French economist Gabriel Zucman, interviewed by Alter éco, explains why and how the super-rich should be taxed more and better.

Despite being (very) rich, conscientious millionaires and billionaires are calling for much higher wealth taxes to combat the rising inequality they see as a threat to democracy.

While European companies, trade unions, NGOs, politicians and economists would like to see increased taxation of the extremely rich, governments are more reluctant.

In Europe, the very wealthy are taxed less than other taxpayers. Implementing a European wealth tax would remedy this tax injustice.
