What if we started taxing the accumulated wealth of billionaires?
Alex Hemingway, Economist and Public Finance Policy Analyst at the
Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, joins Team Advantage to
discuss his recent piece, A wealth tax on the
super rich is within reach. How might we tax wealth, and
what do the proposals to do so look like? What are the effects of
massive wealth inequality in our society? How would we enforce
a wealth tax? What other measures can be taken to address the
growing inequality we face?
