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

It's a case of the media as usual propping up the govt's message: that as far as the economy is concerned "we've just missed a recession". Even though the people of the UK have been in a recession since 2008.

I've been trying to talk about this broken system for atleast a decade. No one wants to hear it. Especially those that are making ends meet even if it is just scraping by, they think they are winning. All while most of their pay goes to the banks and their investors capitalise on them. Noone can survive on a single income for a family and everyone has to work overtime to have a little bit of spending money. We're giving up entire lives missing out on experiencing life with our loved ones to keep the ponzie scheme going. It's heart breaking

Gary truly is the people's economist!

Gary love your talks and as a 50 years plus guy its refreshing to hear a younger person speaking such knowledge. I only would say that the time for talking to politicians is over. No more asking. We know them by their deeds and alliances, they will face some painful justice I can only hope

We are in a depression

Gary thanks for explaining in an easy-to-understand way the UK's economic position.

For anyone not in the ruts of disaster capitalism that have been ploughed since Thatcher we've been in recession for the last 40 years and a Depression since 2008

Keep spreading the word gary about wealth inequality Great video as usual

Right as usual - A simple massive transfer of wealth from all of us, to the top one percent of the wealthy

Excellent video. I’m so grateful for your channel. It enables me to understand the rubbish that is churned out on the news.

Real Recession - no wage rises for over 10 years while all your costs have risen by 70%. Who is voting Tory, please explain why you choose to ruin living standards?

How can those outside of politics stop greedflation and profiteering. Doesn't the current system both reward and encourage such behaviour? Thanks for the work you are doing Gary.

Strong message; Gary should stand as an MP And like the hood!! All true.

It's good to hear a plain, easy to understand explanation of how "recession" impacts our lives and that it's not what we should be worrying about

Where is the political party that bangs on about wealth inequality? That is the question we need to ask. If there ISN'T one, we have to ask why! What happened to the political oarty that used to carry that message? Was it infilitrated by people with different aims?

It is inevitable. The BoE will have caused it by raising interest rates too much. Post pandemic was always going to see inflation. The inflation is not coming from high wage increases, it has been created by the BoE and the high interest rates are propping up government bonds / guilts. The government is relentlessly borrowing and the rest of us are paying for their bad governance.

Thanks, you guys are great! This is a unique and important channel. We really appreciate you🙌

I love how every video comes back to exactly the same core set of principles 😅 Just goes to show EXACTLY what changes are needed!

Tax The Rich (evergreen message).

Right on man - fight big finance and free your country

Excellent video as usual Gary. Informative & to the point. Shared 😎👍🏻

Thanks Gary, that's cleared the bullshit out of the way. Tax wealth not work. Always come back to that in the end.

Concise and informative, brilliant stuff Gary. Keep up the good work, love your videos 😊

So glad someone is telling it how it is. Well done Gary!

Imagine if they focussed on increases to wealth inequality as much as they focus on recessions.

I'm just going to focus on Philip Schofield 😐😐. Adam Smiths, wealth of Nations 1750 ish states do not allow individuals or mills at the time to wield more power than the government ....it may be too late

You called it. We are officially in a recession.

By being frugal minimal not consuming buying in bulk when cheap and using frugality as tool managed to cut down work hrs by 24hrs a week and also save last couple of years

Brilliant well explained I am 62 and just now know what a bloody recession is

Another great explanation. Thanks Gary.

Thanks for the very informative video . As you mentioned I have same thoughts when media outlets bombarded us by news about recession that it’s temporary. I feel the use of “ economic language” as a method to deviate from the real issue of a broken economic system and wealth inequality has been very effective.

Great video. I'm learning so much.

Very insightful thanks for the work

An "eye opener" 👀. Thank you 👍

Camera /lighting looking good. Great message about GDP.

Anyone who doesn't have assets has been living with 'negative growth' since 2008, fifteen years of getting poorer.

Agree! We all need to understand it's going to get worse for working and middle classes, even upper middle class, plan accordingly and vote accordingly. What is the answer though? Voting, speaking out, understanding so much of media is pitting us against each other and occupying our minds with trivialites, and what else? If consumers reject conspicuous consumption would that help? Getting wise to the game of distraction and realizing the vast majority of us are in the same boat regardless of ethnicity, political beliefs, gender, even nationality? I value videos like these that help us all wake up. Thank you!

Spot on as per , big love from Glasgow .

It’s scary how this all makes so much sense but no one is talking about it 😢

Yes, this is the opposite of the wealth distribution created during and after the Second World War. As you clearly state, the standard of living is declining and will continue to decline for the majority. Which is the opposite of what happens when wealth is allowed to distribute amongst the majority.

