OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The billionaire tax: a (modest) proposal for the 21st century
Progressive taxation is a key pillar of democratic societies. But thanks to new research, there is now clear evidence that contemporary tax systems, instead of being progressive, do not effectively tax the wealthiest individuals.
This lecture will detail a proposal for a coordinated minimum tax ensuring that dollar billionaires pay at least 2% of their wealth in taxes each year. The lecture will discuss the feasibility of such a new form of international coordination, and the potential obstacles and benefits of such a measure.
