What if taxing the super-rich could lower the cost of your groceries? Or fund entire climate adaptation projects? Hosts Carl Schlyter and Joycelyn Longdon sit down with Chenai Mugumba, Executive Director of the Tax Justice Network Africa, to explore why taxes matter—and how it could reshape our everyday lives.
They explore how taxing the super-rich can help reduce inequality by redistributing wealth and power. From funding healthcare and education to improving housing and tackling climate challenges, they break down where the money is and how it could shift the system.
While the Super-Rich meet at the 2025 World Economic Forum, this episode asks: Could taxing the super-rich be the key to a fairer, greener future?
