We're getting there all around the world.

Here in the UK, and I'll talk about this some more next week, we're going to get a new prime minister.

It could be as soon as the next couple of months.

It might take a year.

But when that new prime minister comes in, they will really, really, really, really struggle to win the confidence of the public unless they deliver something on inequality.

And the reason for that is quite simply because the British public understands now that if you don't act on inequality, their living standards will fall.

And I've been all across the world in the last year or so.

I've been, obviously, Australia, New Zealand.

We had Gabriel Zucman here from France last week.

But I've been to Italy and Portugal and Sweden and Norway.

And people are starting to understand this all over the world.

And we are reaching a situation where when even a right-wing government comes in in Hungary, they have no choice but to take action in equality.

And I think it's amazing the progress that we've made.

But the fact that Bezos feels that he can come out on TV and say, taxi me is not going to help you, shows that we have more distance to go.

we need to make that clear message for the public to understand of course it affects us of course it affects us if we allow a class like you to own everything then we will go back to where we were in Europe 300, 400, 500 years ago where the whole world is owned by like 20 guys and the rest of us live in desperate poverty you know this is part of the foundation of America this idea that you cannot have you know this all of the wealth owned by a few people but also

When I see Jeff Bezos come out, it gives me hope, to be honest.

Because, you know, when I first started working on inequalities, 2011 is when I first started working on it.

Nobody was interested in this.

And we've been pushing it, we've been pushing it, you know, people like...

Me and Gabriel Zuckman, but also the guys, you know, so many different people all across the world that have done great work on this.
