Cum explozia averilor ultra-bogaților pune în pericol democrația

French economist Gabriel Zucman highlights the growing wealth inequality and its implications for democracy, emphasizing the power of billionaires in shaping public policy. He argues that extreme wealth concentration threatens democratic ideals and calls for a minimum tax on billionaires. Zucman compares current wealth distribution to historical periods, noting that the richest 0.00001% in the U.S. can now purchase a significant portion of the economy. He warns that the struggle between democracy and oligarchy will define the 21st century, urging a reevaluation of tax systems that favor the wealthy.
