The massive concentration of economic resources in a few hands opens a gap that poses a major threat to the inclusive political and economic systems that favors the few at the expense of the majority. So to combat poverty is basic addressing inequality. This is the conclusion of the report to the Governing elites. Kidnapping democratic and economic inequality, published today by Oxfam Intermón .
The study is based on objective data from various official institutions and international reports documenting "excessive " concentration of global wealth in few hands. Data such as that 85 individuals accumulate as much wealth as the 3,570 million people who are the poorest half of the world population . Or that half of the wealth is held by just 1% worldwide . Not to mention , the report warns that a considerable amount of this wealth is hidden in tax havens.
The report of the organization, which will be presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos with a cry for commitments to be taken to curb inequality, warns that " the economic elites are hijacking the political power to manipulate the rules of the economic game , that undermines democracy . "
"Investors have taken advantage of the rescues ," says report
The report is accompanied by data that clearly reflected the increasing concentration of wealth in few hands from 1980 to the present . Or how the concentration and the gap continues to increase despite the great recession of 2008. In the U.S., for example, the richest 1% of the population has concentrated 95% of the growth after the financial crisis. In Europe, the combined income of the 10 richest people exceed the total cost of the stimulus measures in the European Union between 2008 and 2010 ( 217,000 million euros compared to 200,000) .
The warmth in the tax burden on the rich, service cuts or redemption of the banking public funds are examples of a phenomenon that is so visible growing public awareness of this power increase . Intermón Oxfam supports this claim in a survey conducted in Spain , Brazil, India, South Africa, United Kingdom and United States, which reveals that most of the population believes that the laws are designed to favor the rich . In Spain , 80% of the population believes that laws are made for this purpose.
About the Spanish case, the director of Oxfam Intermón , José María Vera says that the country " is no exception to this dynamic " and that the current crisis is partly explained by it : "The cases in which the interests of a minority economically powerful have been imposed in the interests of the citizens of walking are numerous in the history of our democracy.
The economic , financial, political and social crisis affecting Spain today has much of its origin precisely in these pernicious dynamic where the public interest and democratic processes have been hijacked by the interests of a minority. "
The organization calls for measures against tax havens
Among the policies developed in recent years that favor the rich minority , the organization lists opacity and financial deregulation , tax havens , tax cuts to higher income or spending cuts in public services and investments. The report notes how, in the case of Europe , " the tremendous pressures of financial markets have driven drastic austerity measures that have hit the lower and middle classes, while large investors have taken advantage of government rescue plans ."
Therefore, Oxfam Intermón required under the World Economic Forum in Davos to his assistants (whether private or government representatives ) to take commitments in areas such as tax havens ( which are not permitted to be used to evade taxes ), that investments are made in companies and public funds , to support progressive tax systems , which require their governments to tax dollars spent on public services or if you are investing in universal health care and education, or to pay the companies they represent wages to their employees and countries legislate in this direction , strengthening wage thresholds and labor rights.
If anyone would think that the proposals are utopian Intermón Oxfam , the organization points out that " this dangerous trend " is reversible and that there are examples of this. Was the case , remember, the U.S. or Europe after World War II , when economic growth was made compatible with the reduction of inequality, or the case of Latin America, where the gap has decreased "significantly over the last decade thanks to more progressive taxation, public services, public housing and decent employment. "
The report also provides examples of concentration in developing countries and superminoritaria refers to the Indian elite , largely millionaires who have forged their fortunes in industries whose profits depend on access to basic services , the power of elites in Pakistan and its influence the legal manipulation, to inequality in Africa , despite the abundance of resources, or what he calls " global network of bank secrecy " , which is nothing other than the form of tax havens.
