I'm not against productivity I'm not against<00:01:27.640> economic<00:01:27.960> growth<00:01:28.240> I<00:01:28.320> think<00:01:28.439> these

00:01:28

against economic growth I think these

00:01:28

against economic growth I think these things<00:01:28.720> are<00:01:28.840> all<00:01:29.000> good<00:01:29.159> things

00:01:31

things are all good things

00:01:31

things are all good things if<00:01:32.079> fundamentally<00:01:33.079> the<00:01:33.280> biggest<00:01:33.680> problem<00:01:34.040> was

00:01:34

if fundamentally the biggest problem was

00:01:34

if fundamentally the biggest problem was a<00:01:35.040> lack<00:01:35.240> of<00:01:35.360> UK

00:01:36

a lack of UK

00:01:36

a lack of UK productivity<00:01:37.280> number<00:01:37.560> one<00:01:38.079> what<00:01:38.200> we'd<00:01:38.399> be

00:01:38

productivity number one what we'd be

00:01:38

productivity number one what we'd be seeing<00:01:38.799> is<00:01:39.000> living<00:01:39.280> standards<00:01:39.720> falling

00:01:40

seeing is living standards falling

00:01:40

seeing is living standards falling specifically<00:01:41.040> in<00:01:41.159> the<00:01:41.280> UK<00:01:41.960> and<00:01:42.079> I<00:01:42.159> think<00:01:42.280> a<00:01:42.360> lot

00:01:42

specifically in the UK and I think a lot

00:01:42

specifically in the UK and I think a lot of<00:01:42.640> people<00:01:43.079> who<00:01:43.280> who<00:01:43.680> live<00:01:43.920> in<00:01:44.040> the<00:01:44.159> UK<00:01:44.399> feel

00:01:44

of people who who live in the UK feel

00:01:44

of people who who live in the UK feel that<00:01:44.799> what<00:01:44.880> we<00:01:45.000> have<00:01:45.119> is<00:01:45.240> a<00:01:45.399> specific<00:01:45.759> UK

00:01:46

that what we have is a specific UK

the second thing is to say

00:02:31

the second thing is to say if<00:02:31.440> the<00:02:31.680> problem<00:02:32.000> was<00:02:32.280> a<00:02:32.480> lack<00:02:32.680> of<00:02:32.840> growth<00:02:33.120> in

00:02:43

The Last 5 Years specifically we have

00:02:43

The Last 5 Years specifically we have seen<00:02:44.280> really<00:02:44.720> a<00:02:44.920> collapse<00:02:45.360> in<00:02:45.480> the<00:02:45.599> living

00:02:49

this has happened at the same time as

00:02:49

this has happened at the same time as the<00:02:49.120> enormous<00:02:49.480> growth<00:02:50.200> inequality<00:02:51.200> we<00:02:51.360> we've

00:02:51

the enormous growth inequality we we've

00:02:51

the enormous growth inequality we we've reached<00:02:51.760> a<00:02:51.920> situation<00:02:52.480> now<00:02:52.760> when<00:02:53.040> you<00:02:53.120> know

00:02:53

reached a situation now when you know

00:02:53

reached a situation now when you know about<00:02:53.599> half<00:02:54.080> of<00:02:54.239> the<00:02:54.560> families<00:02:54.879> in<00:02:55.000> the

00:02:55

about half of the families in the

00:02:55

about half of the families in the country<00:02:56.000> struggle<00:02:56.480> to<00:02:56.680> simultaneously<00:02:57.680> feed

00:02:57

country struggle to simultaneously feed

00:02:58

country struggle to simultaneously feed their<00:02:58.200> kids<00:02:58.560> and<00:02:58.680> turn<00:02:58.879> the<00:02:58.959> heating<00:02:59.239> on<00:02:59.480> in

00:02:59

their kids and turn the heating on in

00:02:59

their kids and turn the heating on in the

00:03:00

the

00:03:00

the winter<00:03:01.560> and<00:03:01.879> this<00:03:02.040> has<00:03:02.200> not<00:03:02.440> coincided<00:03:03.120> with<00:03:03.200> a

