Happy tax day to all those who celebrate!

Couldn’t be more excited to be in New York on this day to discuss the global fight to tax the super rich with Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @josephestiglitz.bsky.social

It was a wonderful event at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social today with an enthusiastic and packed house to hear @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, @mayor.nyc.gov and I talk about the absolute necessity for global societies to tax the ultra rich. It's not radical to think they should pay their fair share too

What can we learn from Viktor Orban’s defeat?

How are states and cities holding big corporations accountable?

And why the heck is Trump attacking the Pope?

We break it all down on this week’s Coffee Klatch.

Another international criminal. He and his gang must be held accountable publicly, before an international court.
