This episode explores the intergenerational fairness case for a wealth tax with discussion between IF co-founders Angus Hanton and Liz Emerson and the report author, Alec Haglund.
It discusses how a moderate wealth tax would affect just 1% of the UK population while raising at least £18 billion a year which could be used to lower younger people's tax rates or even invest in free higher education.
