Historian Rutger Bregman visited Davos and did not hold back on his thoughts about the super rich. He called out ‘stupid philanthropy schemes’

Bregman said that the real issue that needs tackling to make a fairer playing field is tax avoidance.

He said: ‘We can invite Bono once more but come on we’ve got to be talking about taxes … all the rest is bullshit in my opinion,’ he says.

Bregaman said he feels like he’s ‘at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water’

“I hear people talking the language of participation, justice, equality and transparency but almost no one raises the real issue of tax avoidance, right? And of the rich just not paying their fair share.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
