Abstract
This essay analyses the practical effects of implementing a wealth tax in the context of a Latin American economic block or trade group such as the Pacific Alliance, as well as its convenience or inconvenience according to the economic growth impact it can have. To this effect, an overview of the current trends of wealth taxation will be made,as well as on the ongoing tensions between the key factors to determine whether or not wealth should be taxed: i.e. economic growth and inequality. Lastly, an analysis on the current state of affairs regarding the treatment of wealth taxation under multilateral and bilateral tax treaties will be undertaken as well as Thomas Piketty’s proposal to create a global –or, in this case, a hemispheric or continental- tax on capital in order to reduce inequality.
