The Robin Hood Tax
Around the world, momentum is building behind a tiny tax on bankers that could generate billions of dollars to help with problems at home and overseas.
It has been given different names in different countries – the ‘Robin Hood’ tax in the United Kingdom and ‘ steuergegenarmut’ or ‘tax against poverty’ in Germany, but we are all talking about the same thing. A tiny tax on the transactions of big banks that could deliver billions of dollars to help ordinary people and fight poverty around the world.
