Wonderful news from France! The National Assembly has voted to advance a billionaire's tax—116 in favor, 39 against.

The tax enjoys huge public support, with 75% of the French backing it.

Similar levels of support are seen in polls across other countries, including the U.S.

Despite a slight decline since 2016, Chile's wealth inequality remains very high. Macroeconomic shifts, housing and pension policies are central to wealth dynamics.
