to do that is to work together and change the system." He saved the best and most important statement for last. There are no individual solutions to societal problems. That's precisely why we've been sold the myth of individual effort and hard work as the path to financial well-being, when in fact, it deviously is not only the wrong answer, but is the wrong answer because it sets up the mind to ask the wrong question. Literally every modern convenience that we have, we have obtained by people working together as a society. That can happen with individual financial well-being as well ... but only if we work together as a society to obtain it and refuse to be set one against another by our own bigotries and prejudices.
    2
  5509. I love how Gary connects with people, he is rich and I am poor but that doesn't matter to me as he makes me want to engage with him because he brings an element of hope, hope that the super rich are going to be held to account one day, and we may just see more socialist values in play..... keep going Gary.... But it's not all on you.... we all have a responsibility to do more, especially I would say the famous in the UK ...... This is where American actors / famous people are really good at campaigning, but doing it on camera look at Mark Ruffalo for example and many like him, US got this right, we have Gary Linekar Tweeting , no disrespect to Gary .... Remember Mark Rashfords letter regarding Free kids school meals.... that letter had more power than mine and all my friends rants on social media for the rest of my life. Why? because the politicians shit themselves when a famous household name who has a political message seeps into our homes via TV. So yeah I'm sure if we all sent a message requesting our famous people to be more visibly active on holding politicians to account things will change.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlChFvmmSQM

  5518. Gary! You have enough money to turn the heating on! Great analysis!
    2
  5519. Well done Gary , nice, now, that you campaign for redistribution. Unlike Rishi Sunak who's just defending the status quo .
    2
  5520. Glad you’re back!!
    2
  5521. Thanks Gary. I have come across you in the past month, so catching up with the education you are providing. It's a hard listen to be honest, because you let us have it all both barrels. But it's so refreshing, along with Jame's Brian's message. Keep up the great work but look after yourself along the way. JOE

  5524. I ❤ this and your altruistic soul but I need a follow up video. It sounds like you’re saying vote wisely and encourage others to do so as well. How do you do that when the rich control the information being fed to us and corporations are people and political donations are considered free speech? I see poor and middle class people thinking the rich will help them while I know they won’t. How do I convince them?
    2
  5525. To answer your question on why you and where we are: As someone with a kid and soon two, with a stable income and an intact home (albeit not my own), I'm working. Making a wage. I'll not lie your words move me to action and maybe I'll toss and turn in bed tonight thinking about it or maybe I will dream about it but the next step is always unclear and tomorrow I will wake up tired, go to work, likely will not create my own political "tax the rich and their assets" party (I checked, there's no popular party in Germany that has a comprehensive plan on this that I could just vote for), and I will come home to my family, tired, trying to get my kid to bed and relax in the evening. That's why it's you and not us. I'm sorry and I feel ashamed but that is why.
    2
  5526. You sound tired mate. Look after yourself. Maybe that holiday is what you need. I find it refreshing though that you tell it like it is even when you’re a bit down. Maybe you’re right about Labour but I don’t think so. A lot changed for the better under Blair and Brown (though Iraq was a nightmare) and it’s all gone bad since they left office. I think Starmer is being careful not to promise too much too soon. I also think that after they get into office voices like yours will become crucial. The Tories would never be moved in the slightest by your message. But Labour might. And the more who put out the message in a cohesive way the greater the pressure. If Labour feel enough people are behind it to keep them in power if they implement it then they’re more likely to go for it. But why would they if all they have is people bad mouthing them for being the same as the Tories. They’re not! And it’s not just you to say it. There’s the Patriotic Millionaires as you say; there’s a lot of Labour MPs, LibDems and Greens; what if Best for Britain took it on; Taxing Wealth Report. Like you say it’s a long game. Don’t exhaust yourself too soon. But a decisive Labour victory is a good step forward and to be celebrated before the work moves into a new phase. It’s still all to play for. The election is just a step along the way and the task is to maximise tactical voting so that the possible 150 or so seats the Tories could win on small majorities through the progressive vote being split reduces to nearer 50 and the Tories are spent as a force in the next Parliament. You can find what the tactical vote is for your constituency at www.stopthetories.vote (if you don’t know already)

  5530. Beautiful and tragic.
    2
  5531. Really good content here Gary. It's no accident ordinary people are ignorant of the basic concepts of economics and more importantly, wealth. One of the biggest obstacles to taxing wealth is waste by state bureaucracy. I believe most wealthy people would be more than happy to contribute much more than their fair share if they thought it wouldn't end up in the black hole of state spending. Instead of taxing wealth the state should first facilitate the super wealthy to invest in education and healthcare infrastructure for the exclusive use of the poorest in our society.. This would need to be out of reach of the parasitical public sector managerial snouts.
    2
  5532. Thank you!!!
    2
  5533. thank you gary for trying to get the message out there, people have been working too hard for too long for too little, just basic living is now a struggle,the last 14 years of Tory rule have made the country worse than ive ever seen it, am just hopeful your message starts to take root, as 40 odd years of neo liberalism has taken its toll.
    2
  5534. they wont tax the rich because they are thinking about the image they'll create around the world, it'll all about the look these days

  5535. WHAT IS WEALTH? BABY DON'T HURT ME, NO MORE.....!
    2
  5536. I don't think you should feel bad or sleazy about asking for funding. There are people out there who want change and who are not just willing to finance it but who want to do so, to varying degrees
    2
  5537. My copy arrived earlier today, I’ll make a start on it tonight! 😊
    2
  5538. Saw you over on Pierce Morgan, gonna go through the back catalog.

  5539. I wouldn't use the term emotional I would use the term passionate and eager to get your message out to ordinary people

  5540. Gary you should be on the TV, How have i missed this channel. I wish I had watched this before I gambled on oil many years ago. Expensive mistake.Your my new morning mentor.

  5541. Anti labour trump fans heads are spinning!

  5542. Good one, and an accurate description of how things really are. I know people, both Tory and labour voters who buy into the obscene house price scam/scheme and see the increase in value as being somehow virtuous for themselves and for their children. Eg ''By the time my kids leave home and university, my house will be worth ££££Million then I will sell it and buy a house for me and two flats for my kids'' which is very poor thinking indeed, when all parties would benefit if house prices were 1/4 of what they are. Not even the Guardian, our only semi-mainstream news outlet gets to grip with this subject in a big way. Australia where I originated is even more obscene and people are generally driven by the Murdoch press which is 75% of all information in Australia, trots out 'house buying prowess' stories almost every day.
    2
  5543. As an economist I can say: This is a brilliant explanation of the current status quo of people in economics. It is 100% right!!! Thank for the structured description. Excellent 👌

  5552. Saw your video the other day in my feed. Thought who is this influencer toff, and what are you selling. Saw your interview on your prior life.. and am back... More humbly this time haha appreciate your content and perspective Gary.
    2
  5553. I heard someone say tax the rich means anyone over £70k a year would pay 70%. I asked where he got that idea from he said it was in a Tory post on Twitter 🙄
    2
  5554.  @garyseconomics  that was my immediate thought. Congratulations on your recent success mate, me and my misses love your content you make everything much easier to understand for us as a family living on the bread line. I also must congratulate you on your comment section it’s without doubt the most civilised comment section on the internet, I pretty much learn something new every time I read it.

  5562. Tell everyone you know about this and share videos, learn Gary's basic message and tell everyone. Use your vote when you get the chance and vote for whatever party has a policy to deal with inequality. Tell your local MP your onto this and you demand action.

  5568. Well if you ran for pm you would have my vote
    2
  5569. That's so funny you watch ASMR 😂 on the other side I'm 28 and I love watching your channel, I've learnt so much so thank you! I'm female and I'm scared about the future but watching you makes me feel aware and a little less afraid of the future, as people like you are there to help!
    2
  5570. I've been with you from the first video Gary. Well done. I run a small business that I have to pay rent to a landlord to lease his shop. You've inspired me to save hard to buy my own commercial property outright. Hopefully I'll be ready in a few years to be free of landlords.
    2
  5571. Very well explained, look forward to working through your videos in the coming weeks and learning some stuff.
    2
  5572. more please. that was brilliant. made so much sense
    2
  5573. I thank Gary and this channel for pulling me out of the right wing echo chambers and back into reality. When the world feels so dark we try to find a message and reason, something or someone to blame. Our anger is easily misguided and redirected. Gary shines the light onto the beast that lurks in the shadows.
    2
  5574. Super clear and factual. Modern capitalism has only been around for, what, 150 years? Gary's betting on it being fundamentally flawed in a way that's not yet been fully tested. Economic cycles are just a superficial layer on top of a giant invisible shift in wealth. Terrifying! At the moment folks just try to find other folks to blame (immigrants? Nasty small scale landlords? Bloody bankers on their hard earned 100k pa?) but the bigger picture will prob eventually lead to a revolution!
    2
  5575. Greed

  5576. Well done Gal! bloody good read
    2
  5577. Hi Gary, I listened to you speak today on LBC with Tom Swarbrick. This video is fantastic and you explained everything in such an easy to understand format. Thank you! I want to learn more about economics but not sure where to start. Do you know of any good books, blogs or podcasts to start listening to or reading? I want to become more knowledgeable and money literate.
    2
  5578. All I can say Gary is you have opened my eyes. I think most people in the UK do not know or see the truth. They only see major news channels selling spin while avoiding the elephant in the room. You are the only person talking about wealth inequality. Once you understand what it is, it then becomes obvious. I thank you for what you do and the love you show to our country in trying to make it better.
    2
  5579. Great video!
    2
  5580. Another great video and i really enjoyed your book. I went with the audible version as you narrated it. I found it incredibly interesting and thought provoking and party educational. You should definitely apply for the next season of the traitors!

  5581. 👍🍻 Gary

  5582. Ment to say I was getting poorer every day wa a bricklayer then had accident breaking my back five year ago I only just starting to crawl my way back from depression n addiction wish me well
    2
  5583. This channel is very important. As a US Citizen, virtually everything you speak about is evident in more and more cities each year. The biggest change here recently is that even in extremely low cost towns, we are seeing retirees dependent upon social security having to eat cat food to stay alive. We've failed our young and old (and middle class) and the future feels awfully bleak but the hope you are spreading is something that needs to catch on in the US. I fear we, as a country, have dipped our toes too far into the dream/delusion of "well I'm not poor, so it's not my problem" when in reality, most folks making near six figures are barely able to hold on unless they got ahead via buying a house pre-pandemic. Also, the lack of support for vital jobs in the US is going to rear its ugly head sooner than later. What happens when government workers, mechanics, sanitarians, (the list goes on) can't afford to live? It's already like that in a large amount of cities and I personally believe it's the reason why we are seeing such a rise in grifting ie everyone sells life insurance now, everyone is into crypto, etc. It's a mass delusion that is going to take a lot of unpacking and long conversations in this country. Hopefully your message spreads here.

  5589. Just pre-ordered on Audible. What you are doing for ordinary workers is so important; I hope you won't stop if the book is as successful as we all hope.

  5590. To grow in influence, you need to collaborate. This brings its own risks, obviously.
    2
  5591. Believe in yourself. You are making this happen already. Glad to see you back and good luck.
    2
  5592. First time that I am watching and knowing you. Ive never met someone that spoke clearly about ours problems today. Thank you very much, from now on I will follow you and watch your videos.
    2
  5593. ​ @garyseconomics  The "stand-by-me" guy's still around at Cornmarket Street. Have you ever seen the 'fire baton" guy who's usually at St. Giles? On one hand Oxford is a very snob place, so much so due to its inextriable heritage with England and the extremely toxic class system (especially in subjects like social sciences and humanities because these faculties are dominated by British people). If you studied sciences or STEM, in general they have a more open culture due to its international staff/student body. I'm glad that I didn't come here as an 18-year old from working class background - it would likely have traumatised my uni years. I say this with my decade-long experience in THE university, but things are changing slowly, at least making a facade by setting up an outreach team in some rich colleges and by giving offers to students from comprehensive schools (or kids from underrepresented postcodes).
    2
  5594. Mind-opening idea, Gary. I presume you did the maths for 80, 100, 144 year time limits too. So what are the specific advantages (and disadvantages) of 120 years?
    2
  5595. Perhaps it's down to lifespan? Would like to think it's not an arbitrary number. I assumed this would be applicable to money earned in 1902 onward and not waiting till 2142 before this was applicable. Either way redistribution of wealth inherited and earned by great grand parents seems like a good idea to prevent stockpiling. I suspect it'd just be trust's holding the money at that point
    2
  5596. This is the best video so far. For me, I love capitalism, but I also love socialism. I would like to see a society where both are represented in equal measure. For example, a business needs educated, healthy workers who can focus on whatever the business requires. Well, then we need the worker to be housed, fed, educated and kept healthy. We don't want the worker stressed out and focused in getting a meal on their table. We need a worker who has time to relax and think - maybe bringing new and productive ideas into the business, or creating a new business, or creating some art in their spare time. A worker who can spend quality time with their families. A business needs a worker to produce children - so the business needs to 'collectively' provide for those children because they are the next tax-payers and workers. If workers can't afford children, then the business will search for workers from other countries. There is the immigration problem that is build into capitalism. However, the workers will eventually see that their low salaries do not provide for even a low-level standard of living. Solution? Look around the world and you'll see it - have as many children as possible. Hopefully enough will survive to bring enough money into the household to take care of the parents when they are old and sustain the family - concept being: a lot of a little is enough to survive. The UK is transitioning to this '3rd world' system right now.

  5597. It's because as an aspiring billionaire grindsetter. I want you to stay broke. So that i through the power of hustle culture (and selling you books and courses), will become a passive income landlord cryto billionaire and help you wake up from the matrix.
    2
  5598. Good answer as usual They can't rob you of your dignity yes! We hear a lot about ' values" but you have stticulated some real human values with your customary eloquence. And the call to work together to change the rules that ethic of cooperative action is something we badly need. Well done again. And thanks again
    2
  5599. Gary, firstly thanks for everything you're going mate. I recently discovered you via the James O'Brian podcast and am currently devouring your audio book (excellent accents BTW). My dad is in his 80s, traditional Tory voter (although won't vote for them this time because he isn't an idiot). He and my mum are sat in a property worth a million quid, in the South East of England. Whenever I talk about this type of stuff with him he bangs on about the Laffer Curve. What is my defence to that? Is it bollocks he's picked up from reading The Telegraph? Does there need to be an international movement to truly solve this issue, or can significant enough domestic progress be made without the rich finding a fiscal sanctuary elsewhere?

