Lots of questions Gary doesn’t address in his one-policy approach of tax the wealthy. Who are his targets? How many in the Uk? What rate of tax? Will the total tax take move the needle? Currently lots of wealth capital gets invested in people, businesses and buying stuff. Why is this worse for the country in creating new jobs and wealth compared to giving it to the government to increase the welfare bill?
Loved your book and having found the channel this was the first podcast episode i listened to. Very happy you are taking up this political fight. You make sense. I hope we can make a movement which levels the playing field by raising people up, but agree strongly that a wealth tax is needed, I hope that can start with the billionaires and multinational corporations that manage to avoid the taxes we currently have. Thank you.
I enjoy Gary’s thoughts & ideas but PLEASE improve the clarity & sound of the podcast!!
Fantastic podcast explaining the root cause of our current wealth inequality and ways to address it. My one issue with it is Gary’s voice is quiet compared to the ads or other podcasts, please fix your audio leveling!
Thank you for your dedication to the cause - your wellbeing is paramount so take that time when need, and so you can buy your chicken stock in peace!

A thought-provoking economics-focused show exploring wealth inequality, fiscal policy, and how real-world markets interact with everyday life. Episodes frequently critique wealth accumulation, tax structures, and political leadership, while offering practical perspectives on policy design and societal impact. Noteworthy is a willingness to connect historical economic shifts with today's challenges and to advocate for systemic reforms to improve living standards for the broad middle class. Enthusiasts of clear economic reasoning, accessible analyses of taxation, and debates about policy reform will likely find it compelling and timely.
