Who wants to be a billionaire? Wealth inequality in Europe

Join Marie and Rasmus for an unfiltered conversation about wealth and financial inequality in Europe. How do billionaires get away with paying almost no tax, while workers are struggling to get by? Why do we accept so much injustice? And what do we do about it?

Don’t know your monetary policy from your macroeconomics? Don’t panic. We’ve imposed a jargon tax to keep the conversation understandable.

Marie and Rasmus debunk the tax myths they hear every day - and talk about their solutions to make society fairer for all. "If we don't solve inequality, we won't solve other issues."

People in Europe work hard to earn a living and to provide for their families. But ultra-rich tech bros owning digital giants are just raking in record breaking profits, without contributing to society - all with the support from US President Donald Trump. It is time to stand up to them and make them pay (a Digital Services Tax).
