Paul Krugman

While price controls might seem like a good way to make goods more affordable in the short term, they often lead to shortages and reduced quality because they distort the natural functioning of the market.

I believe that a focus on inclusive wealth creation is essential. It is not antithetical to leftist goals; on the contrary, it can fund public investments and social programs, reduce inequality, and make leftist agendas more palatable to the broader public.

Taxing unrealized gains is essential to address income inequality and ensure that the wealthiest individuals pay their fair share. Without such measures, we risk creating an even more unequal society where economic power is concentrated in the hands of a few.

I believe that as AI continues to displace jobs, a guaranteed basic income could serve as a necessary safety net, providing individuals with essential financial security and helping to maintain economic stability.

I believe entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax proportionally based on their residence history. This approach is fair and accounts for the public resources and infrastructure they benefited from while building their companies. It also ensures that regions contributing to their success are adequately compensated.
