Could capping top incomes tackle rising inequality more effectively than conventional approaches?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e In this engaging book, leading analyst Sam Pizzigati details how egalitarians worldwide are demonstrating that a \u0026ldquo;maximum wage\u0026rdquo; could be both economically viable and politically practical. He shows how, building on local initiatives, governments could use their tax systems to enforce fair income ratios across the board.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e The ultimate goal? That ought to be, Pizzigati argues, a world without a super rich. He explains why we need to create that world -- and how we could speed its creation. |
