  5. 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.

  6. "most of these discussions are just ten people with elite degrees talking to each other" Nice summary of contemporary academia 👍
    333
  7. As we move further into techofeudalism, the gap will grow further and economists will fall deeper into ignoring this continued problem of inequality.
    331
  8. Economics is the care of money, not people.

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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 🙏

  12. 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

  13. Austerity never ended. It continues to kill.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Excellent performance on the BBC. Great to see a debrief like this

  17. 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 !

  18. 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 😁

  19. And the rich will get richer and the poor poorer either way. The sooner people realise wealth hoarders are the enemy the better.
    307
  20. "What am I doing wrong?" "You had the wrong parents. You shouldnt have done that" Gary you have a way with words
    307
  21. Fair dues to James O’Brien for having you on. Deserve to be heard

  22. I suffered from election blues too. It was clear that the country was running away from something bad, not towards something good.

  23. 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.

  24. Divide and conquer. Oldest trick in the book. Keep up the great work 🙏👍

  25. 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.

  26. Someone who ACTUALLY holds the Govt to account! Let's go Gary!
    294
  27. I earn a passive income in that I show up at the office but just watch Garys Economics all day. 😂

  28. 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
  29. 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
  30. Garys Revolution is what we want!
    288
  31. 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

  32. 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.

  33. 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
  34. 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
  35. 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
  36. 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 😂!!!

  37. 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
  38. money talks but wealth whispers…you never hear or see from the super rich..keep going Gary super work 👍
    269
  39. Gary, you are an exceptional teacher. Thank you for your service.
    266
  40. Thanks Gary! There is a bunch of people arround the world who loves your content!
    266
  41. 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
  42. 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
  43. Imagine how much better things would be if we had people like Gary in our politics
    258
  44. Lets do this brother 💪
    257
  45. Thank you Gary, please get a well earned rest. But please come back we need your voice!
    256
  46. 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
  47. 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
  48. 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
  49. 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!

  50. 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