  5602. Please try and reach out to joe rogan! I hear you on panels like piers Morgan and there not listening or allowing you to finish your points and arguments. I think you could reach the most people there and he has the best conversational environment to get your points and predictions and overall message to the masses. You’re an important, concise and clear voice in a world of political bullshit! I for one would love to see you heard a lot more! Cheers Gary
    2
  5603. Let’s go!
    2
  5604. Total respect for what you do and I’ve learned so much since discovering your channel but I have to say, these videos are all really, really bad for my mental health; always come away from them FUMING!!!
    2
  5605.  @gyorkshire257  perhaps I was not detailed enough in my post. Bitcoin, like all currencies, is backed by belief, which can be demonstrated by the energy that goes into it. GBP has value because enough people believe it has value. For an outsider to prove this value they could point to the energy that goes into earning GBP (e.g. that most of us go to work and that we have a more or less functioning economy). In the same sense I would believe your oven has value if I was given evidence that you had made good use of it i.e. burned a lot of coal (or preferably a cleaner energy source).
    2
  5606.  @1simonruss  The energy put into something does not give it value. If it did, I could simply dig holes all day and sell them. GBP stands as a symbol of all the useful work which occurs in the UK, not the resources which are consumed in order to create this work. Bitcoin mining creates only bitcoin, nothing with a use value intrinsic to itself is created, therefore bitcoin is backed by nothing. It is the most extreme form of fiat currency.

  5607. good stuff

  5608. Congratulations Gary, I'm so thrilled! I can't actually buy it yet 😢 I'm saving to get a house and I'm only a band 3 for the NHS, so ya know! Sorry, But I can't wait to get it once I'm sorted, PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON! All the best to you 🌹
    2
  5609.  @garyseconomics  yeah the other videos always left me wanting more after 10 minutes! It is interesting to hear you free flow for 15-20mins
    2
  5610. This is CRAZY! Out of nowhere I was thinking I haven’t seen Gary’s video wondering for a while so I searched for your channel on YouTube and I saw your video posted an hour ago! Welcome back!!! Lets go!!

  5611. Superb and accessible analysis of the flaws and advantages of capitalism.

  5613. Hi from Athens Greece, Thanks for the great work this year enjoy Japan and we will support and join your channel 👍🤙

  5614. Wow ! People got paid twice 🤯 even worse. Brilliant video reviewing the present situation Gary. Still going on even worse than ever 😳 you are the only person on the internet who has analyzed this correctly and is speaking about it….and is this now going to get even worse. Where is the money for Labour’s new wealth fund going to come from ? 😳😳 government money printing, borrowing, deficits is the root of the evil. Do you think the rich planned this ? Knew what they were doing ? Or are they just floating along like everyone else reacting to government rubbish ?

  5615. Welcome back to the shitshow Gary. 👍🏼

  5623. Welcome back Gary, congrats on your book 🥳
    2
  5624. Pleased to see that someone who no doubt appeals to the younger investor has a realistic view of crypto. It's refreshing, and like you, I do get why the younger 'investor' is drawn into the dream, when they perhaps have little chance of doing as well or better than the often quoted 'boomers'. Hopefully they are listening, and try a more traditional approach to investment.
    2
  5625. BEYOND WELL SAID... In my experience on Wall Street since the early 1980s. (not having a Masters and not having a PhD) what IlLearned as a proprietary, traitor, and what I do know is that economists are a waste of time and are overpay ed as well. They may wright monthly reports (tomes) that are 100+ pages long for God knows what reason. If they're the best, they're only right 50% of the time if that I'd rather take a coin and flip it myself. At least the coin only cost $0.25, $1.00...OK, if you want to use a gold coin, go at it...Economists are about as good as a Weather man without any windows in his office!

  5631. This really hit hard mate..... if only there were more people like you in the world, we'd be a lot better off. Thank you for being such a positive influence in society.

  5632. Oh, I get it now, that coin dropping is a hat tip/nod to 7/8 year old you dropping the pound on the way to the shops?

  5637. Mate, switched on as always. Looking forward to grabbing your book (pre-ordered). Your a good man with an insight than many of us will never experience in that arena and opening it up to all of us to see. God bless bro. We basically grew up in the same kinda neighbourhood.

  5640. Using graphics like in this video really helps to explain concepts. Would be great to see more graphics in Gary's new videos too.
    2
  5641. Gary, I'm in the US. So very glad I found you. I'm tweeting your vlogs out because the People here don't know what is happening, other than we have more and more homeless WITH Jobs, and inflation like crazy. We did not get the amount of money during Covid that other countries provided. We are also being swamped with immigrants, that we all want to help, but they are getting more bennies than regular Americans. I ADORE, Prof. Michael Hudson, and Prof. Richard Wolff. We NEED YOUR VOICE! Keep it going. Keep Spilling the Truth. Tax WEALTH NOT Wages!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2
  5642. Kate totally ignores asset appreciation as reason why the insanely wealthy got wealthier during covid. She uses the right wing stereotype that the rich were better at adapting, and made it through profits/working. Naaaaah

  5650. I like the hat slowly moving back as the video goes on. I am gonna get the audio book and I am looking forward to it! I have a lot of friends into crypto and other investments and I am not really interested in it. I am sure it can work for some people thought it has always looked like gambling and I have never been too good at that. I am fortunate that me and my mrs have gotten a house I grew up as poor as you can be and it isn't nice. Though I think everyone things they want to be rich I would much rather just have enough. I am building my own small business now and I thinkif i can build that to a sustainable amount i'd be thrilled.

  5651. You’re alright, Gary.

  5652. Thanks from Canada Gary. I've learn a ton from you.

  5658. Keep up the good fight mate! I rarely share Youtube videos with friends and family, but I share every single one of yours. We all need more education! The smokescreen diversion of immigrants as the problem really makes me angry. It's an emotive argument which is contrary to all facts and data.

  5659. Excellent video. Thank you

  5673. Just saw Gary smile for first time .
    2
  5674. Gary, I was in an ordinary little cafe in a small town in northern England and I saw a bloke reading your book. I got talking to him and there were three people in the cafe that had seen your YT videos. So yes you are getting cut through. I am not from the 'Left' and used to be on the 'Centre Right' but it's dawned on me that we can't have a sustainable form of liberal democratic capitalism with such high levels of inequality. Indeed it goes beyond economics, we appear to have techno oligarchs who are super rich (as you have described) but also have a destabilising output and an increasingly autocratic attitude.
    2
  5675. It seems all the guys with sage words today are called Gary.
    2
  5676. I find this stuff is just as important for people to hear in Australia. Keep up the good work mate.
    2
  5677. I love how you just laugh and shrug off a bit of casual prejudice there.
    2
  5678. I've noticed you do have let these things go a lot when you're from a poor background and have to regularly interact with bougie people.
    2
  5679. I like how the interviewer says at the end 'im exhausted!'😂
    2
  5680. This is great, you should start a podcast
    2
  5681. Hi Gary, just finished reading your book, fabulous insight and confirms a lot of what I think and witnessed with big business. Most of what you say in this video has also come to pass in Australia, sadly!
    2
  5682. Oh wow. Thank you for resharing this. Now I get it.
    2
  5683. Hey man - Your crystal ball is rearing its head now... Or better put, your initial observations are sound and your logic has been confirmed in hindsight. Cheers! Let's keep hoping I guess.
    2
  5684. I'd happily donate if you set something up

  5691. Thanks Gary, just found you after watching Politics Joe

  5692. Great analysis Gary, unfortunately those in power are the rich and their families and friends are the rich I suppose you could say the mice are in charge of the cheese larder. How will this inequality ever resolve
    2
  5693. One of the only sources of information I trust these days. Every outlet has an agenda, including this one I guess… maybe it’s just that I can get behind an agenda to stop the super rich controlling everything 🤷

  5702. Gary, I ended up here after watching your interview about your book on Insider. Keep up the good work and finally let's change this f*cked up world. A friend from the collapsed CS.
    2
  5703. Truth bombs Gary 🔥. This is a great one to show my friends. A lot of them do what you say and just compare their situation to those around them and think everyone working pays tax. This makes if easy for some of the more right wing press to convince them all our economical problems stem from illegal immigrants and benefit fraud. Not the Duke of Westminster dodging billions in tax. Keep going mate ✊️

  5706. Amazing job, calm and clear and fair
    2
  5707. That the ultra rich are ultra rich because of merit is the one thing that surprise me the most when I hear it from poor or struggling right wing people. They truly believe in that massive lie. How can we help them see the truth?
    2
  5708. Only just seen this- well said Gary
    2
  5709. Hi Gary, I bought your book and read it in three days! So impressed that I bought another copy and sent it to my son, so that’s two more to add to your total 😊.
    2
  5710. Such wonderful news. Can’t wait to continue with my audio version 👍
    2
  5711. I am from India. I have been wanting to understand how real world economics works for many years but didn't have a good source who simplied the concepts and talked about real world problems. This is the first time I found something like that. You have great insights, big heart and good skill to communicate things. May you find success in your mission, mate!
    2
  5712. Powerful talk Gary
    2
  5713. Just heard you on LBC.. wow..mind blown!

  5714. Congratulations, Jimmie! Thats intellectual honesty and integrity, being curious enough to break out. ❤

  5715. I lay bricks and even I can see this

  5716. This guy sucks. He just talks, no actual data, just vibes.
    2
  5717. The way I see this unfolding… ✅ Understand the real issues, get informed. ✅ Talk about it with your peers, spread the word. ✅ Get the politicians to hear that chatter. ✅ Encourage and demand politicians discuss and feel it. ✅ Push for real change.
    2
  5718. Congrats on over 100k subs Gary. Thanks for everything you do. Looking forward to the book, to seeing the channel grow, to seeing the message spread and, hopefully, seeing some genuine positive change come about as a result.

  5720. I can't tell you how grateful I am for this content - I agree entirely and thank you for sharing this critical information with all of us. It must be very hard to hold space for such an important alternative argument when you are surrounded by the extreme opposite. I struggle with keeping the faith in the midst of this poly-crisis of climate, financial and social justice collapse. I would love to hear more about how you manage to keep showing up for this argument in spite of the pressure to look away.

  5733. well first of all i wouldn't buy over inflated anything! and still continue to save and live below means and help others ❤ and always forsure keep learning and watching when geniuses are on YT showing us a better way 🙂

  5734. Hi Gary, or anyone else for that matter, I have enough deposit for a mortgage so should I go ahead at this time or wait? Many thanks!

    2
  5736. Hey Gary, shout out from Brazil. Got here from your business insider vídeo. Amazing work, keep it up. There is a guy here with a similar background to yours, ex financial market, building his own media company to dispute the narrative. Funny fact, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. His name is Eduardo Moreira. Look him up! Could be an interesting partnership!
    2
  5737. How rigged and broken is this system from education through to government! I've listened to quite a lot of economists making speeches on YouTube: few are saying anything of value to the real world. They seem only interested in talking shop to each other in their ivory tower using jargon. However thanks to you Gary I understand a lot more about wealth inequality. I would listen to any economist who would talk about it: alas very few do.
    2
  5738. Gary, your book is excellent! Got my parents reading it now!
    2
  5739. You sir have just earned yourself a nice shiny sub.

  5740. That was on best explanation and reasoning for why inequality is bad.

  5741. Just saw the doc on you from bussiness insider - just wanted to say good on ya mate! I'll prolly be checking out your YT now ^^

  5744. A year on. this convo still so relevant. Sunak multi-millionaire PM still in office , Jeremy H*nt chancellor has given away ~350 billion in hidden tax cuts (NI). Levelling up? Poverty, rickets, cold homes, hunger , foodbanks, inflation, extortionate energy prices, still rising, and polluting, ecocide in our rivers and sees, to save money for the Water corps. Levelling up is and has been a cruel joke. At least the Tory are finished, at least for a generation. We need local democracy: Citizen's assemblies now, to make local decisions that affecct us, our streets, our parishes, our villages, towns and cities.
    2
  5745. Wow, how true was this
    2
  5746. It’s so deserved Gary. You are someone who has money but who has a sharing attitude. You are most rich in your heart! ❤️
    2
  5747. Your a typical British lad, sat down talking about issues with a good ole cup of tea. god bless British teconomics.
    2
  5748. Ideally you need to come from money. If not then you need to be very very intelligent in subjects that in this society are valued the most (maths or finance based). Then you need to have ambition & drive (alot of these qualities are come from genetics but this is rarely mentioned. We all know the naturally clever at school kid who just arsed around). Then you need to be able to deal with stress effectively & not be pre disposed to drink and drugs (again theres a big genetics component involved in this). Being good looking helps a whole lot too but this isn't discussed. Another important factor is a big dollop of luck. The best way for average joe to make more money is looking into things ftom the opposite direction. Minimalism & spending less. Being frugal is the best way. Its very difficult though in today's materialistic world.
    2
  5749. Well done Gary!!, these rich people do not like answering questions!. Well said!

  5756. To be fair Garry although poverty is terrible Ive also read a book about a young guy making millions who travels the world and is so unhappy and unsatisfied in many ways. So yes its important to have a decent living standart but its not all money. I was just thinking about you having bought that 'luxury' flat in London at the age of 23( I think) and thought back to when I was 23 and was renting(still am at age of 31) and had nothing but still somehow seemed to enjoy life more than you did back then. It is very interesting book thanks for writing it. But its also important to recognize its not just who has more assets and or who has higher income when it comes to quality of life. You can be millionare trader working from 5am to 6 pm and go home and still think about interest rates and be totally miserable even though technically your living standart on paper is very good.
    2
  5757. The key factor in economics is demographic trends. In fact its all about demographic trends. We (the UK and Europe) are in the majority entering the old age club. and guess what Older people don't spend as much as they did, when they were younger. Not only do they spend less as we get older we are likely to need medical assistance which costs lots of money. The future is very easy to predict! You simply need to look at the amount of younger people there are today, as these are the future. Considering natural change; the worring factor here is, we are in decline. Even in migration is only a tempory fix. The baby boomers are now about to cash in for their pensions and I'm one of them!! Cheers Gary love watching your Vids.

