Fellow G20 Extraordinary Committee member on inequality, and co-chair of @icrict.bsky.social, @jayatighosh.bsky.social on the need for countries to work together.

Another fact from our new G20 Report on Inequality, commissioned by President Ramaphosa: One in four people globally (2.3 billion) face moderate or severe food insecurity, meaning they have to regularly skip meals, which is up by 335 million since 2019. g20.org/wp-content/u...

Der neue G20 Report von @josephestiglitz.bsky.social et al. warnt vor einem #Ungleichheits-Notstand. Gut ausgestaltete #Steuersysteme könnten die Verteilung von Einkommen und Vermögen gerechter machen. Doch in Österreich wird Einkommen aus Arbeit weiterhin höher besteuert als Millionenvermögen. 1/
