    Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives. In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP. We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy...

  9. How #billionaires took over #American #politics
    Concentration of #wealth among #richest is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.
    Since 2000, political giving by wealthiest 100 Americans to federal elections has gone up 140 times, well outpacing growing costs of campaigns, a Washington Post analysis found. Roughly 1 in every 13 dollars spent in #election2024 was donated by a handful of country’s richest people.

  11. #Inflation quashed household #income gains in 2024, census finds
    
The #richest Americans’ income rose, & #women & #Black people lost ground, the data found.

    Most Americans’ household income remained steady last year, in part because inflation counteracted gains in income, the US Census Bureau said Tuesday.
    
But there were some notable exceptions: The richest 10% of households saw their income rise, & women & Black people lost ground, the census data shows.

  12. Positive cash flow provides freedom and reduces financial stress. When our company controls the asset, money continues to flow in. Cash flow or passive income is taxed less than capital gains from asset sales. True financial independence occurs when our assets make us cash flow.

  13. Mastering our financial statements is crucial for building true wealth and freedom. Without understanding it, people struggle in a debt-driven world. Money has become a form of currency rather than real money. We can invest like the government, which prints debt(money) to invest.

  20. A quotation from Bernard Levin

       Almost all of us want to be richer than we are, even if we are very rich indeed. To be sure, there are exceptions; saints, ascetics, those who travel light and will not add even the weight of a wallet, a few whose material ambitions are fully satisfied and who therefore truly want nothing further. But the rest of us want more than we have, and the specially thoughtful sometimes wonder whether there could ever come a time when we didn’t.
       The crucial question, though, leaving out of consideration the exempted categories, is: what are we willing to do to increase our wealth?

    Bernard Levin (1928-2004) British journalist, critic, broadcaster, satirist
    Essay (1989-03-23), “Do You Seriously Want to Be Swindled?” The Times, London

    "Homoploutic elite is composed of people who are simultaneously among the #richest #capitalists and best paid workers; that is resistant to shocks in labor and capital markets and thus able to maintain its position."

    These folks tend to be incrementalists when it comes to problems such as #climatechange which are urgent for the vast majority who are hurting/dying right now.

  25. We're not heading into a lethal #environmental #apocalypse because there's too many of us. We're all going to die because the #richest 10% of us cannot stop spewing #carbon into the #air as a #consequence of their own #entertainment and opulent #lifestyles.

  26. Even the #richest #Americans face shorter #lifespans than their #European counterparts, #study finds | A study by researchers at the Brown #University School of Public #Health found that Americans have poorer #survival rates than Europeans across all #wealth levels and detailed factors driving the disparity.

  27. Anyone may control investments, regardless of their level of knowledge or comprehension. However, to control our financial future, we must acquire the mindset of an inside investor that will enable us to attain an extraordinary return on investment.
