Two points missing in recent Wealth Tax debates: - If we measure total taxes as a % of wealth (not income), the system is highly regressive - The wealthiest pay 3%-4% of their wealth annually in taxes. Wealth Tax shouldn't be seen as starting from zero (see US data from @gabrielzucman.bsky.social)

Great post by @brankomilan.bsky.social on Compositional vs. Income Ineq, highlighting @marcoranaldi.bsky.social's role in developing this novel concept. Regarding the high CI in the Nordics, @elisapalagi.bsky.social & I in our BEJEAP paper (doi.org/10.1515/beje...) have another interpretation..(1/n)

Just read @brankomilan.bsky.social's latest on income & compositional inequality. One more point: if AI pushes up the capital share by replacing jobs across skill levels, reducing compositional inequality can help capital complement labor—and prevent income inequality from rising👇
