That's terrorist talk!!! #TaxingTheRich? #WealthTax? #BuyingLess? Treasonous! <sarc>
Interesting theory... It doesn't call for #Degrowth, but it does call for not buying as much stuff and #TaxingTheRich!
‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: academics set out sweeping vision for planetary survival
Global report provides an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism and economic tensions
Jonathan Watts
Thu 4 Jun 2026
Excerpt: "[The plan] offers a set of bold policy proposals, including hefty #WealthTaxes on #billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors like industry and #mining to education and health.
[...]
"This 'plan for equality and prosperity within planetary boundaries' is the product of 45 authors based on databases compiled by more than 200 researchers from the world.
"At its core is the concept of sufficiency – the idea that people can enjoy a prosperous, healthy life without constantly striving to consume or accumulate more #MaterialPossessions that degrade the #NaturalWorld on which all life depends.
"To achieve this, the authors envisage three steps: more than halving average working time from 2,100 hours a year to 1,000 hours, roughly equivalent to a two-and-a-half-day working week; encouraging people to #EatLessRedMeat, which is the main driver of deforestation and ecological destruction; and refocusing the economy toward #LowConsumption activities by more than doubling #Education spending to €8,400 euros (£7,250) a person and #healthcare spending to 14,400 euros.
"Piketty said: 'One extra euro of GDP in education and health has three to four times less material footprint and energy consumption than one extra euro of GDP in the manufacturing sector. So that’s why the sectoral shifts are hugely important.' "

Well I certainly didn't have #BrianEno coming out in support of #TaxingTheRich on my bingo card but he's not wrong and his timing is perfect.
Brian Eno perfectly explains selfishness of the super rich
earthbeingx#Ecotricity founder, #DaleVince, says:
"Here's a worthwhile list to be on. The top 100 #taxpayers in Britain (I'm 81 apparently). #Taxes built our #economy, they pay for #education, #transport, #health and so much more."

Ian Stuart@nuncio @muiren I wish this was true but there doesn’t seem to be enough of a political appetite for #taxingTheRich at the moment…
@vincent @npr People care. I care about the #nationalDebt . But I also think the only feasible way to tackle the #USnationalDebt will necessarily involve #taxingTheRich and #taxingOligarchs significantly more than we do now. Mind you GRADUALLY cutting costs (SLOWLY as to not kill the economy) may be needed too. #taxTheRich #taxOligarchs #USdeficit
@[email protected] @rbreich Other countries have to pay off their government debts why shouldn’t we? #RobertReich also supports #taxingTheRich significantly more (and other progressive policies) so it’s not as if paying down the national debt is necessarily contributing to rising inequality (and ultimately the less interest the US government has to pay the better).
Yep, ultimately our currency is a purely social construct but I don’t think we will be abandoning it anytime too soon
