  • Alpha: Labor Is the New Capital
    Nov. 19 - Dear Ostrom Workshop readers: I’m so grateful for the opportunity to present at the Workshop. This paper is still in its early stages. I’m still working through the argu- ments, and, having presented the paper twice (first, two weeks ago, and again just today) it’s clear to me that it will be two papers. Also it’s clear that I still have a lot of work ahead of me. So thanks in ad- vance for your willingness to read a very rough draft. But I much pre- fer presenting work at a stage when I can actually still make funda- mental changes to the paper. The first paper (the first half of this draft) will argue that “alpha” is a useful third category of income in addition to labor and capital, that “alpha” best accounts for the rise of U.S. income inequality, and that “alpha” is often taxed at low capital gains rates. The second paper (the second half of this draft) will set forth a nor- mative theory of capital income taxation, with a uniform rate struc- ture from whatever source derived. This is really where the tax litera- ture began 100 years ago. But the literature has moved away from uniformity over the last fifty years, towards exemption of capital in- come. The facts on the ground suggest to me that we ought to move back to basics. Finally, a note on the background of this project. This draft was pre- pared for Tax Law Review symposium on tax and entrepreneurship. It consolidates a lot of my prior work on the tax treatment of private equity and venture capital.
