Am enjoying the debate.
I just wish one day I make my way there I have slot of questions from the discussion.expecially for Africa.
That is government policy, politics, taxation, inflation etc..I love the pannel
I don't like the fact that none of them answered 'no' to the first question. Sure it's good if billionnaires are sharing their wealth, but is it not bad that we have a system in place that allows for that kind of inequality in the first place?
4:30 "Its systemic Exclusion that actually puts people way behind"
Exactly. Just look how massive the average hard working taxpayer is taxed to Death, while Billionaires can freely use all tax-loopholes. But not only that ... the Billionaires can easily get lots of Credit from commercial Banks, while a hard working taxpayer has nothing left (after taxes) in his pocket to use as Collateral. Practically normal people are completely excluded from all Credit-lines and cant even work themselves out of the hole to earn money to get Collateral for bigger loans, since government steals all of their hard-earned money with criminal Taxes.
Quite self revealing talks and frank discussion by the panelists
1. Kay Coles James, lots of Iraqi Christians are very grateful that you are where you are. 2. John Fugelsang, there are definitely issues to address. Issues of climate adaptation and climate induced crises and impending needs for migration (and yes, members of the Australia parliament HAVE assured to habilitate Pacific Islanders on the Australian continent : issues of capitalism - where capital is mobile, and labor is not and the breath of creatures is co-opted so that we are taxed on our breath and some fraction goes to "bankers", so to speak : issues of distribution and discrimination related to culture and institutional structures of which persons are sometimes witless, or never acknowledged and encouraged not to : issues of brazen evil, where killing and stealing are mandated and organized for greed, fear, hate, and lies, or even by reflex : If we should stop aid to cultures that do not 'respect women' (e.g. discriminate or persecute), just say 'we should booombb' countries that don't respect freedom. Would you suggest or advocate 'booooombbing' State of Israel, if that State were found to be criminal in some way? I don't think so, because you didn't.
Mo Ibrahim is doing what a Muslim should do
Highly Taxing the wealthy puts the money in the hands of inefficient governments. Placing meaningful policies that requires direct investments by the wealthy to create jobs and increase tax base.
What a dress with flowers,. so kitsch.
It is impossible to become rich without being corrupt in a way or another,but capitalism can bring people out of poverty,and rich philanthropists the likes of Bill Gates,should be giving away their wealth after it has been taxed.
tax the most profitable "business" ,0.1% $$quadrillion annual turnover forex otc derivatives notional value, or shut it down is better....it is NOT human greed, it's criminal>

She’s a horrible host - she cuts off all of her guests. From Davos to this..
Global inequality is impossible . Cause is the rich do not let the poorer become richer.
