The Wealth Tax Debate Is A Trap

The Wealth Tax Debate Rages On
Back and Forth
Up and Down
But what does it miss?
And Why Is It Always so Circular and Never Ending?

01:00 : Capital pooling into assets / Piketty
01:20 : IMF and OECD
03:45 : Henley and Partners Statistics
05:15 : "What type of wealth tax?"
06:30 : Running for the ball / zigzag

I’m Barry Ferns, a comedian whose personal journey through failure, homelessness, and rebuilding led me to explore the socio and behavioural economics of inequality.

This channel digs into how systems of power shape our identity, behaviour, and beliefs, and how we can shift the stories we tell ourselves and each other about poverty, inequality, and who’s to blame.
