55:25Now PlayingShould we tax the wealthy?
It's one of the most popular political slogans today—but is it good economics?
In this episode of the Perspicaz Podcast, we explore one of the most controversial policy debates in modern politics. We discuss whether wealth taxes reduce poverty, the difference between wealth and cash, why entrepreneurs and investors think differently about risk, and whether governments are the most effective institutions for improving society.
Along the way we ask questions about fairness, inequality, luck, philanthropy, capitalism, government spending, and the psychology behind our attitudes towards wealth.
This isn't a conversation about defending billionaires or attacking governments. It's an invitation to think more deeply about one of the defining economic debates of our time.
