Europe's transition to a greener economy is progressing too slowly to meet climate objectives. While current EU energy legislation addresses 55% of emissions, a circular economy can tackle the remaining 45% derived from material production.

A recent paper highlights how a circular economy offers a double-win: significant energy savings and reduced emissions. This approach is crucial, especially given Europe's energy and climate crisis, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. It underscores the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence, boost energy efficiency, ensure resilient supplies, and optimize material use.

Robert Reich and Mark Zandi debated Glenn Hubbard and Arthur Laffer on the topic: "The Rich Are Taxed Enough." Moderated by John Donvan, the discussion addressed how to fix the U.S. economy.

With a nearing trillion-dollar budget deficit and high unemployment, the expiring Bush-era tax cuts presented a critical economic challenge. President Obama advocated raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 to reduce the deficit. Conversely, others argued the wealthiest 1% already pay over a quarter of federal taxes, and higher taxes on "job creators" would hinder economic growth. The central question remained: should tax breaks be extended for everyone, or are the wealthy not paying their "fair share"?
