Comment en finir avec la concentration extrême des richesses en Europe et dans le monde ?

On Saturday, May 30, 2026, the La Boétie Institute and the Pour Le Peuple Foundation organized an international economics conference at the Maison de la Chimie (House of Chemistry). For the third edition of its economics conference, the economics department of the La Boétie Institute, in cooperation with the Pour Le Peuple Foundation, brought together the best of the global heterodox economic debate in France! The fourth roundtable discussion of the day focused on the extreme concentration of wealth today, its mechanisms, and its dynamics. Who is responsible? How does the new finance accelerate the accumulation of wealth, and at what cost? How should wealth be taxed? What mechanisms can be used to put an end to the accumulation of wealth?
