Barrys Economics - The Joke Version

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.

Some of you might be wondering whether what I am doing is a piss take. I can assure you all that it is not! But if it was - it would look something like this.
