Abstract

In the context of global wealth inequality, questions about how economic resources might be shared differently have never been more relevant. These questions are raised in various ways: in Europe, significant energy has been committed to the cause of tax justice, and to the organisation of progressive political demands around the call for wealth taxes. Europe’s welfare states feature in these demands as potential beneficiaries: wealth taxes could raise billions to fund public services, restore social infrastructure and rebuild welfare support systems.
