US economist Joseph Stiglitz: Companies making windfall profits 'didn't do anything to deserve it'
AFP, 19 Sep 2022
In an interview in Paris with AFP, Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz says the world's energy giants should pay a special tax on their massive profits. To him, the companies "didn't do anything to deserve" the windfall.
The 79-year-old American economist has championed reforms of international tax rules for years to ensure major corporations pay their fair share.
He is the co-chair of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation (ICRICT), an organisation that seeks to put an end to tax havens.
