I only saw Gary for the first time recently. He might be specifically talking about Britain but what he's saying applies everywhere. I'm Australian and he could easily be describing Australia, Our government just pulled $38 Billion out of thin air during COVID at one point, with no explanation of where it came from or an explanation of how they decided why anyone got any of it. A few weeks ago when the 2021/22 publicly listed companies had their reporting season it was announced that the CEOs of the ASX 200 had a new record HIGH average salary of $9.5 million. That's a wage bill of $1.9 billion for 200 people. That doesn't include all the other executives, board members or their bonuses. Now I know where our $38 Billion went.

Politicians are only instruments in hands of rich people. They all behave like well organize crime organization. Huge respect for people like Gary who can translate news into a normal language.✌👍

I have never left a comment before on any KZread. Gary makes so much sense to me I had to voice my support. It's a mad world.

Gary they're not calling you because they know you'll be telling them what they don't want to hear: that wealth inequality lies at the heart of the problem of a floundering economy. Why would millionaires in govt and the billionaires they represent want to change that?

Great video. I do think a major problem is the lack of understanding of economics among the general public, as so few study this topic during their education. This means that economic experts are able to bamboozle their audience with jargon. Reminds me of the priestly class during medieval times who where able to do the same when talking about religious matters as they were the only ones who read Latin and had access to sacred texts. We need a reformation in economics so ordinary people are able to make a contribution.

As a complete economics muggle, I find your explanations very straightforward and informative, although depressing. I hope someone of significance is listening and has the power to act.

Thanks so much Gary. U tell us the truth of economics in the world nowadays.

When I was a temp, in 2013, a posh banker at wealth management firm sat me down in front of his screen to show me that the economy had fully bounced back since 2008 (he called that single line graph 'the economy')! It's like both of us thought we were talking to a child. Him imparting wisdom, me patting him on the head for misinterpreting what a graph actually represents. Only difference was he will probably earn ten times more than I can ever dream of. 🙃

After I finished my second masters, I couldn't get a job so I wrote MBA dissertations for a few years. I have produced about 50 dissos - more research than most lecturers - never kept it secret, never hung anyone out to dry either, but no lasting work from it. I tell you this to explain that I have an idea what you're saying, and I follow your channel because I know your arguments are valid...and it's nice to know that we are heard 😁 keep up the good work

I am astounded that these videos aren't more popular. Your insight is golden.

There are some exceptions to the rule about economists growing up in poverty, Mark Blyth being a good example of someone who has made good predictions on finance and politics, and well worth a read. Yanis Varoufakis is is an academic who has called out the fallacies in teaching economics, and there are plenty of videos of him on YT Joe Stiglitz has also written widely on inequality and capitalism. I guess these people are the exception rather than the rule

He's got 113k now, being February 2924. It's a start. Plus Gary's just launched his book. That will increase awareness and more interviews will feedback into that. I just spoke to a bloke working for the man on a bank enquiry line and gave him the heads-up about Gary's channel. If we all do this with random strangers as well as friends, just talking over the situation generally and leading to the specific, things will change. It's incremental. We have to wake the Labour Party from its slumber.

Chomsky has been saying this for decades; Economics is normally used as an ideological weapon.

Heck, this video should be mandatory to watch - my only complaint is I think I need counselling now.

At least back in the 30s when the economy went tits up, (some of) the bankers in the towers had the decency to chuck themselves from their windows. That tradition should make a comeback.

Your videos should be standard viewing for all students Gary. Bravo for your straight-talking and passion.

What the government tell us this money printing was for was to fund for furlough; all the track and trace systems; PPE etc and we believe them because we have little to no understanding about how the system really works.

Mark Blyth comes from a working class background, and is left wing and talk about how fucked things are since neoliberalism took over.

This economic cock up doesn't just start at age 21, it starts from the moment you are born. At each point in your life you go through a selective (or deselective) process to decide where you will end up. If you have wealth, then you are more likely to have more life choices due to your access to resources.

