Ep. 03 - Catch me if you Can: Taxing Fairly

The impact of tax policies is complex, but how do taxes influence perceptions of the very rich in society? How do the highest earners respond to tax policies? By analysing UK tax records and the way the wealthy and top earners in the UK respond to tax policies, Professor Gerry Simpson sits down with Dr Andy Summers in this episode of Ratio to provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment of recent tax policies. By exploring the relationship between tax and wealth inequality, Dr Summers demystifies some of the characteristics of the richest members of society. In doing so, this episode explores the possibilities and limitations of utilising tax to rectify certain inequalities.

This episode was produced by Mohid Malik.

Speakers: Gerry Simpson and Andy Summers
