Davos 2023: World Economic Forum kicks off amid calls for more tax on super-rich

Also in the show, Oxfam releases its annual report on inequality, asking many of the people present at Davos to pay more in taxes. Some 63 percent of the wealth generated since the pandemic has been captured by the richest 1 percent.
