Spain's bid to tax rentiers hits the wrong target
Original: Spain’s rentier euthanasia targets wrong disease
Spain is moving against so-called rentier wealth, in what Reuters Breakingviews calls 'rentier euthanasia'. The argument being made is that the policy targets the wrong disease: rather than curbing unproductive wealth, it risks punishing the wrong owners or assets while leaving the underlying housing and inequality problems untouched. Critics and commentators are debating whether the measure addresses Spain's real economic ailment.
Why now: A Spanish policy aimed at rentier wealth is drawing criticism that it misdiagnoses the country's economic problem.
