The challenge about change is that it doesn't happen evenly or neatly. Wealth transfer is an element of capitalism and has been happening progressively, but as time passes, it is speeding up, aided by the global digital economy, and took a transformative leap during the pandemic. Alongside that we still have many prevailing and conflicting ideologies stemming from the world as it was in the mid-twentieth century.

Gary is, as you say, opening up the debate and naming it. It's interesting that the Labour government have asked to come on to his podcast - it means he is getting through, which is something, and the money is on the government not liking it (video and discussion here).

Your pictures are interesting: there are many places in London, the King's Road, for one, where on one side of the road, the household income is about £10,000pa and on the other, in excess of £100,000pa (not specially high for London, but illustrative of the inequality).

Thanks for publishing the post.
