197. The Billionaire Tax Debate (Gabriel Zucman)
About this episode
The episode discusses the fairness of taxing the super rich and the implications of wealth disparity in capitalism with economist Gabriel Zucman.
Can the super rich ever be fairly taxed, or are there too many functioning tax havens? Can capitalism survive the ever growing disparity between the top 1% and the rest? Should billionaires exist at all? Rory and Alastair are joined by economist Gabriel Zucman to answer all this and more. __________ Go deeper into the world of The Rest Is Politics by signing up for our free newsletter HERE, featuring exclusive interviews, analysis and weekend reads from Alastair and Rory.
