A more simple model in favor of the 1%

Maximum possible equality on the base - chaotic inequality in total and the extinction of middle class by system failure The "shiny bosses" of the recent economic forum in Davos, have set as maximum priority the problem of inequality. They have been accused for hypocrisy by many people, but the truth is that their concern about global inequality is not hypocritical. Indeed, economic elites worry about the phenomenon of inequality, but this is a specific type of inequality and they have their own reasons, of course, to worry about. The global economic elite concerns about the kind of inequality which has to do with the quite significant (for the moment) inequality between the Western incomes and those of the developing economies, which causes huge profit losses for the banks and the big multinational corporations. On the one hand we have the high salaries in the West while on the other, the loss of huge consumer tanks mainly in Asia, who do not have the ec

Ένα απλούστερο μοντέλο υπέρ του 1%

Μέγιστη δυνατή ισότητα στη βάση - χαοτική ανισότητα στο σύνολο και εξαφάνιση της μεσαίας τάξης του system failure Οι "εκλεκτοί" του πρόσφατου οικονομικού φόρουμ στο Νταβός έθεσαν ως μείζον θέμα την ανισότητα. Πολλοί τους κατηγόρησαν για μέγιστη υποκρισία, αλλά η αλήθεια είναι ότι η ανησυχία τους για την παγκόσμια ανισότητα δεν είναι ψεύτικη. Πράγματι, οι οικονομικές ελίτ ανησυχούν για το φαινόμενο της ανισότητας, αλλά, για ένα συγκεκριμένο είδος ανισότητας για τους δικούς τους, φυσικά, λόγους. Το είδος της ανισότητας που απασχολεί την παγκόσμια οικονομική ελίτ, έχει να κάνει με την ιδιαίτερα σημαντική (προς το παρόν) ανισότητα στα εισοδήματα μεταξύ Δύσης και αναπτυσσόμενων οικονομιών, που προκαλεί μεγάλες απώλειες κερδών για τις τράπεζες και τις μεγάλες πολυεθνικές. Από τη μια έχουμε τα υψηλά μεροκάματα στη Δύση και από την άλλη, την απώλεια τεράστιων δεξαμενών καταναλωτών κυρίως στην Ασία, που δεν έχουν την αγοραστική δύναμη ώστε να καταναλώνουν προϊόντα

Greece’s health crisis: from austerity to denialism

A report by Alexander Kentikelenis, Marina Karanikolos, Aaron Reeves, Martin McKee, David Stuckler Key points “ Greece’s economic crisis has deepened since it was bailed out by the international community in 2010. The country underwent the sixth consecutive year of economic contraction in 2013, with its economy shrinking by 20% between 2008 and 2012, and anaemic or no growth projected for 2014.
