We Need to Tax Billionaires

We Need to Tax Billionaires, Volume 1, is a critical examination of global wealth disparity within the business and economics category. Author Gabriel Zucman explores the systemic gap where ordinary citizens pay significant income taxes while the ultra-rich often pay nearly zero. This disparity exists because billionaires primarily earn their wealth through corporate entities rather than direct income.

As part of the series We Need to Tax Billionaires: "The most important economist in the world today", this book proposes a 2% minimum tax on the wealthiest individuals. Zucman provides a detailed framework for this tax to address inequality and reshape the current political debate. The text serves as a comprehensive guide to implementing a global wealth tax to ensure a fairer economic system.
