CANCELLED: Matrix On Point: Taxation & the 1%
Brownbag Discussions on Topics that Matter
Matrix is located on the 8th floor of Barrows Hall, on the UC Berkeley campus, near Telegraph and Bancroft Avenues, just up the hill from Sather Gate. There are entrances at both ends of the building, but only one of the elevators on the eastern side goes directly to the 8th floor. You can alternatively take either elevator to the 7th floor and walk up the stairs.
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS.
Once home to the most progressive tax system in the world, the United States now has a highly regressive tax system in which the richest Americans pay the lowest tax rate. What might increased taxes on the richest Americans look like? What would be the impacts of the different tax policies the Democratic presidential candidates are proposing?
Join us for a talk about tax policy with Emmanuel Saez, Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley and co-author of The Triumph of Injustice; and Danny Yagan, Assistant Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley.
