‘Finally, not just why but crucially how to tax the super-rich’ GARY STEVENSON
‘Read it, share it and let’s get on with it’ RUTGER BREGMAN
The solution to inequality that is at the vanguard of the new political debate.
While ordinary citizens pay around half of their income in tax, billionaires pay often close to zero income tax – because they earn almost all their income through companies. The solution is the 2% “Zucman tax”: a minimum tax on the ultra-rich themselves, advocated by economist and global expert on the taxation of wealth Gabriel Zucman. We need to tax billionaires, and this game-changing book shows us why now is the moment.

This is economics at its most useful. Read it, share it, and let's get on with it
If you want to understand why you are getting poorer, and, crucially, how to fix it, you have to read Gabriel Zucman. Finally - not just why, but crucially HOW to tax the super-rich
It's a taxing moment to be talking about taxing the billionaires. They are fighting back with their money, power and lies. This is a book that, soberly, and yet with passion and care, exposes those and builds the case that the world needs and can get them to pay their fair share
