I think we now of better ways in theory. It’s a political issue not a lack of knowledge.
A dividend from a global carbon tax could put a bit of money in the hands of those who live in poverty. And giving poor people money has been proven to be an efficient approach to increase wealth.
- choeger 6y agoOf course you can redistribute wealth in many meaningful ways. (just think of mandatory social insurance or minimum wages.) The problem is how to produce the wealth you want to distribute in the first place. There has been no system that comes even close in regards to innovation and efficiency when it comes to production.
- CuriousSkeptic 6y agoMy point was that the suggestion actually have been proven to “produce wealth” efficiently. And I’m pretty sure there at a lot of such knowledge in out there. So it’s not really a problem of finding ways to produce wealth. It’s a problem of how to inform policy based on existing knowledge.
