I’m Richard Murphy, political economist, author of the Funding the Future blog, and a long-time critic of the failed ideas driving our economy. On this channel, I expose why the UK economy doesn’t work for most people — from wealth inequality to the myths around government debt and neoliberal austerity. More importantly, I explore real-world solutions: how we can use money, investment, and the power of government to create a fair, sustainable society. If you’re ready to move beyond economic myths and challenge the rigged system shaping British politics, subscribe. Let’s rethink what our economy could be.
