Opinion Sur
The process of concentrating wealth and decision-making power not only ruthlessly punishes the peoples of the countries of the southern hemisphere but also the popular sectors of the central countries. This forces us to think about who leads and benefits from the concentrating process. The answer points to a powerful minority of people who live in outrageous opulence. They are the owners of capital and the largest corporations, guided by an alienated greed for unlimited accumulation.

Flipping perspective to enable a better course and way of functioning
The process of concentrating wealth and decisions has disastrous social and environmental consequences.

Reflections
About the potter and the great-great-grandparents of the upper classes He is very much mistaken who believes that the potter’s workmanship, even if it is not of fine workmanship, is incompatible with the delicacy and taste of manners that distinguish the upper classes of today, already forgotten or from birth ignorant of the brutality of their great-great-grandparents and the bestiality of their great-great-grandparents. José Saramago About some opposition An opposition that is intellectually null, politically sterile, and humanly miserable.
