As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

The assessment found dozens of mega-leaks, each having the same global heating impact as a coal-fired power station. Continue reading...