Really like you Gary - the fact that most journalists at big broadsheets (especially on finance desks) are also from privileged backgrounds. They are able to do unpaid internships in London because they have parents to bankroll it. Sadly, they are the privileged economists that aren’t smart enough for the city jobs. So the fifth estate is unable to hold the government to account

Could it be that those who _hold_ the purse strings know exactly what is going on? I don't mean the government because it's clear their economic ideas are old, simplistic and often downright wrong (e.g. treating the economy like a household's finances).

Amazing and educational as always. I think you should b-roll your videos with some impactful images. Would create more impact and the KZread audience loves it.

Nice video! For those of us who don't work for big banks, how can we best learn more about economics? I mean other than by watching your videos!

Hi Gary, absolutely love the content in this video. I can really hear what you are saying about people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds not having much of a choice about pursuing the academic career or city bank career. Internship or apprenticeship salaries are so low for certain industries in the UK that certain types of jobs will only attract people from wealthier backgrounds and not necessarily talented people. I feel as though the content in this video is a consequence of neoliberalism. The government having very little intervention with regards to the cost of living crisis, this makes the poor poorer and the rich richer. I think there is a conflict of interest for the government to resolve this as that would mean having to go against their own philosophies of the free market ideology.

I'm catching up to your videos, and sharing them. Just found you this week. You're a good guy, and I never expected to say that to someone who got rich on London's Wall St. You didn't sell your soul. Thank you.

Absolutely love your passion. Don’t ever stop banging that drum man.

Gary your videos are thought provoking, insightful but terrifying. I recently read a quote "every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets" credited to a Paul Batalden. Whilst it was made within the context of healthcare is does seem to relate nicely to what you are talking about. It is in a book by Professor Gwyn Bevan titled "how did Britain come to this?" Gary I think you may like it !

Yes, I've always considered those IMF and Central Banks GURUS just a bunch of "I got no idea what's going on" type of guys. Their discourse is always confusing, citing at least five old economists, that nobody know, in a simple sentence. They do what others tell them to do but believing that it's their own opinion. I have work with these people all my live in academia and Central Banks... I knew they were bad economists... Thank you for clarifying the reason.

Gary. So how would you fix the problem of £600b that's gone to the rich. How do you reverse it and how do you fix it?

Well, there is Mark Blyth. Came from an ordinary, even pretty rough, Scottish family. Now a Professor in Political Economy at Brown University. I think he knows what he's talking about.

This is so true!

"Media, full of rich idiots" I couldn't agree more. It takes a working class person to speak the truth. I certainly feel your frustration when you can see the truth & understand the situation but are dismissed because of class. Having worked on the fringes of the UK media industry for over 20yrs, I can definitely say it's an industry where talent is not necessary when you come from the right background. It's more of a status 'club' or a hobby for those who don't have to earn a living, rather than commercial product manufacture. It's also a magnet for entitled, self righteous narcissists, which probably better explains why it's the way it is. Listening to you explain economics in such an open & honest way really helps me to better understand what is going on now. I knew the numbers didn't add up (no un intended), but I didn't know why. Keep exposing the truth. It's greatly appreciated.

It's hard for intelligent compassionate empaths to understand narcissists - the narcissists often play dumb so they can get away with it.

Other academic areas do study this subject. Economic Geography - geographies of wealth and inequality. Policy institutes. Community Psychology and how society structures are not helping people in many ways. Probably need to go beyond economics departments.

Thank you. You give me hope. You have hit the mark in a way Noble Prize Economists have failed miserably.

I love the central point. The people who shrewdly understand what is really happening are not the people running the economy. Also the total absence of impact to professional reputation or earnings for academics / politicians / journalists - means the runaway train has no brakes.

The reason the media did not question where the money went is because the money went to the people they work for.

They are happy with how things are going, so why change? The general public are so distracted with other things which is what the elites and governments want.

