About the impact of the huge concentration of monopolistic corporate power

A huge concentration of corporate and monopoly power is exacerbating inequality in the global economy. Seven of the world’s 10 largest companies have a billionaire CEO, or a billionaire as their main shareholder. By squeezing their workers, evading and eluding taxes, privatizing public services and fueling climate breakdown, corporations are driving inequality and generating ever-increasing wealth for their already wealthy owners. To end extreme inequality, governments must drastically redistribute the power of billionaires and big business to the rest of the population. We can achieve a more equal world as long as governments effectively regulate and reinvent the private sector.

About a debt crisis

After a poorly managed globalization, after the pandemic and wars, we are facing a debt crisis that mainly affects the countries of the south of the world, generating misery and anguish, and depriving millions of people of the possibility of a dignified future. Consequently, no government can morally demand that its people suffer deprivations incompatible with human dignity.

Many lack the social thermometer of knowing what ordinary Argentines are experiencing.
