New paper published @ajpseditor.bsky.social

Por fim, na minha opinião, o que torna essencial taxar os super ricos não é a receita gerada - é uma questão de economia política.

É escolher não aceitar que um pequeno grupo de pessoas afortunadas tenha influência completamente desmedida na forma como organizamos a sociedade.

No entanto, Portugal pode decidir unilateralmente taxar, por exemplo, as fortunas acima de 100M€ - em vez de apenas os bilionários.

Como mostra o @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, há várias formas de desenhar tal imposto de forma eficaz, com muito maior receita gerada: gabriel-zucman.eu/files/report...

100% a favor de taxar anualmente 2% das fortunas dos bilionários.

Mas para um país como Portugal há um problema: só temos 1 a 9 bilionários (depende da fonte).

Ainda assim, só os 2% sobre a maior fortuna Portuguesa (Fernanda Amorim: ~5,000,000,000€) são 100M€ por ano.

Inside the Walmart of Finland Finland's largest private sector employer is a consumer cooperative.

"Here we have a hyper-efficient retail operation, run with cutting-edge management and logistics, dominating half the grocery market of a wealthy country, without minting a single billionaire in the process. It is not just competitive with capitalist business; it is more successful."
