  1. I agree. The problem as I see it is that we recognise that there is a growing wealth inequality in the UK and the wealthy have political influence. I think that the problem is political rather than economic. The wealthy will clamour for a low tax, small state with false economics and if they succeed then the UK economy may grow but the amount available to the public at large may shrink. I think we have seen this in action over the past decade or so.

  3.  @adenwellsmith6908  I think you have the wrong idea. That isn't what has happened. Have a look at what happened with QE for example. Gary Stevenson has done some good coverage on this and it is available on YouTube.
