What if the final blow for Emmanuel Macron came from the Massachusetts State senator and not from the yellow vests ? Elizabeth Warren, Harvard University law professor, not really an adept of Chavism or urban guerrilla warfare, a declared candidate in the Democratic primaries in 2020, has just made public what will doubtless be one of the key points in the coming campaign, namely the creation for the first time in the United States of a genuine federal progressive wealth tax.

O capitalismo diminui ou reforça a desigualdade social? A taxa anual de retorno sobre capital, que significa os lucros ou os juros que você ganha ao investir o seu dinheiro, é maior do que a taxa de crescimento da economia mundial. Ao seja, pessoas que já possuem dinheiro tendem a acumular riquezas em uma velocidade X, enquanto a população trabalhadora que depende do crescimento da economia do seu país, numa velocidade Y. A solução para esse problema seria um imposto global sobre riqueza....

One of the ideas raised by the yellow vests is the possibility of a referendum on the cancellation of the public debt. For some, this type of proposal, already heard in Italy, demonstrates the extent of the ‘populist’ danger: how can one possibly imagine not repaying a debt?

There are...

The crisis of the ‘yellow vests’ raises a key issue both in France and in Europe, namely that of fiscal justice. Since his election, Emmanuel Macron has spent considerable time in explaining to the country that the « premiers de cordée », i.e. the leading fortunes and industrialists, should be treated with care; the top priority was to grant tax cuts to the wealthiest, and as a start, the wealth tax abolished. All this was done at top speed, in a spirit of invincibility and without...
