It has never been more clear that unaccountable systems of wealth are the PRIMARY destructive element of our politics, economy, and society as a whole. Unchecked abuse of all kinds. The current US admin is just the latest, purest personification of this trend.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

You can have democracy or extreme inequality, but not both. With extreme wealth comes concentrated power, with huge consequences for our rights. Just look around… Another excellent Davos report by Oxfam

The Davos Billionaire Wealth Tracker estimates how much billionaire wealth is projected to grow during the World Economic Forum (based on current trends), and what that wealth could fund instead. The numbers are projected. The inequality is real. #RuleOfTheRich www.oxfam.org/en/oxfam-bil...

3K billionaires control $18.3 trillion, and this concentration of wealth is reshaping democracy itself. Billionaire money changes who gets heard, who decides, and who gets left behind. Read the evidence: www.oxfam.org/en/resisting... #RuleOfTheRich #FightInequality #TaxTheSuperRich

Important study. Essentially it finds a straight line between the pro-corporate concentration policies of Reagan/Clinton/Thatcher/Blair and the decline of democracy. Interestingly, the mechanism is not income inequality but the raw power the biggest corps wield over government.

There are many times over the past week when I've actually been shocked at how the CBC is internalizing authoritarian disinformation and assumptions right into their coverage. Canadian journalists: don't print lies in the newspaper. When you do, you are enabling fascism.

As someone who publishes with @irpp.org, I can’t emphasize enough their commitment to evidence-based policy AND impact. If you can, support them. It matters to scholars like me
