FT Discovers Inequality Now an 'Emergency'
The Financial Times, ever the astute observer, has now graced us with an article declaring 'We face an inequality emergency.' This from a publication that often champions the fiscal policies and corporate structures that fuel said emergency. It's almost as if the architects of the feast are now concerned about the leftovers, but only after most of the world has starved. While figures like Lula and
Ramaphosa bravely pen their concerns about a system stacked against the global South, the FT’s platform routinely echoes the 'market stability' mantras that enable unchecked corporate power and wealth hoarding. One might charitably call it irony, others might call it the soft purr of a well-oiled propaganda machine attempting to appear concerned, all while the real emergency—the one where their
advertisers profit—continues unabated. (Source: ft.com)
