| How to live in a collapsing economy | 18 Aug 2024 | 00:53:44 | |
Everyone basically knows the economy is broken. The question is less and less how do we fix it, but how do we get through it. Gary talks to Robinson College, Cambridge. | |||
| What's next for me and this podcast? | 11 Aug 2024 | 00:16:39 | |
An update from Gary. | |||
| Rishi Sunak's taxes – the real story | 26 May 2024 | 00:15:16 | |
The rich own everything, but they hide it in their tax returns. | |||
| Inflation will start falling. But your finances will still suck | 19 May 2024 | 00:15:50 | |
Don't believe the media hype: inflation will fall but it won't make a big difference to your life. | |||
| The government should tax the super rich and burn the money. Here's why | 12 May 2024 | 00:10:57 | |
You could tax and burn the £700 billion given out in Covid and living standards would improve. | |||

Compared to real assets like property, food and energy, wages in the UK have collapsed in the last 20 years – and it's accelerating. | |||
| Is passive income the answer? | 28 Apr 2024 | 00:08:17 | |

| They're not measuring inflation properly | 24 Mar 2024 | 00:08:30 | |
Inflation has been high on the news agenda due to the cost of living crisis. When you see people talking about inflation they'll almost always be talking about the rising costs of things you buy in the shops, which is retail price inflation or consumer price inflation. But what about asset price inflation? Assets have been going up for years, and faster than goods and services, so why is that rarely mentioned? | |||
| Why the rich keep getting richer | 17 Mar 2024 | 00:09:27 | |
If you look back across history, you find that inequality is the norm. After the second world war that changed, and there was a period of rising equality across the west. But rising inequality is back, unless we do something about it. | |||
