The wealth tax myth & Britain’s dangerous Rejoin trap
About this episode
Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau discuss the misconceptions surrounding wealth taxes and the potential economic consequences for the UK if it rejoins the EU.
In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk dominant economic orthodoxies surrounding wealth taxes as a quick-fix silver bullet for inequality, expose how central bank policies and globalisation are stripping nation-states of their democratic sovereignty, and reveal the grim economic stagnation, debt, and regulatory traps awaiting the UK should it attempt to rejoin the European Union.
