While unrealised capital gains tax is probably not feasible. But it is a common scheme of the rich to buy assets from each other every year at higher and higher prices in order to inflate their portfolios which allows them to borrow more at lower rates, cleverly designating such exchanges as exempt from most taxes. banks routinely give whale clients extreme subprime lending against their unrealized capital gains and amortize any potential loses over their poorer clients through fees and surcharges. that's why fees and surcharges were invented only a few decades ago; they didn't exist in the thousand years of banking in the amount and proliferation we have now. So they are profiting substantially over that "unrealized capital gains".

Hello Sir. Thank you for your insights. I have a few points which I would like to share. I wont go into numbers so that I get the overall basics correct. 1. There is way too much monopoly happening in India at the top level. China having their richest in world's top 10 would have made sense but India's doesnt. Lets say we seriously have shortage of talent and we have to rely on Ambani and Adani (surprisingly both from Gujarat) for quality growth, then may be we would expect a lifestyle similar to Ratan Tata from them. But they want to enjoy all the luxuries of the world. Spend crazy in weddings, build most costlly houses, have a series of private jets. Thats not acceptable. Democracy mein Raja Maharaja nahi sevak hote hain :) BJP jyada he history mein ja rahi hai. Those billionares have to start donating money for upliftment of the poor. 2. Modi government is letting all the big fish eat the small ones. Every field is seing monopoly. Small businesses have suffered immensely since notebandi, GST and then covid, and government didnt do much towards stimulus. Its a shame. Kisan aj bhi usi dar se aatmahatya kar raha hai. We dont want progress at the cost of quality of life of masses. Farming mein technological advancement bohot pehle aani chahiye thi. This government doesnt want to empower poor people. 3. India had a spirit of love and brotherhood. Now there is only patriotism driving the nation. Other than that there is just hate and division. Kisi bhi industry ka kabhi bhi boycott kiya ja sakta hai. Anyone can curse anyone openly. News channels sare bik gaye hain. Bollywood ka culture RSS ko pasand nahi to 100 saal purani industry he hila di. I know we dont have options. But BJP will have to do a better job. Is tarah ki desh ki growth ka faida nahi hai which comes at the cost of pain for masses. Humein Japan nahi ban na jaha janta paisa hote hue bhi depressed hai aur suicide ka sochti hai. Is sey behtar to phir congress he hai. Khud bhi kaam nahi karegi, logon ko bhi nahi kahegi karne ke liye. GDP 3-4% se grow karti rahegi to kya problem hai. Nahi ban na boss superpower if it means stressful life. We need a better balance. BJP does get some benefit as pandemic made things difficult for them, but now they have to start fixing all the loopholes. There is no substitute for hardwork and corporate style governance is the only option. Otherwise only time will tell what masses decide. BJP ne boycott karna to sikha he diya :) Ab time nahi lagta janta ko mann badalne mein :)

No Because it suits his narrative Even in yesterdays episode he making fun of Modi ji as some one who buys Oil from Russia.

There is no global grand conspiracy to put India down. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. And remember the West is not a monolith either. The real explanation is pretty simple, leftists in the West tend to incorrectly in my opinion, view India as some far rightwing nation. So they tend to be critical of it. The other big factor is that the West in general is very bad at understanding India, so they misunderstand India's intentions, and India in general is bad at explaining itself and making itself understood. The solution to the religious freedom debate is very simple. India should emphasize that the US does not allow polygamy for mormons, yet India does for Muslims. Most of the West has no idea India has differing laws based on religion. In this way India goes further than Western countries for the sake of religious freedom. India should then say that by adapting BJPs proposals on UCC they are simply pushing for more secularism. Its very easy for India to silence this Western criticism, but first you need to understand where they are coming from, their biases, and what they are ignorant of.

Inequality with low poverty is better than having income equality and widespread poverty. During license raj we never had such income inequality but we had massive amounts of abject poverty. Today, poverty has declined thanks to the opportunities that opened after 1991. Being brought up in the 90s, I remember how foreign brands were craved for, how we had limited options for almost everything. Being a tech geek, I used to beg my dad to ask my cousins to get me gadgets from outside. Today, you can buy all of that in India (a lot of them even made here). Same goes for services. Quality of life for middle class has definitely improved in India. Income equality has gone up but that is the trend all around the world sadly. It’s not specifically to India. The answer to that is not a stupid revolution, but making sure companies don’t evade taxes and making sure that the taxes actually benefit the people. In India, taxes usually go to politician’s pocket and we the people see very little benefit. That is a bigger problem at the moment than income inequality. Income inequality can be solved to a greater extend if the people actually start seeing benefits of paying taxes.