I've been saying this for a while... Instead of GDP, FTSE 100, Nasdaq, Dow Jones etc, why can't we have an index that measures well being; disposable income, leisure time, healthcare (physical & mental), homelessness (fewer the better), educational attainment, pollution etc ? Or does that not fit with the 1%?

Thank you for excellent information.

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.

On point, as usual . Shame we don't have a more balanced media, more people need to hear this.

Excellent as usual keep it up Can you talk about why eat out to help out was a transfer of money to the wealthy? (That’s my view anyway ) It’s a focus of the COVID enquiry

I’ll be the first to admit that I have very little understanding of economics. But we only seem to measure the aspects that are good for the wealthy not how well the poorest are doing. Surely a strong economy would benefit every aspect of society not just the very top?

Agreed. The obsession with reporting "recessions" is weird. Most of everyone's lives carry on just like normal in a recession - the impact of 1% growth or 1% decline is VERY marginal. It's allowed it to creep into people's psyche's that we are "having it so bad", when most of us are fine - but now we all walk around with glass half full mindsets.

Hot news of the moment soon - a water drought in UK. You watch. Can you trust the water companies to keep you hydrated? Discuss!

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

UK NEED GOOD SINCERE INTELLIGENT POLITICIANS THAT CARE ABOUT EVRRYONE - YOU! GREAT CHANNEL THANKYOU. 👍👏👏👏

Awesome content Gary ♥️♥️♥️

Hi Gary, I love your channel and the work you're doing, I'm a new convert after my husband has been trying to get me to watch for months now!! I work in the NHS and I'd be really interested if you could explain how this inequality affects our healthcare system, and also the descent into privatisation which seems to be happening. And also the way the NHS is having to pick up from government failings - eg the proposal for GPs to write prescriptions for cheaper energy bills for vulnerable patients. Keep up the good work spreading the word and your knowledge #InGaryWeTrust 😁

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.

Completely agree, a great message.

Thanks Gary another brilliant explanation 👏 we do need to start making some noise now.

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 😊

So refreshing to hear Garys take on this stuff!

Excellent Gary

Thank you Gary 😊

Great educational content

Thank you Gary.

Thanks, Gary xx - another educational economics session. Informative and logical. ! PS - Loving the loyal red polka dot mug!

Well thought out video. It goes to show that economics is not a science, but a subject based on opinions.

Gary, love the content. You’re on the side of the people, the majority. Those who are being taxed to the hilt. At some point I’ve realised it’s not fair, the wealthy get the better deals, the upfront information. The handouts, the advantages. It’s the way it’s always been, it can’t be fixed when you have people in those very circles controlling the country and it’s finances . There are always those that get items/loans etc for a fraction of what the general public get access to, friends in high tech places that can offer these things. This is the nature of the world, and to try and fight it, well wasted breath i fear. To think the system will ever be fair is the first mistake. This isn’t a depressive view, this is a truely realistic view of human nature and the “game”.

The last of the great Gary’s ❤👍

OMG thank you for talking about the goal posts defining a recession. I have been trying to explain this to the ppl in my life & they think I'm mad. GDP too. It's a terrible metric for public health

Bless you!!

Spot on real talk

Excellent

A very timely video. Its made me think about other orthodox economic paradigms like GDP. We rarely hear these orthodoxies challenged. They are just accepted as fundamental truths. Why should a working person care whether GDP increases or not? Does GDP materially effect standard of living, access to housing, education, or healthcare? We’re told time and again that “the people” want economic growth but that’s only really because people have been conditioned to believe recession is “very bad” so it follows they broadly favour growth even if all it represents to them is avoiding the pain of recession.

You are the first true the peoples economist ever! Explaining the TRUTH in the words that they use to keep us in fear is so important! It’s about individual sovereignty and integrity! Which I feel you have loads of Gaz! Nice one 🙏🏼

Another great video

Thanks ❤

An excellent analogy, this is cancer not a cold, there will be no recovery give me relief from pain now.Thank you Gary.

Excellent (again)

Thanks Gary

It’s about directing, limiting and containing arguments in all aspects of political and economic discussion. Misdirection to allow people to think they are challenging the establishment when, in fact they, and their arguments, are being controlled by them. If things get as bad as you say they will, and the working and especially the middle classes wake up to this, then we’ll hopefully see more direct action to change the current state of this country. Thanks for all your excellent posts.👍🏻

I read that we had recently avoided recession because spending had increased. Spending had increased mostly because inflation forced people to spend more on petrol, gas, electricity, groceries etc. The system is broken. We urgently need change!

