Garys Economics

This channel started 4 years ago today. Which of my predictions came true?

"They'll leave" is the most common response in the media if you suggest a wealth tax. But will they?

Introducing my new course on economics: PART 1 What is Wealth?

Immigration isn't the biggest problem facing working class people. Don't believe the media.

There's an election coming up, and the tories are going to lose. But don't get too excited, because I don't have much hope in Labour either. Here are my thoughts.

Are investments from rich people helping our economy to grow?

Taxes pay for everything important. But I want the rich to pay more and you to pay less.

The rich own everything, but they hide it in their tax returns.

Don't believe the media hype: inflation will fall but it won't make a big difference to your life.

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.

Want to live a life of luxury and never work again? Passive income might be the answer (disclaimer: you have to own £ millions of assets first)

Growing the economy while inequality is surging will just make the rich even richer.

Gary explains how you can get rich.

How's your local high street doing? This is how inequality is reshaping our country.

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?

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.

Taxes are set to reach all time highs. But if this is the case, why is the government so bankrupt? And why are public services collapsing? In this video I explain why.

The problem is ballooning wealth inequality. But what is the solution?

Economists have gotten game theory wrong for seventy years. Here's why.

Middle class families are getting poorer generation by generation. And the trend is accelerating.

Understand this and you'll understand how our economy really functions.

Gary explains how to understand interest rates – and how these influence house prices.

Gary analyses the economy over the past 6 months. And what he expects to happen next.

Economists in central banks, government, universities and the media have done a phenomenally poor job of managing the economy over the last 20 years. Gary explains why he thinks that is.

Your money is decreasing in value all the time compared to real assets. Gary explains how to protect yourself from this currency devaluation.

We're in a strange economic situation where those in families who took on huge amounts of debt to buy houses have been massively rewarded from surging prices. Gary explains how debt is a form of ownership. And how to benefit from this.

If nothing changes and the rich continue taking all their assets, we will lose the middle class in the UK in the next 30-40 years.

Housing affects everyone, even if you don't own any. Gary explains what pushes house prices up over time. And what he expects to happen to house prices, interest rates and inflation in the coming years.

We've moved into a new type of economy where the work you do cannot transform your economic situation in the way it used to. Welcome to the Asset Economy.

The reason goes a lot deeper than simply there are bunch of rich people in government like Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt. The reticence to tax the rich stems from the bankruptcy of an entire profession: economics. Gary explains why.

Understanding how wealth moves around the economy allowed me to successfully predict how major crises like the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid crisis would affect the economy.

Most people lose all of their money trading. You're competing against full-time professionals who are there to take your money. If you do decide to trade, however, listen to these tips first.

What we're witnessing in slow motion is the death of the UK's middle class, as the super rich accumulate all of their assets. Gary explains how we got here. And what we can do about it.

You've been misled to think that the richest pay the most tax. They don't. Gary explains how our tax system is set up to tax income, not wealth – and therefore how it misses the really rich people in the UK.

Gary explains how the failed idea has fuelled a huge growth in inequality.

Gary reacts to the Truss government's mini-budget that crashed the markets.

What does it take to be rich in 2022? Gary unpacks what being rich looks like – and why you should pay more tax if you fall into the category.

Stephanie Brobbey, a former private wealth lawyer, has seen up close how the rich reduce the amount of tax they pay. She talks to Gary about why she left the wealth management industry.

"There are more food banks than McDonald's in the UK. When I heard that I just thought: I can't continue being part of this system which is essentially designed to keep concentrating wealth and minimizing tax."

Economists in the media and universities have no idea what's going on. Here's why you shouldn't believe what they say.

There's been a huge increase in online trading over the past two years. For many people this has led to financial losses, and gambling addictions. Gary talks to gambling expert and campaigner Matt Zarb-Cousin about the risk of addiction, and how people can keep themselves, and their money, safe

Governments have responded to Covid by pumping huge amounts of money into the economy. But where has this money gone?

Economists love to make predictions in the media, but they're almost always wrong. Here's why.

Gary explains why he thinks owning property is so important. And what he thinks about other types of investing.

House prices are rising faster than wages in major cities around the world. Why is this happening, and can we do anything about it?

Gary shares his vision of what the economy could look like if we followed the ideas of John Maynard Keynes.

"If you were born poor you will die poorand if you were born rich you will die richer." Gary explains the difference between wealth and income – and why failing to tax wealth will lead to worsening inequality.

Coronavirus is having a huge affect on wealth distribution and inequality. Gary explains how it benefits the rich and hurts the poor.
