Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth:
That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

"Tax justice cannot be separated from broader reforms of the global economy" — ICRICT Co-Chair @Jayati1609 at #WIC2026 in Paris 🇫🇷
Building a more equitable economic system requires sovereign debt restructuring, stronger financial safety & fair taxation, she said.

"We need to establish a new principle: extreme wealth must come with unavoidable obligations to society. That is the idea behind an unavoidable minimum tax on the super-rich." 💬 @gabriel_zucman

According to Emmanuel Saez, Director of the @StoneCenter at @UCBerkeley, today's tax systems often fail to effectively tax the very richest.
A net wealth tax could help ensure that billionaire wealth contributes to public finances rather than remaining largely untaxed.

Sarah Perret (@OECDtax) highlighted growing international interest in shifting more of the tax burden onto wealth.
She warned that AI and population ageing may put downward pressure on labour taxes, making the taxation of capital increasingly important in funding public services

The technonationalist project has energy. The egalitarian camp doesn't — yet.
@PikettyWIL at #WIC2026: the challenge isn't just political, it's narrative. Progressives must offer a future that feels attainable.

We envision a new institution, the Global Justice Fund to finance this sustainable convergence path. The fund would raise revenue via global wealth and income taxes to be used for climate investments, expansion of health and education, and building up a World Sovereign Fund.
The Global Justice Fund would average 10.3% of world GDP annually between 2030 and 2060 — compared with less than 0.4% currently allocated to development aid and international organizations.

New on inequalitylab.world: Taxing Wealth & Enrichment: Lessons from 1945 French National Solidarity Levy, by P Brassac
Bottom line: French 1945 ISN was less ambitious than German 1952 Lastenausgleich, but confirms that capital levies can play a major role to face new challenges

This is the result of more than two years of research of 45 direct contributors and in continuation of many international initiatives and a much longer research tradition on inequality and the climate crisis.

The current international order is plutocratic. In the IMF, rich countries have four times more voting rights than their population share, while poor countries have four times less. It is essential to move away from this plutocratic system to a new democratic order with a one-person one-vote order.

The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us.
We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability.
What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries?
The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport.
