Suppression of the wealth tax: an historical error

Let it be said at once: the suppression of the wealth tax (Impôt sur la Fortune or ISF) constitutes a serious moral, economic and historical mistake. This decision reveals a profound misunderstanding of the challenges to inequality posed by globalisation. Let’s go back for a moment. During the first globalisation period between 1870 and 1914, a strong international movement gradually took shape which sought to promote a new type of redistribution and taxation. Based on a progressive...

Momento Fronteiras – Thomas Piketty

Para reduzir a desigualdade, devemos olhar mais para a política do que para a própria economia. Esta é uma das diversas conclusões do economista francês Thomas Piketty, que propôs, em sua conferência no Fronteiras, um estudo conjunto entre países como solução para a redução da desigualdade. Ou diminuímos a desigualdade pela união ou precisaremos de episódios dramáticos para fazê-lo, como guerras e revoluções. O problema da tributação, o nacionalismo, o impacto da segregação social na...

Re-thinking the capital code

Partager cet article What should we think of the reform of the Labour Code defended by the government? The key measure, and also the one which is most highly criticized, consists in capping the compensation payments for unfair dismissal at one month’s salary per annum per year of seniority (and half a month for each year worked beyond 10 years). In other words, an employer can freely dismiss an employee who has spent over 10 years in the firm, without having to establish the...

The CICE comedy

Yet another deferral! The government of Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe had already announced the postponement of the deduction of income tax at source till 2019 for totally opportunist reasons. The risk is that this elementary reform in tax modernisation, awaited in France for decades, may finally never see the light of day, even though the scheme was all ready to come into operation in January 2018. The government has now announced the postponement until 2019 of the replacement...
