Tax the rich — and save the planet | from TED Talks Daily

This podcast episode features a TED Talk by economist Esther Duflo, who proposes taxing the world's wealthiest individuals and multinational corporations to fund climate damage reparations for low- and middle-income countries. Duflo argues that the current system of climate finance is inadequate and that a publicly funded redistribution system, sending money directly to people in need, is a feasible and just solution. The episode also includes advertisements for TUI and Tinder, as well as a promotion for the "Planet Money" and "TED Tech" podcasts.
