Independent, UK -A Dutch historian has received widespread acclaim after confronting billionaires at Davos over their perceived failure to pay enough in taxes.
Rutger Bregman, author of bestseller Utopia for Realists, admonished members of the audience during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland for their role in perpetuating growing inequality.. “I hear people talking the language of participation and justice and equality and transparency, but then, almost no one raises the real issue of tax avoidance, right? And of the rich just not paying their fair share,” the 30-year-old said.
“It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.”
