Daniel, reports an article that incorporates part of the argument the previous post. Discourses seem to take for granted, old risaputi that we can only respond with a shrug, saying, "It 's so, what can you do?". We were wrong! The tyranny of capital is historically destined to end tragically. Every great accumulation of wealth, has always led to a violent reaction of the lower classes. This time will be no different, it's just a matter of time. We will see many heads roll in the dust and then, we realize to what were empty.
2011: The world's wealth is more concentrated in the hands of an elite than it is ever been in modern history.
one time the majority of the population on the planet knew how to grow their own food, raise their animals and take care of yourself. There were a lot of people fabulously rich, but there was a certain dignity in having a piece of land that you could call your own, or in having a skill that you could make money. Sadly, in recent decades, an increasing percentage of arable land has been swallowed up by big corporations and corrupt governments. Hundreds of millions of people have been driven from their lands to more urban areas denser. Meanwhile, it has become increasingly difficult to start their own business, since a few monolithic global corporations have begun to dominate almost every sector of the global economy. Thus, an increasing number of people in the world has been forced to work for "the system" to be able just to survive. At the same time, those who are at the top of the food chain (the elite) took decades to implement the system in order to ensure in their pockets increasingly large portions of wealth. And so today, in 2011, we have a global system in which very few people at the top ... ... are absurdly rich, while nearly half the population of this planet is hopelessly poor. There are very few nations in the world that have been almost entirely plundered global elite. When the elite talks about "investing" in poor countries, what is really meant to take possession of land, water, oil and other natural resources. The system was not designed to raise the standard of living of the poor. Nor to promote "free enterprise" and "competition". The elite rather seeks to hoard all the wealth.
The following is a list of 20 statistics that prove the continued centralization of wealth in the hands of the global elite.
1. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UN Conference on Trade and Development), the number of "least developed countries" has doubled in the last 40 years.
2. The "least developed countries" have spent $ 9 billion for food imports in 2002. In 2008 this figure rose to 23 billion dollars.
3. The average income per capita in the poorest countries in Africa has dropped to fourth in the last 20 years.
4. Bill Gates has a net worth of the order of 50 billion dollars. There are about 140 countries worldwide that have annual GDP less than the wealth of Bill Gates.
5. A study by the World Institute for Development Economics Research (World Institute for Research on Development Economics) shows that the lower half of the world population owns about 1% of global wealth.
6. About 1 billion people in the world goes to bed hungry every night.
7. 2% of the richest people holds more than half of all global real estate assets.
8. Si stima che più dell’80% della popolazione mondiale vive in paesi dove il divario fra ricchi e poveri è in continuo aumento.
9. Ogni 3,6 secondi qualcuno muore di fame, e 3/4 di essi sono bambini sotto i 5 anni.
10. Secondo Gallup, il 33% della popolazione mondiale dice di non avere abbastanza soldi per comprarsi da mangiare.
11. While you're reading this article, 2.6 billion people worldwide are suffering from lack of health services.
12. According to the most recent "Global Wealth Report" by Credit Suisse, 0.5% of richest people control more than 35% of global wealth.
13. Over 3 billion people, nearly half the world's population lives on less than $ 2 per day.
14. The founder of CNN, Ted Turner, is the largest private landowner in the United States. Today, Turner owns about 2 million acres of [more than 8,000 square miles - as the whole area of \u200b\u200bAbruzzo - translator's note]. Turner also calls for government restrictions to limit to 2 or fewer children per couple in view of a control population growth.
15. 400 million children worldwide have no access to drinking water.
16. Approximately 28% of children in developing countries are considered to be malnourished or have a reduced growth due to malnutrition.
17. It is estimated that the United States hold approximately 25% of the total wealth of the world.
18. It is estimated that Africa possesses only 1% of the total wealth of the world.
19. In 2008 about 9 million children died before age 5. About 1 / 3 of the deaths was due directly or indirectly to food shortages.
20. The most famous family of bankers in the world, the Rothschilds, have accumulated mountains of wealth.
Nobody seems to know exactly how much wealth the Rothschilds possess today. Dominate the banking system in England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and many other nations. E ' estimated that their wealth was worth billions [of dollars] in the mid 800. No doubt the amount of wealth held by the family today is something unimaginable, but no one knows for sure.
At this point, many readers will want to talk about how horrible it is and how wonderful capitalism is socialism and communism.
But the problem is not capitalism and state ownership of enterprises is not solution to anything.
What we have in the world today is not capitalism. E 'rather than something closer to "feudalism". The elite is made up of "men-monopoly" that take advantage of their incredible wealth and power to dominate the rest of us. In fact, it was John D. Rockefeller once said: "Competition is sin."
The middle class has begun to be eliminated even in wealthy nations such as the United States.
appears that the global elite has decided that it does not really need so many expensive and "worker bees" U.S. overseas after you move thousands of factories and millions of jobs work.
There is no guarantee that the U.S. will be prosperous forever. Today, a record number of Americans are already living in poverty. The median household income fell last year compared to the previous one.
So wake up. The United States are integrating into a global economic system dominated and controlled by an elite disproportionately rich. To these people do not care that you have to pay the mortgage and you want to send your son to college.
Greed is running rampant around the world and the world is becoming a very very cold. Unfortunately, unless very dramatic event, only the rich are getting richer and the poor are only becoming poorer.
