The economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth tax

Gabriel Zucman is the most important economist in the world today. And the one billionaires fear most. His wealth tax proposals have passed France's lower chamber of parliament – and will likely be signed into law in the coming years. Here's his advice for how we can tax the super rich more in the UK and other countries.

Zucman's book "We Need to Tax Billionaires" is now available in bookshops, and my book "The Trading Game" is now available in French as "Confessions d'un Trader Repenti".

Enjoy!!