The system is not expecting positive outcomes for the majority. The system is broken for the ordinary, but working perfectly for those for whom it was created for.

renegade telling truth - i love this❤

I love what you're doing, Gary. The only point on which I disagree with you - I don't think the system is broken; I think it was created this way so wealth remains with the super-privileged.

The poor are poor,because they listen to Government.They are told only professionals can manage their money.So they never learn how to do it for themselves.We can see how that has worked out.

Do you think energy prices will go down? They are up 10-50 times across UK and EU. Nobody is capable of paying renovations and 1000 GBP/EUR bills.

Well lads... here we are.

I sat in the same seat - 25 years ago at Lehman Brothers - this is the truth

Great video Gary. When you talk about the government giving £450 billion to the rich, and that this was done through quantitative easing, how does this money all end up in the hands of the rich? I'm not doubting at all that you are right, I just don't think I understand quite how it works.

What's your thoughts on interest rates in the EU and UK moving forward? I'd be very interested to get your thoughts and predictions

Bro, I hope your talking to Yannis Varoufakis. The Economy is The Congress. Democracy, the rule of the people, is based on three pillars 1. Everyone has an equal vote. 2. Voting is not obligatory, ie veto (You may have to vote, but none of the above must be an option). 3. The way you vote is private. Voting with ballots is for suckers. Voting with money is a much better idea. That does not preclude diversity of wealth or the opportunity to achieve anything you want in life. Social Democracy is achieved with uncinditional basic income, an equal dividend of tax wealth for everyone, rich and poor alike. Political Democracy, however, can be augmented with a Conditional Income which must be spent in an Ultruistic Congressional Crowd Fund. In this Crowd Fund, everyone has 1. an equal amount of money 2. do not have to take part. 3. are anonymous in their choice. This is how you can use money to vote instead of ballots and make it democratic. By understanding economies as congressional, either partially in the case of UBI, or totally in the case of CBI, we can see we don't really live in a democracy at all, because the power of decision making is not ballots, but money. If we can demand an augmentation to our political system with an Alturistic Congressional Crowd Fund we could transition to a brighter more altruistic future full of potential and opportunity. Let me use an example for the UK, Foreign Aid. Create an Ultruistic Congressional Crowd fund for Foreign Aid, fill it with the campaigns of applicants for this aid, split the budget for foreign aid equally and proportionally as a credit into each citizen's Crowd Fund Account and let the people spend their way to the democratic decision on how that foreign aid money should be spent. Am I reaching you? The Pople are The Government. Panta Rei xxx

This is the same in virtually every subject in academia. That is the nature of university life. I think the danger you have Gary, is that very few people understand macro economics.

Currently Sharpening the Knives "1672: THE YEAR THE DUTCH ATE THEIR PRIME MINISTER"

Well said,

Yes, we need to tax the 0.1 % hard for public works and social projects to relieve the 99.9%of us. Meanwhile, maybe the way forward for the little folk / retail traders is to consistently bet on the opposite of what the bank economic analysts and academic economists say.

If you print money, you cause inflation. In the credit crisis we didn’t get inflation in the supermarkets, only in property prices. This time it seems that inflation is hitting both sectors. I don’t get it.

Can you teach us how to predict the economy status? What I mean is what and where to look to get the data (e.g. bank of England announcements etc.). Also I assume that 'us' is people who's got some basic clue about economy (a related degree, work experience).

Why are they not calling you? I'm pretty sure it's *not* because they don't respect your economical chops. It's because they know you won't tell them what they want to hear. Serving the rich is literally their job, maybe not officially but that is the reality. And the economists in academia are the ones who can be relied upon to justify the policies that billionaires want.

You bloody hero!

Great plain speaking Gary, probably prophetic, and more people should be listening to you. You and Martin Lewis really need to team up. He knows he can’t fix this problem, that money saving tips are merely tinkering around the edges. With his profile and your insights you might both make waves and there might be hope for future generations.

Gary, the political parties are happy with the way the economy is being run. Government are happy with money going to the rich, if it cause’s hardship to the working people they don’t care.