Exactly. Land reforms, industrialization, and agricultural reforms are the biggest issues I think. It really disturbs me at how Indians do not look at countries like China and Vietnam, which had similar economies in the 90s but grew faster, and study what they did. Both have far more liberalized and productive agricultural sectors despite much less land. Both built greefield cities from scratch and established reliable power grids for manufacturing. China achieved modernization in 30 years by establishing trade deals, having good relations with the US and exporting textiles there in the 90s. At the same time they built infrastructure. The in the 2000s they began manufacturing and assembling electronics. At the same time they massively opened up to foreign businesses and got FDI into the country. Then In the 2010s they seized upon the smart phone revolution and formed their own companies, decades after foreigners entered the market, they started to really compete with them. Now in the 2020s decade they are trying to move up the value chain to automotive. We will see if they succeed.

While I agree with SG on many things, I do think India really needs to reform its tax brackets. With increased inflation and more expensive dollar, I would argue that the 10lakh brackets needs to breakup into smaller brackets. Just above 10lakh should not be paying so much tax. A much higher bracket like 10crore (or something like that) should be kept to have such a high taxation of about 40%.

This communist thinking has led to the economic demise of eastern european nations and countries like Venezuela run on similar policies. Not all branches of a tree grow equally.

Great as always. While watching this, I felt GDP per capita in dollars is a wrong metric to gauge a country's well being. I'll try to explain why, lets say, a family makes ₹16000 / $200 a month in a village in India and is able to feed the whole family with good food and they have access to clean water and other basic necessities. The same is not possible in a village in USA with $200 a month because of the purchasing power difference. The same family would need at least $1500 a month. Why are we saying that people with $200/month GDP per capita is not well compared to a $1200/month GDP per capita even if former is living in India and the latter in USA..??!! We should start using metrics which are adjusted to purchasing power differences of the country. Edit: Just checked the PPP adjusted GDP per capita values of India and for the year 2021 it is around $7200 per person which seems fair. We obviously have a long way to go but with this at least we have a clearer view!

Oxfam is an activist organization. It is silly how seriously media treats their report. One of the stupidest ideas in recent years is the unrealized capital gains tax proposal. It might have made some sense in a persistent low interest rate environment when asset prices were ballooning but Oxfam folks seem to have missed the huge rate hikes all over the world. Also, they never talk about helping create wealth at the bottom, i think that is the more important question rather than these pie-in-the-sky tax proposals. PS : As an aside i do think intergenerational poverty is a serious problem, where lack of liquid 'wealth' plays a big role. IMO , we should try coming up with fiscal space to provide something like a government bond for kids born to parents below some income threshold. The children could then use it once they are 18years old for vocational training or small business collateral etc.

Very well analysed Shekarji. It is unfortunate because it undermines some of the issues that needs serious deliberation. Wealth gap is real and needs our attention but exaggeration of this kind makes it difficult to have a rational conversation around it. There was a talk by president Obama where he suggested that one should not worry about if the theory is socialist or capitalist. We should just choose what works for the people. Capitalism can work for people if implemented correctly with the right protections for the mass and equal opportunity built in its working. The term he used was inclusive capitalism

The bulk of the FDI in India is invested in stock markets and not in manufacturing as we are not members of any of the 3 major tax-free blocks like NAFTA, EU and RECP. Each of these blocks is a bigger tax-free trading market than India. And anything manufactured in India attracts custom duty abroad. While if they set up a factory in any of the 15 RCEP counties, they pay no customs duty within RCEP. Today HNI are setting up shop abroad and even giving up Indian nationality.

I am no expert. From what I understand. Wealth redistribution will only have temporary positive effects on the poor. Real economic gains can only be made if the poor are able to get the right resources and right incentives to become.more productive. For eg one main investment is education. If the government is able to educate all the poor. They can then gain knowledge to increase their yields in the farm or move into sectors where more money can be made. If wealth is redisbuted but the poor are not educated & not structire is created where they can become more productive..then wealth redistribution will have no effects.

