Capital and Wealth Taxation (Piketty)

Capital and wealth taxation in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty published by National Tax Journal (6/2016).

In this article, I present some of the findings of my book Capital in the 21st Century.
In particular, I clarify the role played by r > g in my analysis of wealth inequality. I
also discuss some of the implications for optimal taxation, and the relation between
capital-income ratios and capital shares.
