Negotiations have resumed this week at the UN for a Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation. Corporations and the wealthy must pay their fair share of taxes and not be allowed to burrow into loopholes or stash their money out of view. Countries suffer and citizens suffer. Enough.

Had, as always, a great conversation with Handelsblatt's Astrid Doerner, with Jens Munchrath joining. www.handelsblatt.com/politik/inte...

Thank you to Kathrin Werner and David Böcking of @spiegel.de for the great interview. And with translation software assistance: Vielen Dank an Kathrin Werner und David Böcking von @spiegel.de für das tolle Interview. www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/s...

Myth: Taxing the wealthy is impossible. Fact: That's already happening. At the #TooMuchFinance event in London our co-chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social pointed to the examples of Colombia, France, & California. Org: @taxjustice.net @lseinequalities.bsky.social...

Henry George argued that the most efficient tax is a tax on land. Going beyond his analysis, Tomohiro Hirano and @josephestiglitz.bsky.social suggest that financial liberalisation and loose monetary policy can stimulate land speculation instead of productive investment. doi.org/10.1093/oxre...

My latest piece for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social

A new blog, with Karla Hoff and Allison Demeritt, developed from our talk at The Agency Summit: Expanding Opportunities to Act, Choose, and Thrive at NYU, @theagencyfund.bsky.social. It delves into topics from our forthcoming book, The Other Invisible Hand. theagencyfund.substack.com/p/the-other-...

If you are in Tokyo on January 15 and have the time, I'd love to see you at the @ununiversity.bsky.social public lecture. Registration link is below.

I wrote an essay with Maxim Ventura-Bolet for The Digitalist Papers, Vol. 2 on AI and information. www.digitalistpapers.com/vol2/stiglit...

Fellow economists @jayatighosh.bsky.social @thomaspiketty.bsky.social @stephaniekelton.bsky.social @kateraworth.bsky.social, and many others, including me, call for a halt to Sri Lank debt repayments after Cyclone Ditwah www.theguardian.com/business/202...

US Industrial policy underwent a revival under Biden. What have the effects been? @bilgeerten.bsky.social, @josephestiglitz.bsky.social , and I have a new @brookings.edu paper on employment effects of the CHIPS Act. We sat with @markmuro1.bsky.social to discuss. www.brookings.edu/articles/has...

New EQUALS episode is out! Thomas Piketty explains why we urgently need the International Panel on Inequality proposed by @josephestiglitz.bsky.social and supported by South Africa, Spain, Brazil and Norway. Tune in: pod.fo/e/3679cc

⚠️The top 0.001% - less than 60,000 multi-millionaires - owns three times more wealth than the entire bottom half of humanity combined. Explore more findings in this third edition of the World Inequality report 👇 wir2026.wid.world

A must-read for anyone who cares about inequality, economies, or the state of the world. The 2026 World Inequality Report from World Inequality Lab.

💡Extreme wealth concentration was created by policy choices. @jayatighosh.bsky.social explained the #g20 action roadmap to reverse it, in @projectsyndicate.bsky.social: ✅ Monitor inequality like climate change ✅ Close tax loopholes for multinationals & the super-rich. 👇 shorturl.at/YsyCj

So pleased @theguardian.com's editorial board agrees with our expert committee that it makes a lot of sense to establish an International Panel on Inequality. We are in an inequality emergency, and there are ways to lessen it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For anyone interested in reading our first-ever report to the G20 on inequality, you may find it at ipdcolumbia.org/event/landma...

Thank you, @madhupai.bsky.social for your post about The Conversation. Readers can find the report here: ipdcolumbia.org/event/landma...

Thank you for posting this, @columbiaigp.bsky.social. Another link to the report is: ipdcolumbia.org/event/landma...

Europe must overcome its fear of exercising power if it is to withstand the clear, present, and deadly threat emanating from Moscow, say @josephestiglitz.bsky.social and @andrewkosenko.bsky.social. Now, exercising power means financing Ukraine with Russia's frozen assets. bit.ly/48j4b1Z

Durch den Rückzug der USA von der Weltbühne unter Donald Trump kann China die entstandene Lücke nutzen. Die Chinesen hätten das Gefühl, dass Trump „ihnen ein riesiges Geschenk macht“, sagt mir Nobelpreisträger @josephestiglitz.bsky.social. Meine Analyse für @table.media table.media/china/thema-...

Had a great time, as always, talking with @deanbaker13.bsky.social. This time for his podcast about my recent book, The Road to Freedom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5c...

President Ramaphosa of South Africa, @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social of Brazil and Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain voice their support for the global inequality report by @josephestiglitz.bsky.social and a team of international experts for @financialtimes.com Read here: www.ft.com/content/9cc0...

Thank you Florian Weber of @fr-zeitung.bsky.social for this interview. Nice talking with you. www.fr.de/politik/stig...

Had a great interview with @andreaslandwehr.bsky.social of @faznet.bsky.social about the G20 Inequality Report and the new order of things. www.faz.net/pro/weltwirt...

I am delighted to read the opinion piece in the @financialtimes.com by President Ramaphosa of South Africa, @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social of Brazil and Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain, supporting an International Panel on Inequality www.ft.com/content/9cc0...

Another statistic from our expert committee report on inequality for the G20 Leaders' Summit: The richest 1% have seen their average wealth increase by $1.3 million USD since 2000, while people in the poorest half of humanity saw their wealth increase by an average of $585 over the same period

So pleased that our paper is out in @oxrepjournal.bsky.social. With Tomohiro Hirano academic.oup.com/oxrep/advanc...

Yes, thank you @thomaspiketty.bsky.social for signing on to this urgent call for an International Panel on Inequality

It's clear this idea has wide support. An objective International Panel on Inequality with experts from around the world to advise governments, examine current inequality data and look for areas that need more research. Similar to the IPCC. The time is now. apnews.com/article/glob...

Thank you to ABC Radio National in Australia for a very thoughtful interview. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

It was a great discussion.

Thank you @bookblasts.bsky.social for featuring my book, The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society www.penguin.co.uk/books/461399...

As @icrict.bsky.social says in its statement on the UN negotiations for a Framework Convention on Int. Tax Cooperation, "In a world in which growing inequality has become a major problem, good tax systems must contribute to reducing inequalities both within and between countries." shorturl.at/qWan4

Many thanks to @npr.org's All Things Considered for talking to me about inequality. When .41 cents of every $1 of new wealth has gone to the richest 1% since 2000 while the bottom half of humanity received just .1 cent of every $1, you know there's a problem www.npr.org/2025/11/09/n...

A 25% global minimum tax is crucial for leveling the playing field. As are the other items listed by @icrict.bsky.social.

👀Only 1 day to the start of #UNTaxConvention negotiations in Nairobi! Why does this matter? “The current US administration is going to be in office for 3 more years. The world has to get together and have G -1 multilateralism" — @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, #ICRICT Co-Chair. #TaxThePower 🎥 Here:

The most dangerous co-morbidity is inequality. Thanks to the Mail & Guardian for covering this report, two years in the making. @unaids.org mg.co.za/health/2025-...

Please watch if you have time.

Global Council Co-Chair @josephestiglitz.bsky.social stressed that tackling inequality, within and between countries, is vital to public health. Addressing the debt crisis is urgent and possible. Universal Health Care is essential, especially for pandemic preparedness. #G20
