About this episode
Scott Galloway and Ed Elson sit down with Ray Madoff to break down how America's wealthiest avoid taxes — legally. They dig into the biggest loophole the ultrawealthy use to their advantage and discuss what it would actually take to fix a system that was designed to fail.
Ray Madoff is a professor at Boston College Law School and the author of The Second Estate: How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy.
