Why The Rich Get Richer | Faiza Shaheen | Zack Polanski

February 18
40 mins

Episode Description

How can we reimagine wealth taxes so that they’re less a politics of envy and more about just not paying wealthy people to become more wealthy? Why do we accept student loans as a tax on graduates whilst paying huge amounts of interest to asset holders? Where does tax avoidance, the far right and inequality intersect?


Zack Polanski speaks to Faiza Shaheen, economist and director of Tax Justice UK.