00:03:03

winter and this has not coincided with a

00:03:03

winter and this has not coincided with a collapse<00:03:03.840> in<00:03:03.959> in<00:03:04.080> British<00:03:04.519> productivity<00:03:05.519> yeah

00:03:05

collapse in in British productivity yeah

00:03:05

collapse in in British productivity yeah we<00:03:05.760> can<00:03:05.879> argue<00:03:06.120> there's<00:03:06.319> stagnation<00:03:06.760> in

00:03:06

we can argue there's stagnation in

00:03:06

we can argue there's stagnation in British

00:03:08

British

00:03:08

British productivity<00:03:09.560> but<00:03:09.760> productivity<00:03:10.239> is<00:03:10.319> not

00:03:10

productivity but productivity is not

00:03:10

productivity but productivity is not collapsing<00:03:11.040> and<00:03:11.159> yet<00:03:11.280> living<00:03:11.519> standards<00:03:11.840> are

00:03:11

collapsing and yet living standards are

00:03:11

collapsing and yet living standards are collapsing<00:03:12.319> so<00:03:12.519> again<00:03:12.680> we<00:03:12.799> have<00:03:13.040> a<00:03:13.200> second

00:03:13

collapsing so again we have a second

00:03:13

collapsing so again we have a second disconnect<00:03:14.159> here<00:03:15.159> but<00:03:15.319> the<00:03:15.480> third<00:03:15.720> thing<00:03:15.920> and

00:03:15

disconnect here but the third thing and

00:03:16

disconnect here but the third thing and I<00:03:16.120> think<00:03:16.239> the<00:03:16.400> most<00:03:16.599> important<00:03:16.920> disconnect<00:03:17.440> is

00:03:18

I think the most important disconnect is

00:03:18

I think the most important disconnect is if<00:03:18.640> the<00:03:18.799> fundamental<00:03:19.640> problem<00:03:20.640> in<00:03:20.760> the

00:03:20

if the fundamental problem in the

00:03:20

if the fundamental problem in the British<00:03:21.200> economy<00:03:21.560> or<00:03:21.680> even<00:03:21.920> the<00:03:22.040> global

00:03:22

British economy or even the global

00:03:22

British economy or even the global economy<00:03:22.720> is<00:03:22.840> a<00:03:22.959> lack<00:03:23.080> of

00:03:24

economy is a lack of

00:03:24

economy is a lack of productivity

00:03:25

productivity

00:03:25

productivity why<00:03:26.920> is<00:03:27.200> wealth<00:03:27.560> of<00:03:27.760> the<00:03:27.959> richest<00:03:28.519> people<00:03:28.720> in

yesterday do you really think the problem<00:05:08.160> is<00:05:08.360> productivity<00:05:08.880> growth<00:05:09.320> do<00:05:09.400> you

00:05:09

problem is productivity growth do you

00:05:09

problem is productivity growth do you not<00:05:09.680> think<00:05:09.800> there<00:05:09.960> might<00:05:10.120> be<00:05:10.240> a<00:05:10.320> deeper

00:05:10

00:05:10

not think there might be a deeper problem<00:05:10.840> with<00:05:10.960> inequality<00:05:11.639> so<00:05:12.360> I<00:05:12.440> think<00:05:12.560> we

00:05:12

problem with inequality so I think we

00:05:12

problem with inequality so I think we need<00:05:12.759> to<00:05:12.880> look<00:05:13.039> a<00:05:13.160> little<00:05:13.320> bit<00:05:13.479> closer<00:05:13.800> at<00:05:13.919> who

00:05:44

rapidly turning around to you and saying

00:05:44

rapidly turning around to you and saying the<00:05:44.639> problem<00:05:44.840> is<00:05:45.120> productivity<00:05:46.120> you<00:05:46.400> guys<00:05:46.639> are

00:05:47

the problem is productivity you guys are

00:05:47

the problem is productivity you guys are just<00:05:47.759> not<00:05:48.520> productive<00:05:49.039> enough<00:05:49.400> and<00:05:49.560> I

