"The Price We Pay" is a new documentary that tackles the issue of tax havens and their cost to the societies losing out on trillions of dollars in revenue. In this web exclusive, we continue our discussion with the film's director, Harold Crooks, and economist James Henry. "To reconstruct a system of progressive taxation, which is necessary for the restoration of an equitable society, we have to find new ways—new forms of taxing and taxes on wealth, tax on finance," Crooks said. "And so, the financial transaction tax, or, as other people know it, the Robin Hood tax, is a very, very important issue for ordinary people to be thinking about and organizing around."