Gary you are the man and I fully agree with your definition of the root cause of the issue and your overarching solution being to tax the super rich. However, whilst a following might gather momentum have you given thought to other approaches on how you can get those in power to the table? I have watched your videos but IMO your passion might sometimes come across as aggression. The issue with this, is that it can be percieved as opion rather than fact. I'm not saying stop, I'm suggesting a debate that is evidence and knowledge rich (you have this in spades) to prevent politicians from dogging the inequality question at hand. For example, your first videos showcasing where the money flows is simple to understand. If you could back this up with your leadship and maths, I believe you have a recipe that could make a difference for the better. I support you fully for the sake of my kids and grand children to come.

Gary as per= TOP MAN!!

Gary, can you do a video on MMT and Fiat currency please? It feels like it could be a corrective path. Also could you deconstruct the concept of growth, and provide alternatives? Love your videos - keep up the good work!

Keep it up matey. I think people are starting to listen.

Not quite that simple. If a recession leads to mass unemployment then there is something to worry about for millions of people. There is also a possibility during a recession that living standards fall while inequality reduces. This would happen if those at the top also get hammered. Some third world countries have lower wealth inequality than richer countries. However, that does not mean you would want to move there.

why don't the unions fight for RPI linked pay rises? that would block the gov using public sector pay to cover banking bailouts? (similar to state pension "triple lock")

Hi Gary. Can you do a whole video or many videos on how to fix the problem of wealth inequality. In detail with explanations of what the public can do in detail to actually make the solutions happen. Also, can you explain how taxing the richest people can help? The money will go to the government but then how does the public make sure the government uses that money in the right way so it goes to Healthcare, education, etc? Also, I feel that taxing the wealthiest people has been an idea that's been around forever and has never been implemented by any government no matter how they lean (left, right, middle). Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. So, if that is true, how does the public make the government tax the wealthiest people, if no government wants to do it? Also, is taxing the wealthiest people your only solution to the problem of wealth inequality or is there other solutions? As well, hasn't the economy always been set-up to create wealth inequality, like isn't that just how the economy works? If yes, then do we not need a complete overhaul of the entire economy and how it works? Thanks so much for putting out these videos, I'd just like more clarification about all this. 🙂 p.s. I'm from Canada and based on your videos now understand that wealth inequality basically happens all over the world.

Another great video Gary - please could you recommend a platform to trade on ?

Most if not all of nowadays society's problems can be traced back to the unequal wealth distribution and/or lack of representative regulation. Representative of the people's interest. I see this in every country and it's getting worse. It scares me and saddens me a lot.

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!!

Keep on hammering the message home till everyone gets it. Wish there was a (sister) channel that helped people play the system (legally of course) to show what (if any) loopholes can be taken advantage by the average person. PS is Gary stood in the shadow of a giant teapot?!

Gary your explanations are good and all the better with less swear words to reach a wider audience 👍 However you explain wealth inequality but what strategies would you implement to fix this problem? Who can be lobbied to fix this? The rich politicians may be civically minded but at the end of the day they aren’t implementing wealth equality & when they leave politics make a ton of money giving speeches!

To be short, yes…. Yes we are in a recession. It’s inevitable, no matter how much money you make.

I would be interested in your thoughts on the following situation. The "cost of living crisis" was actually caused by oil companies jacking up prices on the pretext of the war in Ukraine. That is to say that their extraction costs remained the same, and in fact the UK's oil does not largely come from Russia, yet they raised the cost of oil, which runs up prices of nearly everything, on this theory/idea. I think it is an utter red herring to call it a 'cost of living crisis' when in fact it was a price gouge which the gov allowed their friends in the old companies, and yes the likes of Truss have been on oil company boards in the past, and refused to implement a windfall tax. Fascinated to hear your pov.

Great video Gary again, please can you start advising mr starmer on the economy as he seems oblivious to real solutions!

Hi Gary, great video. I was wondering what your opinion is on AI and how it will affect the economy/the jobs market? Is this something we should be worried about? Thanks!

we are in a dredful recession at the moment....house prices will crash this year. !

Nice intro adds to the video

It would be great if you could make a video outlining some realistic ways in which we could reduce wealth inequality in the UK over the long term.

Great video. What channels can we use to challenge politicians? What evidence can we use/send to back up our arguments? After a bit of googling it seems that tax policy is set out by the chancellor and treasury. Is it as straight forward as sending letters with evidence there?

Let’s go Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the UK has hit the iceberg and is taking on water. Grab a lifeboat and get off this disaster. Thanx Gary