  5761. This is very very good !

  5762. And have a rest Gary and come back stronger…
    2
  5763. Thank you thank you thank you.

  5764. Can you wear a badge on your videos with a punchy message with something like “1% from the 1%” ? I saw you on an interview for the first time today and you have challenged the belief I’ve had since the 70s that taxing the rich will mean they’ll leave and take the jobs with them. Most people don’t have time or the inclination to listen to long interviews so to draw attention - a short slogan that gets right to the point (if you don’t already do this) might help the push for a wealth tax on the super rich 1%.

  5765. Rushing only just paid 20 odd percent of tax on his hundreds if not millions of earnings this year...how?
    2
  5766. The way I see it, the government gives money to the rich which inflates the currency, and then raises interest rates which takes income away from the poor.

  5767. 👌🏼💯💯

  5768. Bang on gazza well done 👌

  5769. thank you gary for educating me by explaining how the government and money works ! its the same copy and paste system down here in trinidad and tobago ... the rich really got richer here !!
    2
  5770. Good to have you back and glad you took your time out. In populist times like these a movement needs authentic individuals to flourish. I am sorry you have to carry that burden, but I think you are the right person to do so. I will support you via patreon! Thanks for your work and dedication. Best wishes from Germany

  5776. Well done Gary, getting better all the time! Keep it up.

  5778. So pleased you are back Gary. I had thought that maybe the pause was to write the book. I'm off to pre order it now. One big supporter of the cause you are working for here!
    2
  5779. Aloha, that was a moving story. I have been digging for 12 months and have yet to meet the person…. Until now. I commented on your game theory video, and regret my judgement. I ama here to help, although I am on hawaii, I dig like a mutha fukka to learn. I am about 10 or 12 of your videos deep. hit me up. I am here. I am ready. This is what I would do.

  5780.  @garyseconomics  good to know
    2
  5781. You are a beacon of light. Please keep it up and keep it going.
    2
  5782. This content is fire!! 🔥 Keep it up!!! 💯
    2
  5783.  @garyseconomics  yes! It’s not a criticism at all - I just wish wealthy had a more specific meaning. My difficulty isn’t with this video it’s with the difficulty we all have being explicit when the media constantly blur what wealth and above average wages are. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but it almost seems deliberate!
    2
  5784. Stevenson for PM! Will be pre-ordering today.
    2
  5785. Awesome!!!
    2
  5786. Such positivity!! ❤

  5787. Gary needs to become the Labor Party. A smart economist with social reform tendencies? A party is a mob looking for a vibe. Political parties should be scared of democratic coups Influence psyops are an effective government toy that the mob have to be aware is being done to them. The history party. Learn from our mistakes. Our history has been written by the msm of the day. Its time for the many to realise they have been in an abusive relationship forever. Gary, youre smarter the kid starver, git em where it hurts. Ive seem the decline of the msm empire in my lifetime, and ive seen cats get more views than world news. Sh!ts gonna happen, How ya gonna play it
    2
  5788. I’ve just finished listening to your audiobook. What an eye opener! I couldn’t stop listening. You send such a powerful message. Thank you for your story, I’ve recommended it to others.
    2
  5789. Morning bro good numbers on political Joe game theory i got a theory Gary tomorrow over thirty million people will get up and co operate to make our system work co operation not competition is our reality and the law doesn't play games the law is wants payment the power of legislation 💪

  5790. + to that

  5791.  @garyseconomics  my bad man. Fair enough, I didn't know it was just you running the channel. I thought you'd have an editor and a camera man there helping you. I was out of line for that. Hearing you ask for money just struck a nerve.

  5798. Question from member of public to Green Party on BBC this morning (18/06/2024) about inequality not featuring in economic projections, huge shifts in wealth from the poor to the richest 1% over last few years. Your message is obviously getting out to a few people.
    2
  5799. Gary is one of the few maverick tenacious characters who has the tenacity courage of His convictions to challenge the established financial status quo ,who wield yield unfettered power unabated over political ,legal ,financial infra structures . pernicious self perpetuating

  5800. Listened to the book on audible. Would highly recommend, and Gary, you could get a job as a narrator no problem

  5805. Awesome welcome back! Congrats on your first book! Sure Id like to pick it up when it comes out!

  5809. Great and inspiring speech. Thanks so much Gray ❤

  5810. Capture of policy makers by the holders of wealth is a major disincentive for progressive revenue collection by governments and certainly makes governments think twice before forcing their benefactors to reveal their true wealth/income...indirectly exposing the inadequate contribution towards society that they make and laying bare the inequality in tax burden. Those prepared to discuss why governments around the world are so strapped for cash are few and far between, that might be because the majority of media is in the hands of wealth. Not even slightly coincidental.

  5817. The right hold up DEI as anti meritocracy but in fact it's nepotism most of the time. The jobs are given to a minority but it's the sons and daughters of the rich and connected, it's not the minorities which they point you at.

    2
  5822. Good video Gary. But there is some basic financial education that people who come from normal background need to know which helps them build wealth. For example. not saving money in cash savings account. Use an ISA, ideally a stocks and shares ISA. Start saving regularly and early. You might not get rich but you can build wealth beyond what your parents ever had and taught you. Teach your kids the same and one day they may be rich.

  5823. Cheers Gaz

  5824. Good work Gary

  5825. I was wondering when this lecture would be re-purposed, it's fantastic. I wonder if Gary meets with other people who 1. want to fix it and 2. know how to be human while doing so?
    2
  5826. I am so happy you and your mug are back. Thank you for these videos! ❤
    2
  5827. Hi Gary, stumbled across your channel and subscribed. Must say, thanks, you do a great job of explaining things! Can you do a follow up of this video having had Labour in power for 7 months now? Keen to get your view on a topic that is really dividing our country. Labour were meant to be the white knight that restored equality... that hasnt happened and arguably is worse than ever!
    2
  5828. Thank you 🙏 sincerely for sharing that. It’s 2am & I really enjoyed that. Always room to give & make a difference ❤ I hope more hearts change.

  5830. A very interesting video.

  5831. so refreshing to have an honest voice as well as someone who does not just splurge stuff out because that's what everyone does. look after yourself gary.
    2
  5832. Thank you you again Gary Stevenson. Liked and posted to X. This is a real blind spot. You spell it out so well. So actually, buying food pays a sort of tax to wealth owners, even though food is not taxed directly to support local services. I want you to know I check the closed captioning on many programs. This one is really accurate. Very important for people with hearing disabilities or have different ways of speaking English (accents and usage differences). Oh, and it uses British English spellings (for instance, realisation: in American English it is realization). Thank you again.
    2
  5833. The biggest problem here in Australia is that we give tax benefits to home owners, to the detriment of renters. So they buy more homes and it's a beautiful place to be for the rich.
    2
  5834. Thanks Gary, even though I agree with a lot of what trump does I can see t he logic in what you say. Thanks for sticking up for the average man!
    2
  5835. The book is very timely. After a 15 year bull market - the longest in history - the gap between rich and poor is at an all time high. Ordinary homes are too pricey for even the well paid middle class to buy, thanks to rampant speculation. So when a rich person writes a book about wealth redistribution it will sell like hot cakes. Maybe he'll be giving the profits to the poor?

  5839. Well im sure the couple of trillion the Americans printed werent helping the poor. They basically printed their way out of the GFC and gave the money directly or indirectly to the same people who caused it. Its sad to see other countries follow the same ruiness path.

  5840. Like and share to help others learn and build the movement.

  5841. Just discovered your channel Gary, listened to the BBC Newscaste this morning, where is this documentary, I cannot find it!! I went to LSE (but at 40, to research why my mum did not want to use a computer), this brings back memories, the SSL, I went to Catz (at 49 History of Design). Looking forward to the BBC documentary.
    2
  5842. Damn. Not really the answer I was hoping for there.
    2
  5843. Amazing. Thanks.

  5844. That was phenomenal, well done young man. Thank you for helping others to see things from a different perspective and question ourselves just why we make the decisions we do and choosing to do it differently from now on 😎🇦🇺
    2
  5845. What would happen if soon after you took a mortgage, the housing market crashes? Would you be stuck paying a high price of a now devalued asset?
    2
  5846. At least Gary you're not doing what most American guys do on social media and that is...talk for 20 minutes about how good it is to make money etc and how you could make people do the same....sheep sheep

  5847. I’ve only just stumbled upon your content and it’s fantastic! Beautifully simple for ordinary people to understand and Learn how the system is failing them. This may sound like a very strange pairing but I think there’s a chance Mr beast may want to collaborate with you or help share your message to the world. He has the biggest YouTube channel in the world (241 million subscribers) but lives a surprisingly humble life. He has recently devoted his time and effort to helping people who are struggling through life with his channel beast philanthropy. Even though it may not seem at first a very natural collaboration I feel he would be interested in a way to spread your message and help re balance the world 🌎 and with 241million subscribers he he’s a very loud voice!!

  5851. You got me interested in Economics Gary and I've tried several books but got lost about half way through. I just read Yanis Varoufakis "Talking to my daughter about the economy" and he explains it so simply that even someone who just about scraped a pass in O level maths can understand it. Gave a copy to our 20 year old for xmas with instructions to read it and learn how capitlim will be gaslighting him. Got him tosubscribe to your channel too. Keep on keeping on.

  5852. Eny body done with reading it. Please pass it to me rather than charity shop

  5855. Rough & brilliant! Some comments border on transcendence. So many people & groups of people get trapped in ideological rigidity. Easy to do so. Done it myself. We get caught up in seemingly endless arguments over capitalism versus socialism, arguments that go nowhere as they’re stuck in the past. Those are 18th & 19th Century terminologies & are anachronisms today in the 21st. I don’t have an answer, especially when one factors in deglobalization, shifts in demographics, AI & robotics, & increasing warfare & political instability. But all those damn isms from yesteryear just do not work. Plus throw in the uncertainty of climate disruptions & pandemics. And, getting rich by working together is iconic, Gary. For me that approach means being in service unto others as well as for one’s self; can’t really separate the two. Thank you.
    2
  5856. You're putting yourself out there, thank you, this is admirable. This is how change can be made. Stand up and be counted! And forgive yourself your missteps.
    2
  5857. Thankyou gary for making your videos 😇

  5858. 🍻Gary

  5859. I don't think it has much to do with being told that we are failures if poor. I think at least for me I want to enjoy my life not spend most of my time cleaning poo out of toilets to barely get by, that's why people I know want to be rich, so you can actually enjoy your life without all the worries.

  5860. What a brain ! That tory MP was Lost ! Completly out of her depth, and austerity wasnt johnson, that was the revival, it was CAMERON ! Gary you are the saviour of my class, hopefully,! 🙌🏻 and you made muppets out of these lot 🤣🏆

  5865. I'll be buying. Gary, thanks for everything you do.

  5866. Sorry man. I bought the audio book. I am lazy.😢

  5867. Welcome back, mate.
    2
  5868. Love this channel !!!
    2
  5869. I love his accent. Its like a British bad boy, they always sound so polite but his is a bit rugged
    2
  5870. That video was fire! If you can shed more light on the other economic news like Unemployment Claims, Non-farm payrolls, and PMI that would be great. just a brief touch same style as that video. For me was eye opening.
    2
  5871. Wow this guy is seriously impressive. Should be on every economics panel show so the public can hear what is really going on, not the BS narrative that keeps us subjugated to maintain the grotesquely unequal status quo!
    2
  5872. Well done Gary 👍 Institute of Economics Affairs is a right wing think tank, their views are overexposed on the BBC as they are ALWAYS given a platform there. Funded by the rich and hiding behind a disingenuous name. BBC let’s see more Garys and less IEA!
    2
  5873. Now I know witch book will be the fist in this year I will buy.
    2
  5874. So glad I found your channel Gary, I'm so happy that there is at least one person trying to make a positive change. I am at least 0.2% less pessimistic about the future
    2
  5875. I think another problem is not just the division of the working class (I myself being in that category) is that people like myself don't have the proper understanding of politics. I think politicians make it very difficult for us to understand how the systems work. But that makes sense right if you don't understand how can u change it. You just end up angry for something you feel u have no control over and can't change it because you just haven't an understanding of it. That's why finding people like yourself speak plainly about this situation is just so refreshing and really engaging! It actually makes me excited to listen and learn because I know and understand what you are saying... It's that simple. Thank you for doing what you're doing. I hope it makes a big difference in this world.
    2
  5876. Shout out from across the pond. Being from a country with absurd levels of income inequality, I find what you say fascinating. "First you learn to maintain, after that, create change." I think the real solution comes down to rebuilding the networks and establishing new networks which unfortunately hundreds of years of capitalism has destroyed. People like yourself have the means to create this change, unfortunately you still want to play within their rules. Create a bank that provides real investment to your communities and doesn't deny or punish people for being poor. Stop looking at everything through the lens of profit, and instead through the lens of investment. Only through investment in the world's people and our environment will we overcome the terrible situation we've put this planet and all the life that resides on it. There's more to life than the pursuit of wealth. We as human beings must establish new social systems that are truly sustainable and not built on exploitation for a finite period or a finite group. Let's create something new and stop expecting the old systems to bring the change we need.

  5877. Suggested to me by the algorithm after I'd watched "Shorty Swing My Way" by KP and Envyi. As Otara Millionaire's Club might say, "how bizarre". Glad it did.

