We hear a lot about the top 1% and top 0.1%, but what they represent isn’t always obvious.
Extreme wealth is more complex than it sounds.
EG and the Extreme Wealth Center break down Austin Clemens’s latest report in this explainer video.
equitablegrowth.org/defining…
Rising wealth concentration has created opportunities to raise significant revenue through targeted taxes on the richest Americans.
For Substack, Austin Clemens and @dsmitch28 explore why California's Proposition 40 could be a key test of that idea.

In debate about CA's wealth tax, many miss the forest for the trees: the US needs revenue, inequality is high & under current system the richest pay little. So we should raise more from the top, as CA is trying. Let's root for this experiment to succeed! equitablegrowth.substack.com…

Very proud of the work our EG fellows did with Sen. @RonWyden's office to ensure evidence-backed research informs policymaking!
What evidence supports the Stability and Opportunity for Workers Act?
In a new column, Equitable Growth Fellow Megan Rivera & Visiting Fellow @awh, who were consulted on the legislation, examine the research behind the bill's proposals to modernize unemployment insurance and better support workers during periods of economic disruption.

Responding to economic shifts and a changing labor market requires investing in a stronger, more modern social safety net.
That's why we're encouraged to see Sen. @RonWyden's Stability and Opportunity for Workers Act include provisions based on evidence advanced by Equitable Growth to address longstanding weaknesses in the nation's unemployment insurance system.

Check out our first post from Senior Policy Fellow @michaelslinden on the federal deficit debate. 📈
The question is not really “Do we have a spending problem or a revenue problem.” The real question lurking underneath the deficit debate is much more consequential: “How do we judge whether the federal budget is aimed at the right things?”
