Another fact from our new G20 Report on Inequality, commissioned by President Ramaphosa:

One in four people globally (2.3 billion) face moderate or severe food insecurity, meaning they have to
regularly skip meals, which is up by 335 million since 2019.

That is why Pope Francis asked @martinguzman.bsky.social and me to create a Jubilee Commission. Our report out on 6/20.

Trump isn’t just cutting taxes for billionaires—he’s building a crypto-fueled tax haven. It’s an attack on fair taxation.

Chief Economist @josephestiglitz.bsky.social‬ lifts the veil off the impacts of unregulated crypto markets on our economy: rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/l...
America Is Becoming the World’s Largest Tax Haven - Roosevelt Institute
Donald Trump is quickly turning the United States into the greatest tax haven in history. One need only note the Treasury Department’s mandate to withdraw from the transparency regime that shares the real identities of company owners, the administration’s withdrawal from negotiations to establish a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, its refusal to enforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and massive crypto deregulation.
