Episode 48

Friday, November 15, 2024 • Duration 38:10

In this podcast, the first in a short series celebrating the release of the ebook of Rent Unmasked: How to save the global economy and to build a sustainable future - essays in honor of the late great Mason Gaffney, we interview Francis K. Peddle, a leading tax lawyer and philosophy professor.

He emphasizes Gaffney's philosophy of reconciliation, which aims to avoid trade-offs between efficiency and fairness. Peddle critiques mainstream economic views, advocating for a land value tax to address issues like tariffs, farming, and inheritance taxes. He highlights the transparency and fairness of such a system compared to current taxation methods.

Steve Norris - Why is the Treasury the biggest barrier to increasing UK prosperity?

Episode 46

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 • Duration 33:53

In today’s podcast in our Taken for a Ride miniseries celebrating the unique work of property entrepreneur Don Riley, we speak with Steve Norris, the former transport secretary who forced the treasury to invest in the extension (and incidentally) got Crossrail approved in 1995. Steve contributed to the book and doesn’t hold back in his criticisms of the Treasury there and he does the same in the interview.

He began in industry and then began a dual career as a politician in the 1970s, eventually serving as an MP in Margaret Thatcher's government. He was transport minister in John Major’s cabinet from 1992-1997. In 1997, he stepped down from politics to return to his business career.

Today he chairs and advises a number of different companies and charities and leads a small but highly skilled team of people specialising in complex property, infrastructure and transportation projects. He also runs a business that builds more affordable homes for people in and around his adopted city, London.

Dave Wetzel - How New Transport Systems Deliver Extraordinary Profits

Episode 45

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 • Duration 27:39

Welcome back to the third podcast celebrating the second edition of Don Riley’s Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury. Today we are speaking with Dave Wetzel, a committed socialist and environmental campaigner. Whilst he had diametrically opposed political views to Don, they were friends and campaigned together to change government policy.

Dave was the first vice chair of Transport for London working with Ken Livingstone to spearhead a mesmerising number of improvements to London’s transport, especially buses. In this interview we look at how he and others worked to improve communities through better transport and how we could have much better cities and lower taxes if we focused on the value added by well thought out public transport investments.

Every property owner - and future owner - needs to buy this book. Here's why. A conversation with Phillip J Anderson

Episode 42

Monday, April 15, 2024 • Duration 14:31

Welcome back to the Shepheard Walwyn Podcast. Today we begin a series to celebrate and explore the work of Don Riley. We have revised and fully updated Don’s classic work, Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury.

Don was an entrepreneur and landlord in Southwark, London who benefitted massively from a new underground extension, the Jubilee Line Extension in the 1990s. He was able to document through research and through his bank balance just how profitable that public investment was. As a committed entrepreneur he was incensed that he was benefitted from a taxpayer investment. Instead of quietly counting his profits he wrote a book about the corruption that he saw in the economy.

The book has been revised by Fred Harrison, the economist who supported Don writing the original book, Dave Wetzel, former Vice Chair of Transport for London and me. We also have a fascinating contribution from Steve Norris, the transport minister who pushed through Treasury approval for what has become the most profitable and impactful public transport investment London has seen since the War.

In this interview, I interview Phil Anderson, author of The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking. Phil was friends with Don and spent time understanding his approach to investing and the work he did that you can benefit from in Taken for a Ride. Here are the time stamps.
