Faut-il taxer les riches ? (spoiler : OUI !) Interview de #GaryStevenson et #MarleneEngelhorn
"Il faut extraire du #capitalisme le #féodalisme dont il est issu". Il n'est pas nécessairement question de sortir du capitalisme, l'interview reste très intéressante notamment sur les frictions entre #justicesociale et de la nécessité de la #démocratie, avec ce que ça implique de pondération entre résultat et méthode pour l'atteindre.

"I think the Green Party in Britain has adopted your wealth tax policy. But the centre-left Labour Party is not going to do that, are they."
#GuyonEspiner, 2025
I don't want to pick on Guyon, but this is a classic example of news media defining 'centre-left' as 'whatever the largest liberal party says at any given time'. You'd think the NZ Labour of the 1980s would have showed them that's not a meaningful way to define it.

British economist and former Citi trader Gary Stevenson warns that Australia is losing its "fair go" ethos due to a worsening housing crisis and widening wealth gap. During an Australian speaking tour, he told the ABC that governments worldwide are failing to seriously tackle inequality. Stevenson advocates for higher wages, improved housing affordability, and tax reforms that take more from the wealthy to boost living standards for low and middle-income households. He warns that without action, Australia will face the same decline in public services and rise in poverty seen in the UK and Europe. Despite his large YouTube following, Political leaders, trapped in "bubbles," are resistant to changing the economic status quo.

@FractalTeapot you ever read the Red Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson? You sound like you would get along with the biological economists (something like that) that were very interested in breaking the cost of everything down to the smallest increment.
I'd propose that it would be far more feasible just to have a wealth asset tax similar to what Gary Stevenson proposes.
