$6.2 million banana
Manage episode 456023596 series 39787
A world where someone pays $6.2 million for a banana duct-taped to a wall is a world that needs wealth taxes. But when wealth taxes are considered by politicians and governments, unsubstantiated spin and myth making dominates the debate. (If you can call it a debate). We look at the Tax Justice Network's modest wealth tax proposal which could help governments increase their national budgets by 7 percent a year, a potential global revenue of more than 2 trillion US dollars annually. And we discuss what research really says about so-called 'tax flight' by the very wealthy because of tax reforms. Will they really leave in droves?
Featuring:
Mark Bou Mansour, Tax Justice Network
Alison Schultz, Tax Justice Network
Victoria Gronwald of the London School of Economics. She's co-author of their report, Tax Flight. Britain's wealthiest and their attachment to place.
Various AI-voiced excerpts from interviews with High Net Worth Individuals from the LSE report.
Hosted and produced by Naomi Fowler, Tax Justice Network