  5895. I am going to play this immediately

  5896. Your a good man Gary, my m8 lived down your rd and I was round there on a regular, I remember the house shaking as the trains went past and taking your life in your hands crossing plessis bridge, so good not only to see someone make it out but to actually try and help change things instead of turning your back and pretending thats not where you came from, just wanted to say thank you 👍

  5901. Another great video Gary, hope you're well chap

  5902. Everyone needs to see this video. So many people are being conned by the wealthy and targeting high taxpayers for more tax.
    2
  5903. This guy is brilliant ❤
    2
  5904. Gary I was brought up in a very poor area in a stair in Edinburgh. I’m sure use had stairs down there just use didn’t stay in one. So you don't have to tell me I know all about those hard times but what separates your upbringings to mines was you were just born naturally good with numbers were people from our up bringing aren't usually. I mean it is good to see and hear someone like you has took the skills he was born with and built on them. So I just wanted to remind you yes we had similar up bringing but we didn't have the same opportunities
    2
  5905. a great an inciteful message , very well put
    2
  5906. Great message, explained well... nod to the algo- its important your voice is heard far n wide Mr.Stevenson.

  5907. Just bought the audiobook :)

  5908. The ending part was the most important message 👏🏾

  5909. Brilliant. ❤

  5910. 'Work hard and get wealthy' is such shit chat. Apparently billionaires work 200,000 times harder than the average worker. Nonsense.

  5912. 👍

  5913. Interest rates are increasing due to inflation and inflation will lower the cost of real loan repayment so it would benefit mortgage holders in that sense. Also you group the rich as one they aren’t. The banks are losing money at the moment due to high inflation as it massively exceeds the interest rate at 5.5% as interest rates are at 0.5%, therefore the money they need to pay back is devalued. Explain this to us Gary please but I would also like to say thank you for all the content I am 16 and am enjoying your content after discovering you from an assembly at my school. Many thanks
    2
  5914. Also you mentioned how the rich have large amounts of cash won’t inflation affect them the most by devaluing it or do they generally put money into assets like you have specified in other videos. Love you’re content I go to a Charter a state school in south east London and I’m trying to understand economics. Thanks
    2
  5915. Have an amazing time in Japan, mate! Your holiday is also a win for me since it gives me a chance to catch up on all the videos I've missed. Enjoy your trip, G!

  5916. You cycled past me on Thursday, the Father in me almost shouted "put a helmet on young man" 😂 Keep up the good work Sir
    2
  5917. Welcome back, Gary. I started listening to you yesterday, and loved your strong message about the importance of working together. it occurred to me this morning (slow thinker), that this is why the likes of Reform, who basically exist to promote the interests of the rich, are so desperate to divide people. Keep going, please. From the ever superior South London.
    2
  5918. Great!!!
    2
  5919. Hey Gary I just discovered you as you’re taking a break. But I see I have 4 years to catch up. I think your first video was fing amazing!!!!! You got so much right!!! I got a few things right but you really got it so sight brother!!! I am going to support you I have never sent money to any YouTuber you will be my first !!!! I think you could wake ppl up!!!
    2
  5920. Great book . Having worked in the city albeit a different element - I recognised the macho culture and the different characters you talk about. I finished the book in about three sittings - inciteful, poignant, page turner. The explanations of what you were trading and how could have been tedious but added extra interest and understanding. I hope it gets as wide an audience as it deserves.
    2
  5921. From retired postman to a postman's son, thanks Garry.
    2
  5922. Gary Stevenson: I just finished your book. Took me two days and I devoured it. Your account of being a trader made really compelling and insightful reading. The answer I’d been searching for most of my life was right there in your book. 📕 Once I become very aware of that, it has been quite liberating. HUGE congratulations on the book. You’ve been through some harsh times. I really wish you the very best of health and happiness. At the end of the day, that’s what makes us all mega wealthy. Thx 🙏🏽 Gary.
    2
  5923. I hope you read all these comments, Gary. You’re really opening eyes and minds, mine included!!

  5927. And the Tories? Will they set taxes on assets/wealth? This will devour their base. The only conclusion is that Austerity MK2 is somewhere in our future.
    2
  5928. "We gotta get out of this place if it's the last thing we ever do...": as true today as in the 60's, nothing says resentment like a ruling class wallet in a working class accent of the original mother tongue of the Original "sun never sets" Gangsters. Move over Dickens, new sheriff in town at a (YouTube) theater near you. Solidarity, right on!

  5929. System is bent

  5930. This is the best video on YouTube. Please talk more about Reagan and Thatcher and what they did to these countries in 2025.

  5931. Good luck Gary. I am with you, we desperately need change and you can be a big help.

  5932. I hope you are having a great trip , you work hard and you have to make sure you take enough time out-Thanks for all you do.

  5933. That was deep and heart felt Gary. What a journey you’ve been on. Thanks for sharing.

  5934. Main thing I've taken away from this is man fucks with Zojirushi rice cookers, legit an informed member of society

  5937. When we eventually get around to eating the rich can we all agree we don't eat Garry he is one of us 😂

  5938. Gary is a clown

  5939. Good to see you again :)
    1
  5940. If there are multiple opinions on how to solve a problem, it usually means it hasn’t been solved. Mental health, the economy, so many diverse views. It means the problem isn’t understood. Gary speaks the most sense. I’ve always laughed at economists because they all disagree and get it wrong.
    1
  5941. I wish I could make every member of the shadow cabinet watch this

  5942. thanks for coming back and well done with the book 🤙

  5943. This guy is full of s hit, his message is dangerous, one of the ways you know that is because you don't have to bend your mind around what he's trying to say, he's presented it as clear to understand, a couple of glaring things, the housing market is in terrible shape, the media and people like right move have skewed the stats but trust me if you're trying to sell a house right now it's gonna go unless you price way way under what it would have went for 2 years ago, the other thing he mentions is the "redistribution of wealth" and refers often to "the rich" (whatever that means), like they're a breed who all make the same moves, they're all gonna pile into the housing market and buy up the floor at the right time!??! Hahaha they're all sitting on piles of cash and making 5% whilst real inflation is 10%+ etc... what a load of codswallop, he's. hinting that we should aim for even more state control to try and control financial markets which is the exact reason we keep falling into more and more terrible positions, he's trying to conflate people who believe in free market capitalism with racists, personally I want complete freedom of travel/work location for every human on the planet but I also want to do away with trying to take the fruits of the publics labor and redistribute it, I don't wanna pay for other peoples health care and schooling, I want them to take care of themselves

  5944. I do not fuck with trader bros; I do fuck with Gary's Economics.

  5945. We can't regenerate the economy if we can't regenerate ourselves. Have nice hols.

  5946. The book sounds great! I've wondered where you were. Hope you have a brilliant Christmas and much success in the new year!

  5956. Thanks for getting back to me bro all the best 👍 Namaste 🙏

  5957. You say the same thing every week it feels like. Inequality and tax 😅 Unsubscribed 😆

  5958. Someone please make a T-shirt with “wealth inequality is a cancer”

  5959. Outstanding - extraordinary speech! This has really affected me and made me think more deeply about how I can serve others. This ought be broadcast the world over. Everyone needs to hear this, particularly the wealthy. You are a very gifted man, Gary. And you are having a profound effect on so many. I wish you a lovely holiday in Japan and hope it refreshes you for what's next on your agenda. Thank you so much. ❤

  5960. Boom 💥 glad to have you back and always appreciate your words of wisdom and transparency !!

  5961. Delighted to have you back Gary. Looking forward to you're commentary in the coming months.

  5963. welcome back and merry christmas

  5964. Wonderful helpful explanations ❤
    1
  5965. I found your channel just as you left so I was a little sad that the content stopped. So this is great to see you’re back and are moving forward with this. Welcome back Gary, time to make a difference!
    1
  5966. Sorry, but this is presentation is nonsense. Your ‘analysis’ flows from an assumption which is that each generation sets off from a lower point than their predecessors….and arrives at the astonishing finding that collectively everyone is getting poorer. Which was your initial assumption. This is tautology!
    1
  5967. 🍻 Gary
    1
  5968. A big brain is hiding under that hat ! Extremely interesting analysis

  5969. And the first ad that comes up after this excellent video is that bloke with luminous teeth trying to sell me his trading program....
    1
  5970. Such a beautiful video, but let me tell you the problems run deep. As a scientist, therev are so many things we could do, using new technologies to make food and housing and energy cheaper, but we won't. Nobody of the people in power care of have the intelligence to understand.
    1
  5971. Gary although educated in the UK n the 1950s I have lived my adult life in Ireland as a chartered accountant and investment banker and now aged 86 and retired. I am fascinated by your talks. Could you do some research on how Ireland has been so successfull since 1960 when I was a student please. What have we done that the UK might copy. Maybe you could visit Dublin and give some public lectures on your findings. Or write some articles for the Irish Times newspaper. Maybe contact fellow economist David McWilliams. Start by reading our First Programme for Economic Expansiin published in 1960 that is what changed Ireland when I was aged 21. David McCabe

  5972. awesome stuff gary! I'd buy the book if I had the money to, can't wait to pick it up when i can
    1
  5973. Brilliant stuff, Gary, thanks. Beautifully explained.
    1
  5974. 12 years ago, I was about to start using my self employed pension fund that i had saved up for over 30 years. I discovered that it was more or less worthless, so instead of retiring i had to continue working & start saving all over again. I thought that this can't be right, something is going on. So i started reading books about banking & traders on Wall Street. This lead to reading books on Law, which lead to history. I have now a fairly complete picture of what is going on. I can't speak to anyone about it because it is so horrific that most people would say i was mad or i was a conspiracy theorist. Fortunately Gary has morals and he is brave enough to try & tell the story. I wouldn't have the confidence to speak in public & i don't have the first hand knowledge that Gary has. I wish him all the best & hope he is successful.
    1
  5975. I'm putting this here because that's what the Tube wants to see.

  5976. Hopefully you get a political party up and running before the next general election. Will be a party of the majority not the few.

  5977. I'll be buying the book, as a fellow lower class london man in the financial sector

  5978. Gary, magic Channel. Talk to us about Trumps economic proposals. Bless you Mate.

  5981. Sorry, your ideas have been tried before and have failed. You’ll learn.

  5988. Since it's been 5 months I have to ask, did this channel move to another platform? Although I am in another country, I find this channel to be of value for my perspective while my family is getting squeezed downward again mid-life. Reading so many overly optimistic narratives that are one‐sided in the news, media, and social platforms from those who are comfortable gambling essentially, can be quite disorienting. At this point I'm not sure what many of use average people should do as sinking (saving, overpaying without decades long commitment) and swimming (debt, purchase despite cost risk which is counter intuitive to better long term judgement) look to be about the same from this vantage point.Sub-optimal outcome. Thanks for what you have chosen to share, it certainly helps one to wrap their heads around a situation most of Us never asked, or were raised for weathering knowledgably.
    1
  5989. Thank God Garry! I thought THEY had got to you lol. Way to go!!! I look forward to the book release

  5995. I was aware of a lot of this, but that point about the middle class losing their assets was one I'd not really explored in detail. Thanks Gary.

  5996. Don't be on holiday too long! We need you 😂 cheers

  5997. When you have someone on a panel who isn’t a politician or replying with filtered party line responses it adds massively to the discussion.

  5999. Excellent talk Gary. This needs to be a TED talk.

  6006. You’re doing an amazing thing Gary. Enjoy your holiday and take as much time as you need to figure out the right strategy. This is a great movement; just beginning. I have a lot of faith in you and we need your input in some tough times.

  6021. Simply commenting to help your video reach more people! Solid stuff and a much needed effort to make a change..... Gary for Finance minister?
    1
  6022. Liked with comment and shared
    1
  6023. Keep up the good work Gary, you are an inspiration! From a Youtube point of view, I was wondering if a video with Abroad in Japan could be good at some point given your love and ties to the country. Probably nothing too political, but a good way to gain more followers. Maybe it wouldn't work, but I thought I'd mention it 👍
    1
  6024. Well explained Gary just come across you by chance through the telegraph article that reported on your early years as an interest rate trader in the City. The other part was that you were from Ilford a place I know only too well . Binge watching the rest of your content over the next few weeks 🎉
    1
  6025. Poor Gary the Marxist cult got him!

  6026. We need you on a joe rogan podcast!

  6029. Missed you bro. 🎉🎉

  6033. So Gary's to busy to read this now he's got a book deal 😂

  6035. Love you man. Thank you....

  6036. I knew you were doing big things when you were away from YouTube. I will be buying it when it comes out. You are doing good work for the world.
    1
  6037. JUST look at their faces!!! when Gary says 'Is it leveling up when you give a poor person £2.50 and a rich person £700 pounds!! What a picture! And once again...am I the only person to comment in NINE MONTHS?? Gary you're not getting any traction because the thieves have shadow banned your channel bud!!:chillwcat:
    1
  6038. Well the closest I'm to a rich person is that we use the same dishwasher liquid 😂

  6039. The most honest, helpful video I've seen in a long time! Thank you for telling it like it is.

  6040. Thanks for pointing at reality and not taking advantage of people

  6041. Welcome back Gary!!! So glad you're back, you have been missed. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and looking forward to 2024! 🍾

  6042. Gary would you like your hat on or off? Gary: "Yes"
    1
  6043. when truth comes falsehood perishes
    1
  6044. Damn. Gary is nostradamus with his prediction that wealth inequality conversation will be sabotaged by the rise of the right! Predicted on 25th June...EDL riots in August. This is the danger of the 'us' and 'them' rhetoric. It can be manipulated. It would be interesting if there were at least one person with +£10Million net worth that would voluntarily/publicly support this campaign for the greater long term economic good!
    1
  6045. Gary's stupid economics is back.... Here for more politics of envy and economic ideas that have failed where ever they have been tried 🤡
    1
  6046. HERO!