00:05:50

just not productive enough and I

00:05:50

just not productive enough and I think<00:05:51.360> what<00:05:51.520> we<00:05:51.759> have<00:05:52.440> here<00:05:53.440> is<00:05:53.720> one<00:05:53.919> single

00:05:54

think what we have here is one single

00:05:54

think what we have here is one single example<00:05:54.600> of<00:05:54.720> a<00:05:54.840> much<00:05:55.039> broader<00:05:55.520> problem<00:05:56.280> which

00:05:56

example of a much broader problem which

00:05:56

example of a much broader problem which is<00:05:56.720> that<00:05:57.000> economists<00:05:57.759> and<00:05:57.960> politicians<00:05:58.759> who

00:05:59

is that economists and politicians who

00:05:59

is that economists and politicians who very<00:05:59.280> often<00:05:59.720> are<00:06:00.080> very

00:06:02

rich<00:06:03.400> live<00:06:03.759> in<00:06:04.080> an<00:06:04.319> economy<00:06:04.800> which<00:06:05.080> is<00:06:06.160> seeing

00:06:07

rich live in an economy which is seeing

00:06:07

rich live in an economy which is seeing lifesty<00:06:07.720> of<00:06:07.840> the<00:06:07.960> very<00:06:08.160> rich<00:06:08.479> get

00:06:09

lifesty of the very rich get

00:06:09

lifesty of the very rich get fantastically<00:06:10.080> better<00:06:10.400> seeing<00:06:10.680> the<00:06:10.800> wealth

00:06:10

fantastically better seeing the wealth

00:06:11

fantastically better seeing the wealth of<00:06:11.120> the<00:06:11.240> very<00:06:11.440> rich<00:06:11.680> explode<00:06:12.080> very<00:06:12.319> quickly

00:06:13

of the very rich explode very quickly

00:06:13

of the very rich explode very quickly while<00:06:13.599> your<00:06:13.800> living<00:06:14.039> standards

00:06:15

while your living standards

00:06:15

while your living standards collapse<00:06:16.120> turning<00:06:16.479> around<00:06:16.680> to<00:06:16.840> you<00:06:17.000> and

00:06:17

collapse turning around to you and

00:06:17

collapse turning around to you and saying<00:06:17.560> the<00:06:17.680> problem<00:06:17.880> is<00:06:18.000> your

00:06:18

saying the problem is your

00:06:18

saying the problem is your productivity<00:06:19.880> um<00:06:20.639> and<00:06:21.639> let's<00:06:21.919> unwrap<00:06:22.400> unwrap

00:06:22

productivity um and let's unwrap unwrap

00:06:22

productivity um and let's unwrap unwrap a<00:06:22.840> little<00:06:22.960> bit<00:06:23.080> what<00:06:23.199> productivity<00:06:23.720> is

00:06:23

a little bit what productivity is

00:06:23

a little bit what productivity is because<00:06:24.000> I<00:06:24.080> think<00:06:24.240> productivity<00:06:24.800> sounds<00:06:25.120> like

00:06:25

because I think productivity sounds like

00:06:25

because I think productivity sounds like a<00:06:25.319> very<00:06:25.479> moralistic<00:06:26.039> term<00:06:26.759> productivity<00:06:27.319> is

00:06:27

a very moralistic term productivity is

00:06:27

a very moralistic term productivity is basically<00:06:27.919> GDP<00:06:28.919> per<00:06:29.120> worker<00:06:29.720> or<00:06:30.000> sometimes

00:06:30

basically GDP per worker or sometimes

00:06:30

basically GDP per worker or sometimes it's<00:06:30.400> GDP<00:06:30.960> per<00:06:31.240> hour<00:06:32.360> worked<00:06:33.360> so<00:06:33.599> essentially

00:06:34

it's GDP per hour worked so essentially

00:06:34

it's GDP per hour worked so essentially unless<00:06:34.919> you<00:06:35.000> know<00:06:35.160> people<00:06:35.360> are<00:06:35.479> working

00:06:35

unless you know people are working

00:06:35

unless you know people are working rapidly<00:06:36.080> more<00:06:36.280> hours<00:06:36.680> which<00:06:36.919> in<00:06:37.039> the<00:06:37.120> UK<00:06:37.400> they

