The Inequality of Wealth with Gary Stevenson

Let me see if I can enhance the audio on this this week - but a few people asked me about teaming up with the great Gary Stevenson! In fact, we've been collaborating on bits and pieces for a while - so I thought I'd share this sit down we did together to launch the paperback of the Inequality of Wealth with me and Gary, chaired by the great Rosa Prince. You can get the here: www.theinequalityofwealth.co.uk Here's the blurb: The super-rich have never had it so good. But millions of us can’t afford a home, an education or a pension. And unless we change course soon, the future will be even worse. Much worse. But things don’t have to be like this. In this bold new book, former Treasury Minister Liam Byrne explains why wealth inequality has grown so fast in recent years; warns how it threatens our society, economy and politics; shows where economics has got it wrong – and lays out a path back to common sense, with five practical ways to rebuild an old ideal: the wealth-owning democracy. #inequality #garyseconomics #business #inequalityofwealth Liam Byrne draws on conversations and debates with former prime ministers, presidents and policymakers around the world, together with experts at the OECD, World Bank and IMF, to argue that after twenty years of statistics and slogans it’s time for solutions that aren’t just radical but plausible and achievable as well. The future won’t be a land of milk and honey but it could be a place where we live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives.Subscribe for news from Liam Byrne MP ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGTc043Wp5uGXjXWQdqvJVg?sub_confirmation=1 New book: www.inequalityofwealth.co.uk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@liam.byrne.mp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liambyrnemp/ Substack: https://liambyrnemp.substack.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LiamByrneMPHodgeHill/?locale=en_GB Twitter: @liambyrnemp BlueSky: liambyrnemp@bsky.social LinkIN: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/rt-hon-liam-byrne-mp-2839a924 Website: www.liambyrnemp.co.uk Liam Byrne is the MP for Birmingham Hodge Hill & Solihull North, Chair of the House of Commons Business & Trade Committee, and the Global Parliamentary Network of the IMF & World Bank.
