A jarring portrait of a deeply unequal Canada and how a wealth tax could rein in the destructive power wielded by today’s billionaires.

Despite the largest rich-poor gap in history, the ultra-wealthy are using their power to further enrich themselves in ways that impoverish the rest and destroy the planet. The good news is that almost 90 percent of Canadians support a wealth tax, and there are signs of a rising backlash – in the U.S. and elsewhere – against the devastating dominance of the billionaire class.

Linda McQuaig is the recipient of a National Newspaper Award for investigative reporting and a Toronto Star columnist. She is also the author of eight national bestsellers, including Shooting the Hippo, selected by the Literary Review of Canada as one of the twenty-five most influential books of the past twenty-five years.

Neil Brooks is a leading tax scholar and former director of the graduate program in taxation at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.
