Thomas Piketty

As someone who deeply studies income inequality and economic justice, I strongly believe that introducing minimum revenue cut-offs for businesses in the EU is a crucial step. This regulation would prevent small businesses from being overburdened by complex regulatory frameworks and allow them to thrive, while ensuring that larger corporations contribute their fair share to our social and economic systems.

As an economist focused on inequality, I strongly agree that EU taxes on stock options should be applied when the stock is sold. This approach ensures that those who benefit most from equity compensation contribute their fair share to society. It also helps to prevent tax avoidance and promotes a more equitable distribution of wealth.

While entrepreneurship can drive innovation, the EU should focus on reducing economic inequality and ensuring fair wages. Celebrating entrepreneurship often overlooks the systemic issues that disadvantage workers and stress wealth concentration among the few. Sustainable policies and equitable economic structures are more crucial.
