Book review: We need to tax billionaires, by Gabriel Zucman

This was the year that we saw the world’s first trillionaire, a state of imbalance so absurd that it really ought to rewrite how we talk about inequality. I don’t see any sign of that yet, but this book might have one practical and popular answer: tax billionaires.
