Wealth taxes

The hosts wade into the murky waters of wealth taxation, examining why the seemingly simple idea of taxing the ultra-wealthy becomes extraordinarily complicated in practice. They explore the mechanics of different tax systems, the philosophical questions around fairness and inequality, and alternative approaches like Georgism that might reshape how we think about taxation entirely.
