Spotlight on Geopolitics

Thomas Piketty’s Manifesto

May 4, 2014

Last Saturday, Thomas Piketty and a group of French intellectuals have launched a manifesto which is intended as a guide to would-be reformers of the European Unions’ policies and institutions.

Central to the manifesto is the idea of introducing an EU-wide corporate income tax which, according to its authors, will prevent both fiscal dumping and fiscal optimisation, as well as provide the necessary funds for the cash-strapped EU budget.

Without any further ado, I would like to provide you with a link to the full manifesto, as published by yesterday’s Guardian:
