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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. I hope you become just as well known as Martin Lewis.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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...

  12. 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.

  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Recently having had my first child really made "Tax the rich or your kid will be poor" hit hard.
    186
  17. You know Gary’s channel is working when you read through the large number of trolling comments. Keep tugging that forelock guys
    186
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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.

  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. I just finished Gary’s book. Keep spreading the message, it might change the world.
    178
  26. “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
  27. Well done to Helen for spreading the message! That's one way we can all help. Keep up the great work, Gary!
    178
  28. Compound interest conflicts with the consumer capitalist and rentier capitalist system that we are trapped in. Got it.
    178
  29. Best economic explanation I've heard in decades. Thank you.
    177
  30. 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
  31. "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
  32. 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
  33. 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
  34. Mahatma Gandhi famously included "wealth without work" as one of the "seven social sins" that he believed would destroy society.
    176
  35. Government is a skint renter who could rewrite the rental contract to say that they own the house if they wanted to. Imagine.
    176
  36. What have we learnt about Game Theory? Economists and rich people are selfish.
    175
  37. 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’
    175
  38. Always nice to hear a voice of sanity when there is so much garbage being spouted right now in the media.
    174
  39. 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
  40. You foresaw these bloody riots mate😮 You’re bang on! Enjoy your well-earned holiday.
    173
  41. 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
  42. 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
  43. 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
  44. 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.

  45. I'm a female watcher of Gary's economics

  46. 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
  47. 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
  48. You know heating bills are extortionate when even a millionaire has to wear gloves in their home.
    168
  49. 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

  50. Mornin' Gary, you forgot to predict the snow today ..... :)
