Fiscal Aspects in the Theory of Income and Capital Inequality in the Work of T. Piketty

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the fiscal implications of Thomas Piketty's economic theory, focusing on his arguments regarding wealth inequality and capital accumulation. It examines his proposals for progressive taxation, wealth redistribution, and global tax coordination, assessing their feasibility and potential impact on economic growth, public finance, and social equity. By critically evaluating these fiscal measures, the article explores whether Piketty’s recommendations can serve as viable solutions for reducing inequality while maintaining economic efficiency.
