AI will widen the wealth gap even further so we must tax those behind the boom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I WROTE a piece for the Scottish Socialist Voice recently making the case for a wealth tax. Instead of watching billionaires become trillionaires, I argued that we need to get them to pay more tax.