  6047. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, £700bn of government debt

  6050. Congrats Gary, so excited to read the book!

  6051. Hes 100% correct bitcoin its a scam
    1
  6052. We don't have to tax wealth. We just have to tax the rich like the rest of us, including their off-shore trusts. So tax all unearned income the same as earned income with no upper limit to Nat Insurance & the same 20% & 40% brackets. And that their Trusts also pay inheritance tax
    1
  6053. Thank you Gary.
    1
  6054. Thanks for the discount code 😊 I’ve made a resolution to pick up and read books going forward in my life and the first book I ordered a few days ago was James O’Brien’s new one and your book is now the second (can I suggest a James O’Brien ‘full disclosure’ interview stop on your book tour?)…keep up the fantastic work you do!! You have the gift for teaching as I find your channel very educational which also happens to be the exact cure for a huge amount of mistakes made in our country. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
    1
  6055. Only just found your content! Thank you for doing good and not carrying on the easy path making money for nothing. You’re obviously a brave and moral guy
    1
  6056. I came across your video by watching your Business Insider interview. Your background really impressed me. I am a business major who is doing alright for myself. Even though I live in the US, I agree with almost everything you mentioned. This is probably because there are more avenues to make wealth in the US than in the UK. Do mind those avenues in the US are ever shrinking as this country is also following similar steps as the UK. Good work on your video. You just gained a new subscriber. Keep it up! 😍
    1
  6057. This is a good channel for people who don’t know anything about markets or economics. This guy talks complete nonsense.
    1
  6058. I was wondering if you were gonna come back!
    1
  6059. Many thanks Gary 😊

  6060. Most based rich person

  6061. Another direct hit Gary. Throwing stones at an elephant unfortunately. We need a new government and hopefully you get a seat at the table economically.
    1
  6062. I just found your channel ! Better later than never.
    1
  6063. Nice, looking forward to reading it. Merry Christmas to all.

  6064. Last few days I was wondering what happened to you. Congratulations on the book. Can't wait to get it.
    1
  6065. Taxing the rich?!? How radical 😂. I mean think of the good that could be done for society! Inconceivable!
    1
  6066. Thank you for making this video free and accessible! ❤ I really wish the people that need this knowledge would find your YouTube channel… even the algorithm is against us :(

  6067. Great to see you back Gary
    1
  6068. Send love from the USA, found you through an insider interview. Enjoy the vacation

  6069. Brilliant news. So pleased your back and you are pushing your growth. I shall subscribe. I am so glad the channel is pushing forward to help change. Thank you x
    1
  6070. Gary, I am so appreciative of Ur work and commitment to educating the good people. I now know that immigration is not the whole cause of doctors councils failing. It's the lack of government money. Because they sold off all the assets the government is broke and cannot afford to pay for pensioners and the poor. I would love to support the channel and your good work. Take care of yourself "sir Gary", please know that so many people love the message u spread and love u for your selfless work. I voted reform as I believe it's our only way to get people's voices heard. It's so hard to get people to believe in a new way of thinking. God bless u for Ur common sense.

  6071. Finally an economist who doesn't read a speech of a teleprompter or memorized every single word 👏👍

  6072. HAPPY NEW YEAR GARY. GOD BLESS YOU MATE.

  6073. "I'm going on holiday". Glad to have you back, dude.

  6074. Jeez. Give the other guy a chance to speak. 😂
    1
  6075. Welcome back! Boy have we missed your insights!
    1
  6076. I don't know what I could do as an individual to make a difference as someone who's grown up in a council estate. Like you, went to uni, been in a junior position for a year now. 25k isn't a lot, but it's the most I've ever earned yearly. But even then and like with most. I think we all face the reality that we'll never own our own homes, and we'll likely be stuck in wage slavery until we die. Of course, I'll try everything within my power to make sure that doesn't happen. Eventually there will be a point where riots will break out if too many ordinary folk become stretched. I believe in free markets, but it should be made law that businesses that earn a certain amount have to reinvest in the economy in which it made its profits. The only way to change things is making the government accountable for the policies it puts in place. And probably change the way the current political system operates. No clue how you could achieve any of this given the current vested interests of the members in these positions of power. All you can do is spread the word and make more people aware of whats going on.
    1
  6077. Hoooray 🎉🎉🎉 merry xmas lets fix the country

  6078. Are the profits from the book going into this project to expose how the system works? Or to create a new one?

  6079. My second video im watching of yours, already have DOUBLED my previous knowledge
    1
  6080. Do what works for you to keep your mental health on point whilst still providing us with such amazing value. Can't lose yourself to the cause but the. cause is equally important. We CAN do it.

  6081. Gary, Melanie Phillips made mincemeat out of you on tonight's moral maze.
    1
  6082. also absolutely hilarious you say bitcoin go down 100% (it literally cannot) then talk about how buying shares is great, yep, until they go down literally 100%
    1
  6083. Gary, you’re an absolute legend, sharing your insights. I discovered a few of your videos last year and have been enjoying watching you ever since. You’re doing some valuable work here and I don’t mean that in a monetary sense, it’s socially valuable. Why shouldn’t we be taxing the richest more? Of course we have to deal with the cronyism first. The tories have been installing their people in positions of media power for the past decade at least. Thanks Gary.
    1
  6084. Great, on my list to buy, but what’s coming next is, where do we get a signed copy 😂😉🥰

  6093. Top man, God bless 🙏

  6094. Just discovered your videos. Very raw real information and insights. I have subscribed and will continue to watch. One of the biggest assets the rich buy in the U.S. is politicians. Don't know about the 🇬🇧 where I was born. Thank you and hope you are able to keep up the massage. the MESSAGE is so important. Thank you.Thank you. I think you will find this message and your channel will grow and hopefully it will help the political community will feel the support and be emboldened to tax the super rich and corporations more in line to be able to redistribute the wealth among those that need it. And the middle class. Thanks again . I will watch all vids and read book. Look forward to the movie!!

  6095. Go Gary! You are the man! You can make this growth happen.

  6096. Thanks for all your efforts Gary. Great to see you on Russell Brand's podcast. Looking forward to your book. All the best.

  6113. Good, your back! Neoliberalism is a religion that cannot allow any descent. They have all the money & use it to persuade everyone the financial sector is productive. The economic rent collectors have won. Marx wrote Capital in 3 volumes - Vol 2 & 3 usually gather dust & are not examined , but that is where you will find the critique of the FIRE sectors - the free lunch brigade. Before WW1 industrial capitalism was on the road to socialism that industrialists knew would lower the cost of production. Then the Chicago boys turned economics into a religion & excommunicated any one who was not a true believer - in true fascist style. Neoliberalism is junk economics - may be you can expand on that.

  6114. Been looking forward to this fella! Can’t wait to read it.

  6120. Gary, keep on keeping on..... Your rattling cages of the establishment... Great.. But you need a strategist and sounding board to protect YOU from the establishment and the haters. Look after YOU ... Enjoy Japan.

  6121. This guy is pretending to be a socialist to sell you a book lol. Classic grift.
    1
  6122. Shouldn't you be giving the book free to those who can't afford it? You're just another millionaire trying to make more millions...

  6128. Fantastic to have you back Gary.

  6129. I just wanted to say, if you ever see this, that it makes a difference; every time you have to repeat the phrase "money is not a resource" it makes a difference, every time you have to say again "look at the distribution" it makes a difference, you are not shouting into a void, it is working, if slowly, but it is working. Every time i watch a video of yours I swallow up a hundred questions that I have no one around to answer me, I am transferring to try to study something in economics, dreading finding out that you are right and that nobody there will care to know or tell me about the world I am living in. You are an incredible resource and it is a shame for you and for us that it has fallen on your back to teach millions of people what should have been taught at every school in this country: From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

  6130. Great to see you back Gary let’s go 💪

  6132. Speaking of your ‘voice’, you absolutely have to record the Audible version yourself, Gary. That’s a huge part of your “keeping it real” appeal and a key component of the ‘Gary’s Economics’ brand, IMHO. We need to hear it from ‘the horse’s mouth’, mate.
    1
  6133. Cool man but you need to cross the barrier to political action if you really believe in what you say, its a deeply corrupt system and you must understand that you are trying to pick a fight with Titans, big finance wed to deep state parasitically corrupting and roting society, they are ruthless unless you like a fight forget it, cheers.

  6135. Why are you talking utter rubbish when you claim to be an expert. Look up your own postcode and do this again. Make up a postcode and tell me what one you are using and I will see if there has been a massive crash that is being hidden by you and the government. If you were an expert you would not be saying this.

  6136. Yeey Garry's back i was worried about him. Thought the MSM had taken him out or something.

  6154. Good for you Gary, I'm glad the book deal has worked out for you, even though initially it wasn't something you were interested in. Btw, this might sound like a stretch too far, but maybe in a couple of years time, you might think about becoming the Mayor of London. in between time I'm sure there are Many things you could put your skill and knowledge to, as the song says 🎹🎵🎵 Don't stop thing about thinking about tomorrow ⭐⭐

  6155. I just saw the video on business insider. KEEP GOING GARY!!! IM SENDING THIS AROUND!!! I’ve been stuck in a mental loop trying to tell close ones about this. Im a nobody so no one cares. Watching your video gave me hope ✊🏽

  6156. Welcome back Gary Did you know that Torsten Bell from the resolution foundation gave you and your economics book a big shout out recently 👍
    1
  6157. My family is very glad to see you’re back. We were growing concerned for your wellbeing, tbh. Let me volunteer right here to help spread the word of the message of the destructive social impact of economic and wealth inequality message to Canada in anyway I can. Under the influence of inequality society degenerates into a hierarchy of … Beasts and Gods (Aristotle … The Politics) Until the next video …

  6161. Good to see you are back. Sunak was one of the bankers who bet against the banks. Yet this criminal is the PM. Labour fault as they did not hold the criminals to account. Look forward to reading the book.

  6163. Have fun in Japan Gary and thank you for your efforts to teach us

  6164. So nice!

  6165. Wow, the very definition of a straw-man! No-one (who knows anything) advocates for "Trickle Down" Economics. It doesn't exist. It's a boogie-man. When Thomas Sowell challenged someone to cite any Economist advocating for "Trickle Down" Economics, none was found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZPDpk8NA-g But, by all means, attempt to take down anything that sounds free market with further straw men! It makes you look so brave! -An (actual) Economist

  6169. I think in Cat's Cradle Kurt Vonnegut says something along the lines of : it's almost impossible to make money and we would all be a lot kinder to each other if we just admitted that.

  6170. Glad that you’re still around

  6171. Good to have you back.

  6172. Gary, welcome back! However, since you have been away, every day, week, month and year it is getting worse. From crumbling schools to NHS workers on strike. With all the terrible things going on in this country, I fear that your people are going to vote for the Conservative Party even though, this country is the 41st worst place to live in Europe. I look forward to purchasing your book in the coming months however, like I said before, I fear your people will vote for the Conservative Party for the fifth time and in the end this country becomes a society of the elite and the mob! Shame! 😔😔😔

  6173. We're so back

  6174. So good. What about AI, how can we use AI to influence a better outcome for the majority of us?
    1
  6175. Something else to keep in mind is that even the best traders don't get that much ROI. For example the best hedge funds only outperform the SP500 by 3%. So even if you're a full on genius you're only going to be making 20% interest a year. So unless you have a huge stock of capital already you aren't gonna get rich. The best investment advice anyone can give you is to either work at a trading desk or get a decent job and invest your excess into an index fund.
    1
  6176. Best advice I have gotten from anyone that's not my dad.

  6177. Gary, deep thanks for your courage, your honesty, integrity & perseverance. Sone men are born to greatness, some men achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them. You fit the last two categories. You represent us all, including with your vulnerability and your honesty about "not quite knowing what to do, but knowing something has to be done, knowing that if we each don't do it, it will never happen ". I'm a 69-year-old Irish born emigre who lives in the United States. i'm a theatre artist and a communicator & this topic and the topic of economic justice, wealth inequality, and indeed how "economics" actually represent our individual life energies and how we share them together in a thing called a marketplace… Have always been profoundly interesting to me. You've reinspired me in my own work. i'll be sending whatever I can. I believe it's not an accident how the channel has been successful… You don't pretend it's about you, we know it's not about you, it's about all of us together, and you're in the sometimes uncomfortable seat of having to be a leader. But there's phalanx behind you Gary. sending love. Loraine in the United States Where there is no vision, the people perish!

  6178. This guy is so disingenuous

  6179. This channel is so important. I preordered the book as soon as it was available so missed out on the discount codes- but I don’t care! Congrats on all you’ve achieved Gary, I hope this eventually leads to the change we need. You’re a legend mate.

  6185. "We need an alternative to inequality." Well, duh. Thanks bruh. I'll join your cult and buy your book. Maybe I'm too salty here but seriously... If you're so experienced and well intentioned, where's the hub of resources and actionable alternatives to the systems of inequality? (Where's the naming and shaming of your crews you ran with when you were* betting against the rest of us?)

  6195. "Number one way to get rich... have a rich dad". Made me laugh but it's bloody true. I don't want to be a billionaire per say but I do think a have a few good ideas. I'm tired of raw dogging this entrepreneur thing and I do love this channel. Please,please, please consider making some videos about getting started as an entrepreneur(if you don't already). The scene is full of grifters. Cheers.

  6196. 9:53 Hi Garry , does this explain why assets like S&P 500 and gold have had their price skyrocketed during 2020 ?

  6201. Gary it sometimes seems like an impossible fight, like moving a mountain with a toothpick, but I guarantee you there's an exponential growth to awareness. The more people you reach, the more people there'll be to spread to others and the virtuous cycle will continue until it's politically impossible for statesmen to NOT redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. Keep up the fight and don't give up hope.

  6227. Phenomenal explanation ... if you keep pumping out content like this, I'm very confident your channel will reach massive numbers. Thank you for lending your insights and analysis to the world conversation. For a great many, economics as a field of knowledge seems a bit arcane, to have it explained plainly by a regular guy, very well versed, is enormously helpful. Thank you, Gary!

  6228. Great work Gary!

  6229. Alright, let's goo!

  6230. 🤣🤣🤣 I am interested to find out why you failed on Morgan show?
    1
  6231. Can't see ANY of this holding up the 30-40 years you predict. The IMF has a published article (5-20 years AGI), and the world's AI experts are pretty much ALL predicting AI followed by robotics to change our world completely in FAR LESS TIME than that. I see no possible way that MASSIVE numbers of jobs aren't disappearing within 10-15 years such that the writing is on the wall for all jobs in time. There are NO JOBS that AI/robotics can't/won't eventually overtake. If we are to have anything but anarchy, UBI will HAVE to kick in as soon as this all gets underway. And when UBI is in place, I have no idea what will happen to private home ownership: will you get UBI to match your mortgage, based upon where you live and your cost of living differential? I can't imagine that period being anything other than traumatic on an unimaginable level for society.