00:06:37

rapidly more hours which in the UK they

00:06:37

rapidly more hours which in the UK they are<00:06:38.520> essentially<00:06:39.280> it<00:06:39.400> comes<00:06:39.599> down<00:06:39.720> to<00:06:39.880> GDP

00:06:40

are essentially it comes down to GDP

00:06:40

are essentially it comes down to GDP growth<00:06:40.759> and<00:06:40.919> these<00:06:41.080> guys<00:06:41.240> are<00:06:41.440> basically

00:06:41

growth and these guys are basically

00:06:41

growth and these guys are basically saying<00:06:42.039> the<00:06:42.120> reason<00:06:42.360> you're<00:06:42.560> poor<00:06:43.560> is<00:06:43.720> because

00:06:43

saying the reason you're poor is because

00:06:44

saying the reason you're poor is because GDP<00:06:44.680> growth<00:06:45.680> is<00:06:46.000> is<00:06:46.160> not<00:06:46.360> high<00:06:46.960> enough<00:06:47.960> and<00:06:48.759> um

00:06:49

GDP growth is is not high enough and um

00:06:49

GDP growth is is not high enough and um first<00:06:50.160> to<00:06:50.280> say<00:06:50.599> GDP<00:06:50.960> is<00:06:51.080> not<00:06:51.280> is<00:06:51.360> not<00:06:51.520> falling

00:06:52

first to say GDP is not is not falling

00:08:33

inequality and what I see is a sick

00:08:33

inequality and what I see is a sick economy<00:08:34.519> which<00:08:34.880> has<00:08:35.000> a<00:08:35.159> growing<00:08:35.519> cancer<00:08:36.000> of

about your cancer grow your way out of

00:08:42

about your cancer grow your way out of it<00:08:43.719> listen<00:08:44.120> we<00:08:44.320> grow<00:08:44.640> year<00:08:44.920> after<00:08:45.399> year<00:08:46.399> and

00:08:46

it listen we grow year after year and

00:08:46

it listen we grow year after year and living<00:08:46.839> standards<00:08:47.320> fa<00:08:48.320> and<00:08:48.640> it's<00:08:48.760> not<00:08:48.920> going

00:08:49

living standards fa and it's not going

living standards fa and it's not going to<00:08:49.200> work<00:08:49.480> and<00:08:50.399> growth<00:08:50.720> is<00:08:50.920> great<00:08:51.200> but<00:08:51.320> I<00:08:51.399> think

00:08:51

to work and growth is great but I think

00:08:51

to work and growth is great but I think it<00:08:51.920> it<00:08:52.000> has<00:08:52.160> become<00:08:52.519> basically<00:08:53.519> a<00:08:53.680> mantra

00:08:54

it it has become basically a mantra

00:08:54

it it has become basically a mantra basically<00:08:54.959> a<00:08:55.160> prayer<00:08:55.680> of<00:08:55.800> our<00:08:55.959> intellectual

00:08:56

basically a prayer of our intellectual

00:08:56

basically a prayer of our intellectual classes<00:08:57.040> which<00:08:57.160> is<00:08:57.399> don't<00:08:57.600> worry<00:08:57.920> about

00:08:58

classes which is don't worry about

00:08:58

classes which is don't worry about anything<00:08:58.680> else<00:08:59.600> just<00:08:59.880> grow<00:09:00.519> just<00:09:00.760> grow<00:09:01.360> and<00:09:01.480> I

00:09:01

anything else just grow just grow and I

00:09:01

anything else just grow just grow and I think<00:09:01.720> it<00:09:01.880> it's<00:09:02.040> basically<00:09:02.360> reached<00:09:02.600> the

00:09:02

think it it's basically reached the

00:09:02

think it it's basically reached the point<00:09:02.920> where<00:09:03.079> growth<00:09:03.399> has<00:09:03.560> become

00:09:03

point where growth has become

00:09:03

point where growth has become essentially<00:09:04.240> a<00:09:04.399> code<00:09:04.720> word<00:09:05.560> from<00:09:05.760> the<00:09:05.920> very
