Tax the rich

Imagine your neighbor dents your car. Who is responsible for paying for the damage, you or him? Of course: always the one who caused the damage!

How can it be that we live by this logic everywhere, except when it comes to the foundation of our survival?

The richest ten percent of humanity not only benefit the most from our economic system, but they are also responsible for over half of global CO2 emissions. It's time to pay for the damage and address the existing social injustice. The proposals by Jørgen Randers and Till Kellerhoff are simple: the (re)introduction of a wealth tax, a more consistent inheritance tax, and a global tax on corporations. This isn't about inheriting grandma's small house in the Black Forest. It's about millionaires who wouldn't feel it if they paid a few percent more in taxes for the most important project of this era: saving our life-support systems. A provocative manifesto that speaks overdue truths.
