The manifesto
The manifesto is briefly explained below with a number of substantive videos from various professors. You can also learn more about the manifesto by reading the book “Extreme Wealth Should Be Taxed”.
Manifesto ‘Super-Rich Tax’
The gap between rich and poor is rapidly widening, but we do our thing and leave it at that. As a result, our economies are becoming increasingly unfair and unhealthy.
Due to the super wealth of a few, everyone else in the world has less and less money and fewer opportunities, the world’s economies come to a grinding halt and there is less and less chance that our governments can really solve the environmental and climate problems.
A revolutionary change is needed in the world. We have to tax ‘extreme wealth’. What are we waiting for? See below videos to understand the details.
Inequality – Professor Thomas Piketty
Failing economies – Professor Peter Ricchiuti
Four improvements – Piketty’s WIR
To restore our economies and governments to health, four issues need to be addressed, namely (1) tax progressivity, (2) establish a global financial registry, (3) enable access to educations and well-paying jobs and (4) public debts need to be reduced to enable public investments further in education, environmental protection, health and infrastructure. This is also explained in the video below.
