What are Piketty's views on taxing wealth?
My research strongly supports the implementation of progressive wealth and inheritance taxes. Given the observed tendency for 'r > g' to drive wealth concentration, a global and progressive tax on capital, alongside robust inheritance taxes, could serve as a crucial tool for mitigating extreme inequality. Such measures aim to ensure that wealth accumulation is more broadly shared and to finance public goods and services, fostering a more equitable society.
