Nearly 90 % of the world’s population now lives in countries where inequality exceeds the World Bank’s threshold for “high inequality.” In those societies, the risk of democratic backsliding is seven times higher.

Global inequality has reached a point where it's no longer just an social or justice issue. It’s a structural crisis threatening democracy and economic development.
since 2000, the richest 1 % have captured 41 % of all new global wealth.The poorest 50 % have received just 1 %.

Tariffs are cost shocks. Last time around, across the board cost shocks coordinated price hikes and triggered sellers' inflation (see paper below).

Wow this is wild.
James: "The Trump team didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Die Linke just ruled themselves out as a leftist progressive party. By endorsing the sordid rearmament program of the warmongering new German gvt, they have repeated the sins of the Social Democrats circa WW1. History will judge them harshly.
