Wealth Tax
In this article, I defend a procedural justification for the wealth tax, and criticize what I have called the outcome-approach. On the outcome-approach, the wealth tax is justified on the ground that it is an effective means to achieve an outcome, or a state of affairs, that we might consider just. That outcome or state of affairs would be equality. I argue that this approach leads to unjust or unituitive results, as it burdens all agents equally…
Debts, Poverty and Justice

People might become poorer as a result of a loan, …

Agency law and odious debts

Suppose a corrupt public official borrows money from an international agency, or from private investors, and later on embezzles this money, or uses it to oppress the population. Suppose, further, that the lender is aware of the potential of this situation and still lends. Typically, the…
