Piketty’s “capital et idéologie” – Could it inform a tax reform in post-covid-19 Brazil by Celia Lessa Kerstenetzky and Fabio Domingues Walternberg publicado por CEBRAP (12/2020).
In the light of Piketty’s Capital et idéologie, this article reflects on
Brazil’s regressive tax structure and the crises induced by the Covid-19 pandemic. We present programmatic aspects of the book, anticipating how its tax justice proposals would be received in the Brazilian public debate. We question whether the current crises provide an opportunity for discussing structural changes like the reversal of the Brazilian tax structure.
