Wealth is buying political power. Today's billionaires "make the robber barons look like petty thieves."
Martin Wolf & @pkrugman.bsky.social dissect modern oligarchy in their @financialtimes.com podcast.
Their highlighted solution?
The tool America invented: progressive taxation.

Myth: Taxing the wealthy is impossible.
Fact: That's already happening.

Our co-chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social will discuss how outsized financial sector becomes a drag on growth and today's challenge of taxing the super-rich at the "Too Much Finance" event, London.

14 - 15 January 2026 In person at London School of Economics, 54 Lincoln's Inn Fields, WC2A 3LJ [Parish Hall; room PAR.1.02] Too much finance Organised by Tax Justice Network, London School of Economics, the International Inequality Institute, the Balanced Economy Project, Finance Innovation Lab and The Manchester School (journal) Event description Research context The ‘too much finance’ (TMF) literature, initiated by Arcand, Berkes and Panizza (2012, 2015) and Cecchetti and Kharroubi (2012) and applied more to lower-income countries by Sahay et al. (2015), and surveyed by Carré and L’oeillet (2018), has found empirical evidence that – in contrast to the old consensus that financial development is an aid to economic growth – an outsized financial sector becomes a drag on growth. The symposium will form the basis for a special issue in the Manchester School. The range of papers will address the following outstanding issues in TMF: the evidential strength of the TMF findings, including in particular the recent econometric critiques of Fajeau (2021), Eberhardt and Cho (2022) and Luintel, Li and Khan (2024); the various different mechanisms that might underlie the basic TMF result; the extension and deepening of the literature as it pertains to inequalities; and the policy implications. Keynote papers will be delivered by Thorsten Beck (EUI, Florence), who contributed to the original consensus in this area and has tracked the more recent arguments; and by Jayati Ghosh (U.Mass, Amherst), whose paper will reflect her leading work on international economic and financial issues as they affect countries at different levels of per capita income.

Would @oecd-ocde.bsky.social Inclusive Framework members agree this week to exempt US multinationals from the global minimum tax?

💡Extreme wealth concentration was created by policy choices.
@jayatighosh.bsky.social explained the #g20 action roadmap to reverse it, in @projectsyndicate.bsky.social:
✅ Monitor inequality like climate change
✅ Close tax loopholes for multinationals & the super-rich.

🚨The rules are rigged. 1% captured 40% of global wealth, while half the world got just 1%.
.@g20org leaders recognize inequality is tearing societies apart, @jayatighosh.bsky.social said to @aljazeera.com.
The solution? An International Panel on Inequality (IPI) to track real progress.

Our co-chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social will have a simple message when she speaks to #g20 leaders tomorrow:
"Wealth inequality has exploded, a few players have exercised inordinate power not only on global economy, but global politics, information, society".
It's time for action!
