La desigualdad desbocada que padecemos tiene un claro motor: un sistema fiscal injusto. Por primera vez en más de un siglo, a los multimillonarios estadounidenses se les aplican hoy tasas impositivas más bajas que a ningún otro grupo social. Mientras tanto, a la clase media se le pide un esfuerzo contributivo mayor. Emmanuel Saez y Gabriel Zucman, dos economistas que han revolucionado el estudio de la desigualdad, analizan las decisiones (y los pecados de indecisión) que han llevado a semejante triunfo de la injusticia fiscal. Combinando el análisis histórico y las aportaciones económicas más punteras con una prosa amena y sin jerga, Saez y Zucman muestran cómo el fin de la progresividad de los impuestos termina por sacudir los cimientos de la democracia.
Estados Unidos, que estuvo a la vanguardia de la lucha por la justicia fiscal, ha dado la espalda a su propia tradición. Si queremos evitar que Europa caiga en una deriva injusta y oligárquica como la que ha llevado a Donald Trump al poder, es urgente actuar. Aunque el deterioro de la escalada fiscal en un contexto de aumento de las desigualdades ha sido especialmente exacerbado en ese lado del Atlántico, no es en absoluto específico de Estados Unidos. La injusticia fiscal, uno de los grandes fracasos políticos de nuestro tiempo, es un fenómeno global que exige soluciones integrales.
«Sin impuestos no hay cooperación, ni prosperidad ni destino común; no hay ni tan siquiera una nación que necesite un presidente.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
America’s runaway inequality has an engine: our unjust tax system.
Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the ultra-rich have had their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice presents a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation, written by two economists who revolutionized the study of inequality. Eschewing anecdotes and case studies, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman offer a comprehensive view of America’s tax system, based on new statistics covering all taxes paid at all levels of government. Their conclusion? For the first time in more than a century, billionaires now pay lower tax rates than their secretaries.
Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry, and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.
But The Triumph of Injustice is much more than a laser-sharp analysis of one of the great political and intellectual failures of our time. Saez and Zucman propose a visionary, democratic, and practical reinvention of taxes, outlining reforms that can allow tax justice to triumph in today’s globalized world and democracy to prevail over concentrated wealth.
A pioneering companion website allows anyone to evaluate proposals made by the authors, and to develop their own alternative tax reform at taxjusticenow.org.
