Garys Economics · The economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth tax. Meeting Gabriel Zucman · 24 May 2026 podcast

So you think democracy is in threat.

You think if we don't tax the very, very rich, this small group of society will amass more and more and more wealth and power, and it will take wealth and power away from more than any people.

I'm going to have to push you for some quick answers on the UK political situation, because I know we're short of time.

Here in the UK, there is a very real possibility that we will get a new prime minister, maybe as soon as in the next couple of months, but if not, quite possibly in the next year and a half.

A new prime minister is going to come in.

The current government is very unpopular.

The new prime minister will have to have

and an answer on what they're going to do with the economy.

We have been pushing very hard for a number of years now that we think the UK government should be more serious about the taxation of the super rich.

If the new prime minister was willing to do something more serious on the top end, is it practically possible?

And would you be willing to support the new prime minister in designing and implementing those taxes such that they work for the UK economy?

And it's not essential.

We don't have to do that.

Quick one, last one.

So while you're here, I really wanna get you, I really wanna get the political classes in the UK to see you and hear you because the argument for the wealth tax and wealth taxes here in the UK is very loud, very popular with the public, but many of the political classes view it as unrealistic and the rest is politics, which is the biggest politics podcast in this country.

Rory Stewart, one of the presenters,

said that pushed back on the idea that there is any he said there is no academic consensus he said where are the academics where are the people with postgraduate degrees where are the professors so what do you say to rory stewart the presenter of the biggest politics podcast in the country about the idea that no academics support this and would you be willing to go on the rest is politics and show them that there are academics who support this yeah i i say to rory stewart that he should uh

And you would be willing to go on the rest of politics and explain that to them?

Of course, I'd be fortunate.

Because, you know, I'd love for you to go on there.
