In times of crisis people are desperate for stories to explain why their lives are getting worse. This is why storytelling is the most important – but most ignored – aspect of politics right now.

The economy is made up of real resources, and the people who produce and own them. Money is different. Money is supposed to represent these real things, but it often fails to. Focusing too much on money – and interest rates and monetary policy – blinds us to how the economy actually works. Gary explains why this is so important if we want to change anything.–––––––––––Support us: we're making progress in our campaign to convince MPs and the public to tax wealth not work.

Worsening mental health outcomes are often spoken about as if they are the fault of the individual, but is insecure mental health a natural outcome of an insecure economy?And does the feedback work both ways - insecure economies cause people to be scared, easily manipulated, and individualistic, which prevents ordinary people from uniting and fighting back as a class?Also a little on my own historical struggles with the economy and mental health, both in the past and now."In a mad world, only the mad are sane" ~ Akira KurosawaTake care of yourselves and each otherxx(00:00) Introduction (03:31) Mental health is affected by the economy (04:55) Me on Question Time (06:15) Mental health is a symptom of something bigger(09:50) Deteriorating mental health makes political action hard (16:00) More and more people know collapse is coming(20:13) Hard work no longer pays(22:24) Personal struggles(25:09) What can we do?(30:17) Why it's so urgent
