It drives poverty, climate breakdown, undermines democracy, and weakens governments’ ability to tackle the crises we face.

  • Set an ‘extreme wealth line’ of £10 million and orient policy to redistribute wealth above this threshold
  • Advocate wealth taxes internationally through the UN Tax Convention.
