| Sumario: | "The end of colonialism has made it possible to begin a process of equalization, but the world economy remains profoundly hierarchical and unequal in its workings. Our current economic organization, which is funded by the uncontrolled circulation of capital lacking either a social or environmental objective, often resembles a form of neocolonialism that benefits the wealthiest persons. This model of development is politically and ecologically untenable. Moving beyond it requires transforming the national welfare state into a federal welfare state open to the global South, along with a profound revision of the rules and treaties that currently govern globalization." -- Thomas Piketty (Piketty, 2022: 203)