  6234. Welcome back Gary …keep doin it.
    1
  6235. Really appreciate your content Gary. You come from a humble background but understand the economic climate and share with others on a way that makes sense. Certainly agree that big corporate and the super rich are the ones who need to be taxed more and not us the working class. Let's hope for a reform of structure on how this system currently works.
    1
  6236. Glad you are back, Gary. Happy Christmas.

  6237. Welcome back, am interested to read your book, but more interested to see how your movement moves forward to get some solutions to the current situation
    1
  6238. Book's good folks!!
    1
  6239. You give me so much hope in these dark times Gary. Peter Turchin has written a lot about the wealth pump where the rich drain prosperity from the less well-off. He also talks about how this contributes to social instability. We're headed for some major unrest. The solution is greater economic equality and Communalist-style direct democracy in local communities. Best of luck to you!

  6251. Incredibly intelligent guy. And he's so correct in this analysis - you can witness it for yourself.
    1
  6252. Idk how it happened but last night on new year's eve around 1 or 2 in the morning YouTube for whatever reason recommended to me the interview you did with Insider. I watched the whole thing and I have watched a few more of your videos since 2025 started and subscribed to your channel. So much of what you say resonates deeply with me. I am the child of immigrants. I was born in the USA but my family comes from central America. My mom dropped out of high school as a teenager and my dad was actually a gang banger and was in prison all my childhood and then deported. I felt the unfairness growing up and the desire to prove myself. I was fairly competitive in class. I don't think my situation was quite as bad as yours growing up and maybe for that reason I was not as competitive as you. But I did work very hard and got myself into some really good schools. I was told one of the schools I got into was the perfect fit. I was told it would be full of kids just like me. I thought that meant it was gonna be full of kids who had struggled through adversity and beat the odds and were hungry to learn and grow. But it was just full of kids who were exactly like the kids in my high school that had fueled my desire to prove myself in the first place. Extremely privileged kids that had never experienced anything like what I grew up in even for a day, and all their lives they enjoyed the kind of wealth that I was always told only comes after all the hard work and going to school. But they already had it even before going to college. Like you I saw how rigged it all was for the very first time in my life and I became very depressed. I didn't even finish school. I was never so driven by money, I have always been somewhat averse to money and the material and I naturally lean more towards spirituality and philosophy. I was a philosophy major at school and in a class we read Camus' the Plague. I remember the quote you used in your speech in the last video. My professor remarked on how compassionate Camus was to all humanity. He believed in our innate goodness and he didn't blame us for evil but instead he blames the ideologies that lead our good will astray. I hope I can do something to help stop society from collapsing. I want to be human too, especially if it is all just gonna fall apart anyway. I know this comment is so long for YouTube but I have a feeling you will read it.

  6265. Gary, how can you be a succesful city trader and then still end up giving up to be a professional complainer. Try and consider that you might just be programmed into rejecting wealth and freedom. You may be conditioned to seek out poverty...

  6275. Watched some of your videos and found them very interesting. This video just seems a bit rambling and stating the obvious and you suggest absolutely no solutions.

  6280. Advert for another book about trading. What a surprise! Gary was and is a chancer. Yutube didn't generate cash quickly enough, so a book's in the offing. No solution focused offerings cause he's not looking for solutions, just an alternative income stream. The capitalist who decried capitalism. You literally couldn't make it up.

  6281. As a Brazilian, I can confirm how dangerous is this narrative that puts every problem on corruption. In Brazil, public service has a very low quality. Since we're born, we listen to the same story: how can we pay so much taxes and have so bad service? The automatic answer is "because of corruption". And then, after voting one and other, always with the same problems, the fascist far right could take advantage of the discontentment. People believe the narrative, because all the elements are true: high taxes on ordinary people, bad public service and corruption. But they never talk about the most important truth: pur taxation system is the most regressive in the world. You cannot have good public service by taking money only from the poor...

  6289. Gary I know you have good intentions however your solution is completely flawed and is a route to full-blown Socialism here's why: Taxing the rich more for having assets of 10m+ isn't going to solve the problem. It's going to likely p*ss them off and make them leave the UK because a) they're rich and have the privilege to do so and b) they can get much better tax breaks re-locating to countries that tax less. Also, you don't realise that these rich people have multiple streams of incomes and have businesses which employ people who aren't wealthy. By taxing the rich they will offset those taxes onto the consumers which are largely working class ordinary people. This means businesses suffer to sustain profits and operational costs to continue and will likely have to lay-off their staff and eventually close down or relocate. This in turn creates a huge deficit for the government's paycheck as these super rich businesses struggle to sustain the profits required to maintain growth and the government realising enough income. Therefore, the government has to increase taxes in order to compensate for the lack of income generated by the super rich. This tax-effect trickles down until you hit the poorest in society, meanwhile the poor are already drowning with goods & services inflation. Just know that your destructive policy is being practiced to a degree already and many millionaires are leaving this country in droves (Source: Business Standard - Millionaires on the move: Where are the world's rich migrating to in 2024?) as is which is contributing to the massive tax-burden we are facing today. The solution ISN'T TAXING THE RICH. It's CUTTING GOVERNMENT WASTEFUL SPENDING AND REDUCING TAXES. You fail to understand running a government is a form of business which takes taxes from the population. It's the government's responsibility to manage that money carefully. The issue we've been having for YEARS, is INCOMPETANT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS OVERSPENDING money on things that bring NO COST BENEFIT to the citizens of this country. By advocating for more taxes, you're advocating for more incompetance from the ruling class and you should understand by now that they've wasted so much money and brought no benefit for the masses. Reasonable taxes for everyone will incentivise wealth creation and bring in businesses to the UK and the government will be able to realise taxes at a lower level but generate more income. Meanwhile because there's more competition in the free market people will have opportunity to buy better goods/services at cheaper prices while they realise the benefit of low taxation. Your suggestion will only lead to the demise of free market capitalism where the ruling class provides to the poor and it's living proof right now that anything run by government is poor quality and there's no accountability when things go wrong because they don't have to worry about competition like private enterprises do and everyone lives off the welfare system. Please do yourself a favour and learn economics.

  6290. but if you tax the rich they will just move their money to a tax free country or the may just move out if the country.. this is happening in California.. Awesome video bro it explains alot

  6292. I just got to know this channel and I’m going through all videos. Gary, you’re truly amazing! The way in which you explain every concept is so simple to understand and detailed at the same time.

  6294. well made

  6295. I don’t think enough people realise that the reason all the racial hate erupted on our streets because there are many people who’s living standards are plumeting and they are being brain washed with lies and hate by people like Farage to hate people who look like me so we can’t work together to tax the rich. They don’t realise that poverty = profits for the super rich.

  6300. I ruffle a few feathers within the comments section of the Financial Times when flagging up the fallacy of economic growth and how debt-based economies is making everyone except those at the end of the service chain are reducing our spending power. Of course, those in finance, banking, trading and business only understand the current system and profiteered from it so they will never move against it, despite the prevalent damage it has caused to the majority of the UK and the world ...

  6311. I just finished your book, thanks to being off sick and having some time to read. What a captivating read, especially the part about 東京 at 4 am, which felt like a thriller. One thing that really struck me was when you mentioned that they don't teach about inequality in economics. It reminded me of my sociology professor who once said that in the very morning after the news of financial crash that economists should have compulsory subjects in sociology. Is inequality still absent from the teachings? Why some reformed rich can see that inequality is bad for everyone including the rich and the others don’t. Thanks for the knowledge and your story. It’s getting forwarded to my social network.
    1
  6312. "we have basically convinced young people, especially young men that the only way to be of value in society is to make a lot of money and we've created a situation where all of the legitimate paths are basically blocked; it’s almost impossible to become rich nowadays" … "If you're working, you've already lost basically" The despair cause by this, as a working person, aside, what effect will this have on society?

  6314. Great work Gary

  6315. I thought this might be insightful. Waffle. ‘Rich people’ is so broad of a term it’s meaningless. ‘Rich people giving money to their kids which is why house prices haven’t dropped’ is the stupidest opinion I’ve heard. There are hard facts that make good sense on why house prices haven’t yet fallen. Good look in continuing to make things up 👍🏻

  6326. Gary you’re voice is really needed in society today. Your economic analysis is spot on, 100%. The way you explain things is so clear and digestible. However, I don’t think your political forecasting will be accurate. Hopefully it won’t be. Yes Starmer will win (probably with a minority government/coalition with Lib Dem’s) and there will be no change or improvement under Labour. However, people, especially those under 45, won’t be distracted by the ‘boats’, as the older Tory generation are. They will want real change and won’t be fooled by ring wing parties. An all ‘white’ country won’t help Britons pay their bills and mortgages. But real housing policy will. My prediction is that in decades to come, as the old die off, we will become more socialist as a country. I as a life long Labour supporter, have stopped voting for them. I now vote for the Green Party. This is reflected in a YouGov poll. Our generation Gary, is bucking the trend and getting more left wing as we age. To me the Greens are the only party left that are truly left and would help tackle the wealth gap.

  6331. Merry Christmas Gary and good luck with the book. Totally agree with you that change is needed, but isn't that the hardest thing to achieve? The money and the criminality, and I mean serious criminal groups, is now so deep in the system that it is virtually impossible, without major undemocratic action, to overthrow.
    1
  6332. Great video, coming from a poorer background (parents) working myself to upper middle class. It's been fun and scary, bumping my head to the glass ceiling, peering into the world of the rich in their bubble. Eat the rich/tax the rich. Never going to put another poor person down or judge them, and in case I ever make it through that glass ceiling by any fluke, I hope I can expose as many rich people as I can and help unite the poor together the same way you intend to, especially the ones that look down upon the poor or are maliciously corrupt. I know the rich have good folk in them too, with many a hand tied behind their backs. Good luck to you, and thanks for being human to others instead of turning a blind eye.

  6335. Question for Gary, kinda wish you define rich, as you know example, a man on a park bench is not a rich as someone renting a home. You do sound like a champagne socialist, I take it your book will be non-profit.

  6343. Greetings Gary, Your channel is great! I am a social epidemiologist who has been engaged in research exploring relationships among economic distributions and the health and wellbeing of populations. I began my research in the 1990's when the impacts of neoliberal economic policies were just beginning to be apparent. At that time, little research related to wealth inequality was possible due to lack of data about personal wealth. I am glad to see that wealth inequality is now getting the attention it deserves thanks to you. I am here for you man. Just tell me how I can help.

  6346. thank you for what you're doing. i hope you gain a lot of influence but no matter what happens, keep fighting. detach from outcomes in this particular fight. the fact that you're fighting for us, is, by itself, enormously buoying. a lighthouse in the storm.

  6347. And the more playfull, silly cap, not serious looks way you do it, the more powerful you are

  6348. The irony is, because we refuse to tax the rich we continue to increase tax on the poor to make up the difference.

  6349. Taxing the rich is a distraction and socialism. You are a fool running fools errands.

  6350. Good on ya! I just checked to make sure I could get the book here in Canada and I can. Thank goodness. Thank you for doing this! Thank you for being you!! Looking forward to the momentum and most especially, actual change.

  6351. "It was a slum, but it was my slum...I loved it, I miss it." This really resonated with me. I am from a working class background, first living in a council house then a house in what was a dive of an area back then but has since become gentrified beyond recognition. I walk down memory lanes often, remembering the diversity, authenticity and openness of the communities when I was a kid. I miss it all. I struggle to identify with these same areas now. What is pervasive in your talk is the chasm between the rich and ordinary people. The millionaires didn't care to know about economics; they won't suffer any consequences and they'll and get a great job anyway. Consequences do happen for the rest of us and that's why we work harder.

  6352. Everybody we have to share this video to our friends, family and co-workers to address this faster, otherwise it will just be another youtube video🗣💥

  6353. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🥹 I thought I was going crazy. I don't know anything about economics, and when the "experts" claim everything is okay, the country is doing well (I grew up in the north West when Maggie was on her thrown 😐) nothing makes sense and you start to lose it a bit. I read a lot. I read all of them, Dickens, Hugo. I thought I was going mad. Thank you 💐

  6359. So many words spoken by you, such little said…. You haven’t a clue as to what you’re talking about. You traded on the market, you made money, you started a YT channel, but you failed to actually understand how the economy works. You don’t know shit about the “why” of it all.

  6367. Good point, redistribution. Feels very communistic but yes maybe it is necessary.
    1
  6368. Starting to doubt this guy's story now. Not much in this video is correct. You can just google the house price data yourself and see he is wrong. Gary do you have any payslips from Citibank proving you worked there? He also claims to be "an inequality economist" who worked at Citibank, but does not know the Cantillon Effect, and doesn't mention the infamous Citibank Plutonomy Report?
    1
  6369. Little boy Gary asks if we can tax the rich but fails to ask first if it's moral! Wake up little boy and learn ethics!

  6370. Hey,Gary.This speech is absolutely incredible thank you for trying to bring awareness to this issue that is plaguing the world, your powerful words are clarity in a world of manufactured confusion. Thank you for not giving up and continuing to inform us.
    1
  6371. Thank you, again, Gary. This is your best work, gently iconoclastic and all the more compelling for it. I'm forwarding it to everyone I can think of. Economics can transform from mathematical phantasmagoria into an empirically accessible window onto the human condition if we triangulate on it from the teachings of Buddha and Christ and their like, as you are here. The child's understanding is that economic activity is due to self-interest. The adult understanding is that it is about trust. To be able to do your work, you have to trust that most everyone else will do theirs. The child's understanding of economic virtue is that it is greed. The adult understanding is that virtuous economic activity is the assumption and shouldering of risk. You say that you will get something done that needs to be done and you do it. The child's understanding of economic rewards is bling. The adult understanding of economic rewards is trade, the transaction sustained. You don't transact to extract as much as you can, you transact to create the opportunity for more transactions. Thank you Gary, for being the most compelling exemplar for these ideas and so many more. We need to tax the hyperrich, you articulate this with a clarity that leaves me thunderstruck. It is not impossible, there precedent all throughout human history (the jubilee in the Old Testament, a forgiveness of debts every 50 years is one) To get there, we have to change people's minds. We can change minds, it happens all the time, like a sea change. The funny thing about humans is that as cultures we really only remember a lesson for 3 generations. That seems like our species limit, you see it in things like "super debt cycles." With your work Gary, I dare hope, and with my children at precisely the wrong age, it is my keenest hope, that we may achieve the transition to more Gaussian* wealth distributions without the cataclysmic violence of a total war. *Gaussian, not power law, because power law behaviors devolve to species like hymenoptera, of hives. They are nowhere near as powerful at surviving in nature as species that cross genetic material in non-clonal ways. Those species equilibrate towards Gaussian distributions of phenotype for complex traits. This creates vastly larger capacity to adapt per unit population. I hope your cycling in Japan is restorative, I'm not sure there are many people doing work more important than what you are doing. If enough hear you, understand closer to the depth you do, both sides of the trade of self/altruism, our species may yet find a better way forward from poverty without losing our humanity.

