I have been in a kind of information vacuum, these days, so maybe you all have read this great illustration of how the Free Market Society functions: “Wealthy elites have co-opted political power to rig the rules of the economic game, undermining democracy and creating a world where the 85 richest people own the wealth of half of the world’s population, worldwide development organization Oxfam warns in a report published today.” And “seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years.
