"... Nearly one-fifth of America’s super-rich live in New York, the highest concentration of wealth in any state. But inequality is not just a New York problem or even an American problem – though the United States is more unequal than almost every other advanced economy. It is a global crisis ..."

🧐"It's worth remembering tt te great imperial power of 19ce, te #UnitedKingdom, didn't fare well in te 20ce.

The on-line Jubilee 2000 article is great: It may have been what motivated me to go to Fukuoka for the Jubilee 2000 march drring the Kyushu/Okinawa G-8 summit. I have the Rogue States book around here somewhere but I don't think I got very far into it. Curiously, I seem to be able to finish more serious books with an ebook reader. I can switch back and forth among docs, a novel, and a heavy (economic, military, systemic, I guess) atrocity book without losing any of them. And then I can stay engaged while taking a reading break by getting the .epub up on a real PC screen for quoting and checking out the sources... The book's version is better: I guess it's been edited and probably gone through iterative development as the article is worked over and used for the basis of talks too. The book's Jubilee 2000 chapter has a lot more sources, and I noticed a line that had been made more precise too.
.> A complementary approach might invoke the old-fashioned capitalist idea that those who borrow are responsible for repayment, and those who lend take the risk.

Whatever the system we have now is, it might not even by "capitalist" it's just corruption decorated with vague images about what Adam Smith mentioned like "the invisible hand" and not his aim which was that freedom would bring about equality. (That' s in another Chomsky work: the Democracy and Education speech he gave at Loyola Univeristy in the 90s).
.> The banks were eager to lend and upbeat about the prospects. On the eve of the 1982 disaster Citibank director Walter Wriston, known in the financial world as “the greatest recycler of them all,” described Latin American lending as so risk-free that commercial banks could safely treble Third World loans (as proportion of assets). After disaster struck, Citibank declared that “we don’t feel unduly exposed” in Brazil, which had doubled bank debt in the preceding 4 years, with Citibank exposure in Brazil alone greater than 100% of capital. In 1986, after the collapse of the international lending boom in which he was a prime mover, Wriston wrote that “events of the past dozen years would seem to suggest that we [bankers] have been doing our job [of risk assessment] reasonably well”; true enough, if we factor in the ensuing socialization of risk, welcomed by Wriston and others famous for their contempt of government and adulation of the free market.

" #socialmedia cos controlled by the super-rich .. are even less constrained in spreading #misinformation. Thanks to Section 230 of 1996 Communications Decency Act, US-based cos cannot be held liable for 3rd-party content hosted on their platforms - or for most of the other #socialharms they cause .. We can begin to enhance the well-being of all citizens fairly only when we leave neoliberal capitalism behind & do a much better job at creating the #sharedprosperity we acclaim" -