  6379.  @garyseconomics  Your book was the first thing I've sat down and read cover to cover in 15 years. Absolutely riveting and it felt so incredibly validating to hear so many of my own thoughts coming from someone who had dominated the system on "the other side".

  6388. This 75 year old has been following Gary for a few years, we met briefly at his book launch in Manchester. Good to hear that Gary's taking a well deserved break, walking and cycling both help with depression and for the evening a friendly/inexpensive hostel. Ask Gary to come and discover Traws Eryri the 225km Off Road cycle route between Conwy and Machynlleth that traverses Llanfairfechan, home to our future walkers/cyclists hostel/community hub; all we need are roofs, floors and funds.

  6406. mate i love your videos. but you are becoming a bit repetitive. It's all about your past, how you grew and now what you are doing to change. Can you offer more information on the last section please? I've already memorised you came from the slums, you worked with rich w@ankers, you lost money on interest rate cuts, you made £400k at 23, you took a hiatus in Japan, you were the most successful trader at citi.

  6409. Kwasi Kwartang (Chancellor) is an economist with a PhD in Economic history. Therefore he must be well aware of the impact. This is purely ideologically driven.

Once again Gary thanks for your clear and concise explanation of what is happening.

  6420. I love you bro, you remind me of me in so many ways. I’m 42 and from Midwest US. Grew up poor etc etc. Keep fighting your good fight and doing what you’re doing. Your struggle is real and hard and I see you. Others see you and appreciate what you’re doing. I hope we can meet one day. Blessings for you. Joshua

  6422. Gary, you are the only economist that I listen to and you are on point in your understanding of what is going on. I have learnt tons from you. I want to give you some constructive feedback regarding your videos. I would highly recommend reviewing your videos prior to filming and talking to see if you can shorten your message and make the key messages hit harder. At the moment, there is quite a bit of waffle in your videos and it takes too long and requires too much focus from the viewer to hear your message.

  6423. I've added this project to my Patroen. The support is important for Gary, but mainly for the message we understand here, and for the momentum it needs. I have been so despondent about the way we, and our kin in other countries are being dragged along to feed the billionaires more, and told it's our own fault, or the fault of poorer people/ foreign people, or simply being told to believe it'll get better, just keep working for another 5 years, or 10 years or 50 years... Meanwhile some of those billionaires are no longer content to pull strings of government in subtle ways but are paid up members of the unelected political movement that is trying to take over the US and quite possibly the UK. They must fail. Being part of a push against this is helping me too, I want to be involved with this project. More power to you Gary (and team).

  6428. Thank you Gary for all your dedication & working tirelessly to nurture & grow this movement. I will donate when I’m in a position to help but I have used every opportunity to spread your message. I hope the time you NEED is replenishing, I learnt that lesson after 58 years!! I look forward to helping you (in my small way) to grow what your doing with thank again 🙏😊from Worthing

  6433. Welcome back Gary, sorely missed. Book is pre-ordered, can't wait to dive in
    1
  6434. I’d like to see you actually interviewing people instead of just being interviewed. You know the questions to ask to expose what’s going on in the markets and how that affects politics. You could do discussion panels for economics like the four horsemen and others did for philosophy (for example). Bring in big and respectable world economists, mathematicians, and yes maybe even a philosopher or two, in addition to artists (Akala eg) etc. Establish a fact based, professional AND academic consensus that can’t sensibly be refuted. Draw in people of influence who, due to their lack of knowledge, are currently playing for or just beginning to question the other side (Rory Stewart might be an example) or ex politicians. Plus an ordinary Joe/Jane member of the public to join in and speak of how the ideas being discussed might have affected them. You could do so much! It’s important not to get tarred with the wrong brush from the outset.

  6435. Big up Gary!! Thank for all the work that you do, keep up the good fight!

  6443. Amazing video! You've explained all the symptoms I see in society and could never understand (and that were keeping me poor). I linked to this video from my most recent article 'How to buy a property with 100% cash - no mortgage'. We did this by removing paying rent from our lives and living extremely frugally.

  6449. I'm Polish, living in England and I'm sad when I see what's going on with this country. I'm even sadder when I realize that Poland is going in the same direction. Housing crisis makes it insanely hard for the middle class to own a house. The government keeps pumping the tax money to bankers and developers, but if you speak loudly about it, you are considered a far left radical, a communist or even a bolshevik.
    1
  6450. Haha, you're a young lad! Imagine how Kier Hardy / Bevan felt having to spend their entire life working to get what they wanted. I'll be tuned in to see how you go. The higher tax rate put forward by the Greens was actually (bar nationalising trains) the only policy I got excited by. Keep at it, don't let them grind you down! YNWA

  6451. Many of the Rich people bought Government subsidised heating systems for their businesses and country mansions, the scheme was called the Renewable Heat incentive which basically paid for their heating bills for 25 years, which was later reduced to 20 years, the heating system usually ran on wood pellets/wood logs or wood chip, some installations used electric via a ground source heat pump system and also a few included biogas systems. The non Domestic RHI scheme was opened in 2011 and closed 10 years later in 2021, the payments are budgeted until 2041, the RHI payments are also inflation adjusted. The scheme cost UK tax payers over so far since 2011 about £2.5 billion up until 2020 and covers 20,000 installations, with approx 17,000 of them being biomass boilers. Just another example of the Rich being bailed out of their heating costs by the Government on the back of 'green' energy incentives, the poor UK tax payers are paying to heat the Rich peoples homes and businesses essentially for free, as the RHI payments often exceeded the fuel costs. It is odd that the RHI scheme became a scandal in Northern Ireland, see below, but in the UK the same RHI scheme and similar fraudulent activities and abuses were going on in the UK, but it was hushed up and swept under the carpet here and never became a scandal here in the UK. It has quietly been forgotten about, but the RHI payments will continue to be paid by the UK tax payers to the Rich until 2041. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_Heat_Incentive_scandal#:~:text=The%20Renewable%20Heat%20Incentive%20scandal,purse%20almost%20%C2%A3500%20million.

  6460. I'd never heard of you until I saw you on the Insider on trading, Im now subscribed, I like what you say, I dont have an economics degree but what you are saying sounds right to this 70 yo New Zealander. I'll have to go through your videos before I can make any suggestions on what I think needs to be clarified.

  6473. The fact that it's so clear that you don't want and don't really like the fame that comes from your channel's success is exactly why I think people trust your good faith intentions.
    1
  6474. Really appreciate the video, but you have to get your story together before hitting the record button. you're saying the same thing like ten times in a row with random pauses in between and random new spins on the same thing. how about using charts? how about a hypothetical case from the perspective of someone rich vs someone poor over the next 20-50 years?

  6476. I just bought the book. Looking forward to reading it. I found Gary through his Insiders interview posted Aug 14. Gary is unique in giving an honest and insightful opinion.
    1
  6477. Just read your book over 4 days. It was hilarious and pretty depressing. What we need to work out is what we are aiming at - we can't just buy Green Eurodollar, but we can't fight Citibank et al. and win. We need to define what success looks like. Is it just a bit more redistribution? Is it more tax on rentier income? From my perspective it's always been that we need to explain to people what private sector investment is, where it comes from and where it goes. What "private sector efficiency" really looks like up close, how small businesses that pay local taxes differ from any business that uses IP charging to offshore incomes. And of course who owns what - most notably that a huge amount of global private investment is either a few wealthy individuals, other countries' governments or BlackRock and of course what responsible pension fund investment could look like. Good luck, dude, I'm here for this.

  6488. he’s not really clued up on this. PR is not more democratic. The arguments and deals are hidden snd after the election . In a Two party system the deals are sorted about before the election and presented to the people. He should read a bit more. He doesnt understand the real economy. He really doesn't. Its sad given the privaledged life he obtained.
    1
  6489. "Tax the rich and we can make the economy better" He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He explains nothing. He simply appeals to emotion based on whimsical appeals to emotion. The very REASON the economy is falling apart is BECAUSE of leftist insanity.

  6532. This is your best video so far - poor people need to know what they're dealing with sooner so they at least have a heads up to plan, no matter how tough the subject. Yes, it's bad news. But, people who struggle the most are already resilient enough appreciated the bad news. (Life made them resilient, which is also why they allowed themselves to endure the situation so long without resisting). What poor people need now is action steps that make sense to them. The only hope I see is in causing a massive housing crash, without the government stepping in to bail out the rich again. This would help even those with mortgages for homes they want to live in. Other markets would have to crash too, ideally, but real estate is a good start. If government can't ease, that's a good thing during a housing crash.

  6533. Hmm, what to do with my book voucher.

  6534. What you said and how you presented it makes it plain and clear that your motives and heart are in a wonderful place, the right place. Anyone who can't see that *doesn't want to see it*. And good for you for putting your own oxygen mask on first. No one has any duty to sacrifice themselves for anything. Help others who are suffering? Yes. Use what knowledge and tools they possess to do it? Absolutely. You're doing that. That's enough. In short ~ kudos to you, immense thanks to you, and eff the haters.❤

  6539. I do not believe his story, for some reason. It feels so clinical and scripted. Also the messages are too negative for me.

  6540. Definitely open up for donations

  6541. God damn Gary! Incredibly powerful speech. People are guilty of living their lives with the blinkers on. The obsession with growing ones wealth only to ultimately then pass that on to family really can be dehumanising when tunnel vision sets in. Not everyone will be as fortunate or have that luxury when they have worked hard in their chosen professions. Do we consciously choose to ignore those who have very little and in turn nothing to pass on, as that only serves to distract us from our own cause? When the middle class have lost sight of the working class and the ultra rich have lost sight of everyone but themselves what is left? Its a scary thought
    1
  6542. I’ll donate!

  6547. Good luck Gary, you getting the message out is appreciated 👍 As someone else posted, if they're trying to get dirt on you your message is cutting through. Perhaps look to reach out to other youtubers with large subscriber numbers where they can amplify the channel. Phil at 'a different view' might be one of them. Enjoy your break in Japan 👍

  6548. So the rich start to buy the houses owned by the middle class because some rich have invested in the care home industry. Their kids are working to put food in their families table; Ma and Pa are encouraged to sell their home they bought for $20,0000. 50 years ago and real estate agents are suggesting they can get half a million for the family home. They buy a retirement unit for $300k and the fees use the rest over the next few years. Their kids continue to rent and visit when they can afford to. The rich take their jet to their holiday home in the Cayman Islands

  6559. I have have a message for you, Garry: They will try to hijack your message; that being that wealth needs to be more evenly distributed. Yes that message. But they’ll keep the wealth they have while making all of us do with less, and the WEF will be very happy. Happy Yule & New Year. Congrats on the book. I look forward to reading it.

  6567. I hope the book goes down a storm, Gary! Yours is an important voice in this dreadful dreadful time!
    1
  6568. another absolutely vapid take. your complaining about growth being used as a catch all solution that comes with no plan on how, this is valid. But then offer no actual solution yourself. "fix inequality" its just a hollow platitude. at worst inequality is a symptom of a problem not a problem in and of itself.

  6581. At 8:40 with "you're trading against me" as a warning is so correct. Same with investing- myself and a few others will have bought into a company when most were too scared, and we're out and have sold to you when it has risen and is fully priced. It's like taking sweets off a child. Don't spend 20yrs trying to stock pick; crack on with the day job and index invest instead.

  6582. we're just going back to how things were and business as usual. for those of you in england/london.. just look at victorian era london and you'll go back to that eventually

  6599. Ok... Welcome back to Gary's far left idiotic socialist economics! I am by no means a great student in fact quite the opposite but here in the US we reward hard work, devotion, and entrepreneurship. But, if you get jaded and fall into socialist, anti-capitalist ideology of course you won't be successful. It's a while loop always true.

  6600. Metaphorically rich people had all these bags of money and were trying to put it somewhere, anywhere. In order to do that they bought assets, anything and everything everywhere. Driving up the asset prices.

  6602. Welcome back Gary... Was good to see you on Stay Free with Russell.... Keep up the good work mate.

  6603. You sir are a steely-eyed missile man! My hat is off to you. I hope you sleep well at night and live a good life surrounded by people who understand and honor you. I think everyone that's looking with clear eyes can see your heart is in the right place and you're making a big difference to real people.

  6604. social contract broken, endless money printing where the rich get richer and the poor poorer and you shit on the one thing giving people hope that they can store their wealth in a way the government can't fuck with it.. good one

  6621. Thank you - one of your best videos - a very clear look at how the economic sausage is made.

  6622. Canadian viewer - so glad you’re back. We have an election coming up in our country where the cartoon villain will likely get in. A UK-based mom successfully lobbied the government on several issues. Her non-profit is called Pregnant Then Screwed, which is about the multitude of discrimination working moms face. My advice would be to grow your network of grassroots folks who have changed public opinion to influence change with the government. Being an agent of change can be incredibly lonely and constant recognition can be isolating. Others who have gone before you can offer some camaraderie as you move forward.

  6624. Full disclosure, I’ve never got rich, although I haven’t given up. Want to get rich without being extraordinary. 1. Start with your 1st ever job. 2. Invest 10% of everything to a pension plan, do this in addition to the auto enrolment in your job. just a simple index fund will do. (Please do your own research and don’t take this as advice). 3. Don’t have kids as you’ll end up spending 120% of your income so you won’t be able to do number 2. 4. Don’t live in London it’s way too expensive unless you have a mega job, or live with your parents, so you’ll fail to stick to number 2. 4. Wait patiently, retire rich.

