## Resource

UK academics are pushing for a bold new wealth tax—targeting just the super-rich—with a 2% levy on households holding over £100 million, potentially raising £10 billion annually while affecting fewer than 1,000 families. Backed by top economists, this focused approach aims to fix inequality, fund public services, and avoid the messy loopholes of past wealth taxes—without alienating the public or creating administrative chaos.
