We are bombarded with "we've never had it so good" opinion pieces and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar recently warned against fixing the housing crisis too quickly. So it can be hard to understand why many of us feel poorer than ever. The truth is that inequality is not a bug of our economic system, it's a feature.

Rejoining us to talk about inequality, broadening the tax bands, housing costs creating lifestyle chaos and why there are lots of solutions is economist with NERI, Ciaran Nugent. Enjoy. Or at least endure.
