The Architect Of The Billionaire Tax Makes His Case — ft. Gabriel Zucman

Ed Elson is joined by Gabriel Zucman to break down Prop 40, the billionaire tax proposal in California. They discuss why Gabriel thinks it’s the most effective way to tax the ultrawealthy in the state, unpack the various criticisms of the tax, and consider what its influence could be on the rest of the country. Gabriel Zucman is a Professor of economics at the Paris School of Economics, Summer Research Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and founding Director of the International Tax Observatory. He is also the founding director of the PSE Stone center on Global Wealth Dynamics. Gabriel has authored three books, including his most recent work, We Need To Tax Billionaires.