  6629. I've said it before and I'll say it again: huge thanks for everything you've done and are doing, Gary! As one wise grandad in my family used to say 'don't let the b@stards grind you down'. Thank you for your honestly and spreading the word so tirelessly! My friends and I will try to do same our end as well.

  6633. Thank you for doing what you do Gary. For providing this level of education by way of open and honest reflection. You're a vital voice. Happily just preordered, can't wait to read it and to see where the movement shifts.

  6640. I’ve not watched the video yet but I’m praying it’s not going to be more negative drivel. Please prove me wrong today 🙏🏽

  6641. Wow, so well spoken. I would love to know Gary's thoughts on how AI will shift the dynamics of our economy & if he believes this will delete the lower middle class
    1
  6642. Glad you’re back Gary. I have been spreading your message on a regular basis, Lbc and talk TV. I’m still nervous but less so as I phoned in every day.
    1
  6643. I like the way you say something didn't work after ... no time or measuring if it did. You make points that don't follow from what limited cherry picked facts you offer as evidence. Of course you aren't totally wrong either ... just sometimes it's swift and unconvincing

  6651. Have you read Peter Turchin's book "End Times" btw? I wonder how much overlap there is between it and yours.

  6652. Thank you for these! I run a charity school in the US and am about to teach the kids about wealth and how money works. Even their parents don't know the basics of money. I will be showing them some of your videos!
    1
  6653. you are unbelievably qualified to solve these problems, I think the problem is that you are a democrat, you need a wholistic creative republican view of the problem. Nobody aint telling you that you cant do something you just believe it so its true. omg im drunk.

  6663. These videos are absokutely insanely valuable!! I need more, you have to keep this series going please. I really want more people to see this work youre doing. We need to step up and do something. Most of the time, i have no clue what i can do to help.

  6667. Simply powerful...

  6668. This 'economist' bloke hops around any channel that'll have him with; "Poor me, look how well I've done", and "there's rampant wealth inequality in this country"..... Ya think, Gary?? 🤦‍♂️ I can't believe O'brien bought into this guff.

  6669. Big Gary 🌌🫡🤝🏼🙏🧩

  6675. Get your money back from Oxford. I listened to the first 2 minutes and heard you make massive mistakes..Sorry, you should know better than this.

  6676. Love this, have pre-ordered 📖

  6677. Gary, do not underestimate educating us one by one. Many seemingly unrelated problems are 'adressed' by those in power with unconnected policies, but they fool me no longer. There is but one issue: unequality. I live on the continent and understand much better what the governments and the EU are doing. Also the laws they make/made. You create ripples in a pond. I inform others and take measures for my family. So thank you. Maybe you have no direct political influence yet, but we are the ones who still get to vote. Btw where I live I am already confronted with the reality of being separated from parts of our assets.

  6678. Hope you're having a good break Gary. Thank you for all you've done so far, and good luck with all to come ✊

  6682. Gary, I'll try to be as civil as possible💜 You are flaunting Puma. You are flaunting "System" supporters, supporters of the Israeli government, supporters of oppression, supporters of fascism, supporters of death. Please do your research (it won't take much!), remove Puma from your life and publically apologise. God will thank you for it! May you be blessed in all your endeavours💜💚

  6683. Good to see you back. I look forward to your book and I hope you will go on kicking the doors down. Happy Christmas to you.

  6685. Spot on, shows we can not trust them on any level !
    1
  6686. I knew it, it's all the fault of the rich!!!!! Gary you are so flippin predictable. Why are the rich getting richer?? Because everyone wants to live beyond their means, to borrow up to their eyeballs, and expect the govts of the day to print shedloads of money to pay for everything they want/need!!! More money printing = falling Purchasing power of money. US$$, Sterling, Euro..What world currencies can buy is deteriorating fast because too much money is being printed
    1
  6687. Thanks, Gary, take care of yourself.

  6688. Just found your channel. As a full time working (struggling) single parent. I am finding this useful and very interesting.
    1
  6689. Thank f**k you’re back man! We need you! 😂
    1
  6690. Please wear a helmet. We must protect Gary's brain. ⛑️ 🧠 One thing I'd like to see is some information about how flat taxes work (or don't). People around me have convinced themselves that a 'fair tax' is the only answer.
    1
  6691. Welcome back. Congrats on your book. Wishing you a good Xmas and an even better New Year.

  6692. This is good.

  6695. Man this is a hard video to watch - you might have a point and it’s probably great material for a future video saying how you got it right - but I’m 15 minutes in and you have said the same one breath sentence over and over again. I’m out. Good luck god bless
    1
  6696. Speaking as a German, I'd lie if I said I wasn't envying the Brits a bit for having a voice like yours on the comeup nationally, but much more than that I am incrediby grateful for what you do for the public discourse and happy to see you grow. I am convinced your voice will eventually be heard all over the world. Thank you and stay strong! It's people like you and your followers that make me hope we can avoid this quasi-aristocracy we seem to be moving towards. Much love man.

  6701. Thanks Gary, when I left secondary school in 99, I remember my broad look of the world was "greed", it's been a reoccouring theme ever since.

  6705. Welcome back bro, looking forward to reading your Book :)
    1
  6706. Great stuff will be pre ordering. Hope the exposure helps this channel grow. One thing to factor in tho is, if this does start to grow, you'll end up on the radar of the worst people in the world and then how to handle the inevitable character assassination that will come from the right wing media. Be prepared!
    1
  6707. Welcome back. Book pre-ordered. Can't wait to read it. Merry Christmas.
    1
  6708. Fantastic video, totally agree with you.. Would you consider doing a video on 5 practical steps supporters can take to help you?
    1
  6709. IMO, Gary you need to tighten up your presentations. You repeat yourself a lot, and while you have much to offer, you lose viewers by your lack of sensitivity to their time constraints. Prepare yourself by constraining yourself to the essential points and sequence them. Discipline and rigor as well as wisdom!
    1
  6710. Look forward to the book.

  6715. I would actually be worried if they weren’t trying to get dirt on you! That would mean you weren’t a threat. The bastards are worried 😂 keep doing what you’re doing Gary and have a great break! Excited to see what’s next for the channel and campaign.

  6716. It takes common people to talk common sense. Gary, you one of the common people keep up your good work.

  6717. Your time* is now....

  6718. Just ordered a copy of your book. This year has been a journey of learning about economics and I've found it fascinating. I'm just about to finish Engles "conditions of the working class in England" and was wondering Which book to get next. I'm really looking forward to reading your book, Gary.

  6732. Edit: Second fastest prepurchase I've bought all year! (only second 'cause Ren just happened to drop SICK BOI, lol) Merry Christmas! That's amazing Gary, congratulations! Proud of you and just glad to have seen this channel grow from inception until now. well done, mate. Now let's get you to 100k subscribers! 😊

  6733. Watching from Australia love your work! Have you thought of teaming up with Russell Brand for an interview or two? His channel is bigger and many of his topics are aligned with your own.
    1
  6734. Thank you Gary.
    1
  6735. Juvenile fantasising. The rich will only pay the taxes they agree to. Paying taxes is voluntary. The super rich just move their vast wealth to another jurisdiction. You can't stop them. There is no world government. There is no international agreement on tax and there never will be. They think a little British youngster wanting their money is just funny. The other way to avoid tax on wealth is not to bother creating wealth in the first place. That already is our problem. Over mature Western nations like the UK have long surrendered the leadership in enterprise, economic energy and ambition to Asia. Increase UK taxes and extinguish the frail sparks altogether. Childish pseudo economics like this overlook one massive problem to wealth redistribution. You can not force people to make themselves rich so you can take their achievements away from them. You can not nationalise brains, ideas, energy, ambition, enterprise and success. Left to itself the State can only come up with the Red October Plastic Sandal Factory and a ten year waiting list for a Trabant car. Best get real Gary.

  6736. Makes me wish I had been good at maths in school haha. As a working class adult, I had to quit my not very much above minimum wage job last year due to ill health. Being on so-called benefits is a mental health stress in itself. Doesn't cover nearly enough. And I'm honestly one of the lucky ones not living in a tent in the park right now because I have family to support me. I'm beyond angry that our system is so rort all over the world (I live in Australia but grew up in England). I wish I'd been economically savvy when I was younger because I'm in my 40s now with no more savings, and a life of working shit jobs. Thanks for the videos and interviews, Gary!
    1
  6737. Thank you Have a greet holiday PS just bought your book! Go well
    1
  6738. I can't thank you enough for the work you are doing, Gary. Working class people know only too well that the game is rigged, we might not understand the exact minutia, the architecture and mechanisms of how it is... but people know it in their guts and see it around them day in day out. I was prompted by this talk to remember an article in The Guardian newspaper a few months ago, in which Will Hutton wrote a diatribe about the state of the UK and described the Working Class as Feckless... The disdain, the lack of any empathy or compassion he showed was enraging. Working class people, that have disengage and are described as 'Economically Inactive', are simply making the only rational choice anyone can make when faced with a game you know is rigged and cannot win, the only rational choice... is to not play the game. But that is not a viable solution. We need people like yourself raising awareness and understanding. Keep up the great work you are doing!
    1
  6739. Nothing useful to say but thank you. Rather be informed of a depressing truth than unaware of it. As we are living through this process anyway, I think we already feel its negative effects. Hearing this articulated simply is somewhat relieving. It matches the reality I experience better than anything the papers are saying.
    1
  6740. Gary, thank you for the work you do. And I think the media thing is important. But the only thing that can remedy our dire economic situation, is collectivisation. Collectivisation of effort, community, politics etc.
    1
  6741. This analysis just proves that increasing taxes substantially on the rich is a great idea…
    1
  6742. bro! I've missed your important voice in this space.
    1
  6743. "The power I have around this voice is that it's correct" - what an unusual thing to say. Predicting doom and gloom over isn't impressive and doesn't validate any specific explanation about why it is happening. Spend more time explaining why your solution is right. You barely explain why your solution makes sense.
    1
  6744. This guy is a top person from his own experiences. Any words from this guy are worth listening to.... Roll on March, gimme the book. 👍

  6750. Welcome back. We've missed you. Take care to not destroy yourself. We all have our limits.

  6751. As always beautifully explained.Just need the country and the world to wake up to what is happening
    1
  6752. Utterly disingenuous. Takes 7 and a half minutes of waffle to get to the fucking point instead of outlining from the beginning that he thinks it's because the government has just sold off everything to the private sector and now needs to pay them rent to operate out of public buildings. The real reason why taxes are getting so high is because we have a rising dependency ratio, because we're getting older as a country on average due to people not having enough children (there are now more old people in this country than young people).
    1
  6753. I love the open way you deal with this situation that you got into. I think the strength of your channel that attracts so many people is that you are clearly a regular no bs guy that people can relate to, and you speak in an honest and understandable way. I hope your channel continues to grow and push the word forward, it is so important for us to unite against inequality. But dont forget about the down to earthness that got you to this point in the first place
    1
  6754. Loving your vibe n story bro, thanks for being real. Big things coming for souls like ours.
    1
  6755. What you’re describing is exactly happening in Germany. Over the last decades they sold all their housing for the poorer in the society. Now they have to rent the exact houses from big corporations and have to pay way more in rent than if they owned that house. I can’t wrap my head around.. its sooo stupid and sad.

  6756. Wow! You go Gary, would love to see you in politics. Fight for the vulnerable. 😊

  6757. Wow Gary. So much insight. Thank you.

  6759. Excellently explained, and I’m personally very grateful as I struggle to convey this to my nearest and dearest in such a clear and concise manner. Unfortunately I do not hold any optimism on the transfer of wealth policy adopted by the developed economies, which has accelerated during and post covid being reversed. The fact[s] that no one person who played their part in actively stealing billions of tax payers money in 2008 was even arrested, and the blatant fraudulent ongoing behaviour of government officials hasn’t caused civil unrest tells me that we have now gone passed the tipping point and I predict we will see large numbers of British citizens seeking new horizons in order to achieve a better standard of living. Naturally this will be a standard ‘brain drain’ and make matters far worse for those left behind. So sadly most conversations with family members over the holiday season was about which country to go to. My nephew and his new wife are first out of the blocks and off to Frankfurt…

  6760. Just finished a book about opium eater Coleridge — When is your book in a managed decline Manchester library? My young cousin's book wasn't in there in 2022 when she was an ex-author in the Chinese year of the rope

  6762. can't listen to this guy anymore. It's all about how good he thinks he is, how talented he claims to be as a mathematician, and that's supposedly why he was a good trader. Honestly, there are probably thousands of more talented mathematicians out there. His success seems more like luck than talent, and now he's just trying to sell this idea that only he is intelligent and knowledgeable enough to do this job properly. I'm out. He isn't here to help people understand how money works—he's here to boast about his achievements. To be honest, I sense a lot of insecurities in him, even in the way he speaks. It just doesn't sit right with me."

  6764. Gary, you absolutely should ask for donations. I would happily chuck you a one off of a fiver out of my benefits 😂 The thing about you being a millionair. Its a common discussion amongst some of my friends that goes along the lines of "if I won a million on the lottery I'd give some to my friends and never work again'. After a time I decided to actually do some basic maths and see how much a million would be devided by the years I, at most likley best, will live. I'm 35, so another 55 years would bring me to 90. Thats good innings. Let me get my calculator cause I'm rubbish at mental arythmatic. One million devided by 55 leaves... A little under 18200 a year. Thats not much. And it will go less and less far each year. Even if you, as seems likely to me, have multiple millions, I think people over estimate the spending power of large sums and how quickly it can disapear if you're not (arguably very) savvy. Hence, despite your probably multiple millions, I, a man struggling to get by on benefits, will happily chuck you that fiver. Asides from the fact I think this is one of the most important political discussions of our time. Enjoy your holiday mate and look after your own mental health. Even if that means abandoning the channel. You've done some great work. If what have done so far is all you manage to do, I'm still very grateful for that. Ideally though, I'd love to see more of you going forward!
