    Jonathan Brown - "Taken for A Ride" - How can we create an economy for us all?

    In today’s podcast, Shepheard-Walwyn podcast host and editor of the updated "Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury" Jonathan Brown, concludes our discussion of the book sharing key ideas and quotes from the work. This episode is dedicated to Dave Wetzel, former Vice Chair of Transport for London and author of the book’s postscript, who sadly passed away as we went into post-production of the episode. Like Don Riley, Dave was a tireless campaigner for a fairer society and worked hard to improve the lives of Londoners.   If you’re interested in reading the book, please visit https://bit.ly/SW-TFAR-Pod

    Steve Norris - Why is the Treasury the biggest barrier to increasing UK prosperity?

    In today’s podcast in our Taken for a Ride miniseries celebrating the unique work of property entrepreneur Don Riley, we speak with Steve Norris, the former transport secretary who forced the treasury to invest in the extension (and incidentally) got Crossrail approved in 1995. Steve contributed to the book and doesn’t hold back in his criticisms of the Treasury there and he does the same in the interview.   He began in industry and then began a dual career as a politician in the 1970s, eventually serving as an MP in Margaret Thatcher's government. He was transport minister in John Major’s cabinet from 1992-1997. In 1997, he stepped down from politics to return to his business career.  Today he chairs and advises a number of different companies and charities and leads a small but highly skilled team of people specialising in complex property, infrastructure and transportation projects. He also runs a business that builds more affordable homes for people in and around his adopted city, London.   If you’re interested in reading the book, please visit https://bit.ly/SW-TFAR-Pod

    Dave Wetzel - How New Transport Systems Deliver Extraordinary Profits

    Welcome back to the third podcast celebrating the second edition of Don Riley’s Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury. Today we are speaking with Dave Wetzel, a committed socialist and environmental campaigner. Whilst he had diametrically opposed political views to Don, they were friends and campaigned together to change government policy.    Dave was the first vice chair of Transport for London working with Ken Livingstone to spearhead a mesmerising number of improvements to London’s transport, especially buses. In this interview we look at how he and others worked to improve communities through better transport and how we could have much better cities and lower taxes if we focused on the value added by well thought out public transport investments.    If you’re interested in reading the book, please visit https://bit.ly/SW-TFAR-Pod

    How Property Prices Are Actually Created and Who Benefits – What Every Property Owner Needs to Know

    Welcome back to the Shepheard-Walwyn podcast. Today we continue our exploration of the second edition of Don Riley’s classic work Taken for a Ride with a conversation with the legendary Fred Harrison. Fred worked with Don and supported his research into land value uplift and helped Don write the first edition of Taken for a Ride. In this interview he talks about Don’s research and the specific reasons why any landowner needs to understand the impact of public investments on their properties.     If you’re interested in reading the book, please visit https://bit.ly/SW-TFAR-Pod

    Every property owner - and future owner - needs to buy this book. Here's why. A conversation with Phillip J Anderson

    Welcome back to the Shepheard Walwyn Podcast. Today we begin a series to celebrate and explore the work of Don Riley. We have revised and fully updated Don’s classic work, Taken for a Ride – Trains, Taxpayers and the Treasury.  Don was an entrepreneur and landlord in Southwark, London who benefitted massively from a new underground extension, the Jubilee Line Extension in the 1990s. He was able to document through research and through his bank balance just how profitable that public investment was. As a committed entrepreneur he was incensed that he was benefitted from a taxpayer investment. Instead of quietly counting his profits he wrote a book about the corruption that he saw in the economy. The book has been revised by Fred Harrison, the economist who supported Don writing the original book, Dave Wetzel, former Vice Chair of Transport for London and me. We also have a fascinating contribution from Steve Norris, the transport minister who pushed through Treasury approval for what has become the most profitable and impactful public transport investment London has seen since the War. In this interview, I interview Phil Anderson, author of The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking. Phil was friends with Don and spent time understanding his approach to investing and the work he did that you can benefit from in Taken for a Ride. Here are the time stamps.
