Global minimum taxation and the international solution for taxation of the digital economy: keynote by Olaf Scholz

Just and resilient societies depend on an adequate public funding base to provide important public goods, such as health care and education. The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has put a stark spotlight on this: Strong public health systems are an important pre-requisite for successfully dealing with the medical consequences of the pandemic, and fiscal stimulus packages will play an important role in stabilising economies.

How can progressive wealth taxes contribute to more equitable societies?
