• We can only conclude that the elite own the rules and their functionaries fight to rig them in their interests, especially on tax, labour rights, monopolies and intellectual property; on land control, planning and extraction rights, and union-busting.
• Since 2020 and over these pandemic years, the top 1% have managed to seize nearly two-thirds of the $42 trillion in newly-created wealth. This is nearly twice as much money as gained over the same period by the remaining 99% of humanity.
• The “average” billionaire has gained roughly $1.7 million for every $1 of new wealth earned by a person in the bottom 90%.
• These numbers feel staggering, at a scale that is almost beyond comprehension.
