The Inequality of Wealth: A Clear & Present Danger - Liam Byrne

Описание: The super-rich are thriving like never before, while millions of us are struggling to afford basic needs like a home, education, or a secure future. And if we don’t act now, things are going to get much worse. But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be this way.

Liam Byrne, former Treasury Minister and current Labour MP, is here to break down why wealth inequality has spiraled out of control. He’ll expose how this growing divide is threatening the very fabric of our society, economy, and politics, and reveal where economics has gone off the rails. But more importantly, he’s offering real solutions—five practical ways to rebuild what we’ve lost: a fairer, wealth-owning democracy.

Drawing from discussions with global leaders and experts, Liam isn’t just talking radical ideas—he’s talking achievable change. The future might not be a utopia, but it could be one where we all live longer, healthier, and wealthier lives. Ready to hear how we can turn things around?