Help those belonging to the bottom section of the society to set up productive industries. Everyday, we are using products of daily living (like bathing soaps, cleaning solutions, packed food products and tooot brushes , to name a few) of the big business companies, which come with attractive brand names and flashy advertisements. If these can be produced by self- help groups by the economically disadvantaged ( with governmental support), that will go a long way in the progress of the villages and the urban poor. If only the self- help groups support each other, by buying among themselves, the marketing of the goods also will be assured to a great extent. Government should provide good quality health and education to all , from the taxes collected from the public, so that people don't have to slip into poverty ( every year, 2% of Indians slip into poverty because of medical expenses).

You miss the entire point of the report, Mr. G. It’s not about capitalising on envy, it’s not about telling people “see, Ambani and Adani have so much money”, and it’s not about being anti-wealthy. It’s simply about the broken system of economic distribution which is driven by wealth consolidation, monopolisation, and the continuing cycle of inequality of opportunity. Every year, you do this same repetition of the report with the same arguments and denigrate activists and NGOs. They’re easy targets. The whole bit about “no one takes the report seriously” whereas it’s been used by governments across the developed and developing world to design fiscal actions to reduce income and wealth inequality. Let’s not make India the front and centre of global economic policy. It’s not. If you’re unaware of the value of the report both in terms of highlighting the issue of wealth concentration and inequality, it’s perhaps best you stick to asking softball questions to an economic advisor who regurgitates well established monetary transmission mechanisms as his own unique theory. 😂😂

Wealth Inequality is a real economic issue. It does lead to stagnation as the wealthy can not increase their consumption any further. Though the only good solution is to have a higher & more progressive tax level & brackets.

The report also says "Given that this analysis used only select food and nonfood items, the percentages should only be reflective of the differences between the three different income groups as they are not representative of the actual share of income one spends on taxes."

Of course this a headline grabbing report BUT I just want to ask that how much tax did the corporates saved because of lowering of corporate tax rates and how much of that savings they invested in India (for which it was lowered) and not added to their profits? Even Nirmala Sitaraman asked the Indian Industry people that why are they not investing. Please do a CTC on that as well SG sir!

Are your missing the point that the absolute quantum of tax has gone up?

@@sudip_curiousmind Tax was not lowered for this purpose. It was stated clearly that they are lowering tax so that corporates could invest more resulting in more job opportunities. And my question is about that part. How much tax saved has been invested in India? And on your point, it is 26% of total direct tax compared to 27%. So the tax collected has not gone up as well but tax saved is huge.

Look at South Korea, Japan, Germany and China, all of them grew on the back of crony capitalism. Read about the zaibatsu system of Japan. Samsung accounts for more than 20% of South Koreas GDP, Germany mein startups fail kyun hote hai? And China is giving free land, cheap credit, zero environmental laws, and literally slave labor from uyghur camps to companies ran by relatives of CCP officials. How are you going to compete in a dog-eat-dog world without a couple of dogs of your own? Thoda realism lao please.

EVEN IF OXFAM IS WRONG, INDIA'S GINI COEFFICIENT IS INCREASING, WHICH MEANS THAT THE RICH ARE GETTING RICHER & THE POOR ARE GETTING POORER. REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY ALONG WITH ITS CREATION, BOTH OF WHICH AREN'T HAPPENING IN INDIA.

The video insinuates a false binary that increased redistribution is necessarily antagonistic to wealth creation. It can be so when it is excessive, but in India there's a lot of low hanging fruit when it comes to the government's ability to still increase wealth redistribution withouth materially impacting wealth creation. Essentially, India should focus on tax compliance. In that sense, indirect taxation can actually help the cause rather than slow it down.

SOME PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THAT WEALTH INEQUALITY IS RISING BUT INCOME INEQUALITY ISN'T RISING IN INDIA. BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT BOTH INCOME INEQUALITY & WEALTH INEQUALITY ARE RISING IN INDIA. FOR EXAMPLE, THE URBAN SERVICE SECTOR HAS BEEN GROWING AT THE RATE OF 7-9% FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS WHEREAS THE RURAL AGRICULTURE SECTOR HAS BEEN GROWING AT THE RATE OF 1-4% FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE INCOME GROWTH OF THE URBAN & THE RURAL POPULATIONS HAS BEEN EXCESSIVELY UNEQUAL.
