Have you read the book? Is there a proposed solution? Is the solution free of all problems?

The solution proposed in one of the articles is to reinstate the 80% tax bracket on the ultra rich and tax inheritance, among other things. Taxes on money making money. It sounds much like the old arguments from the left but perhaps there is more to it.

It is mostly about the upper levels of income which the average individual, even those who feel they are rather successful, will never see.

Currently, I believe the figure is that 140 odd corporations own 80% of the worlds wealth and resources. Most of these firms are interconnected.

Of course you can bet that governments will mostly ignore it or tax the population but still leave the loopholes for the ultra rich as they always have.
