Oligarchy
Update: 2024-03-27
Description
This episode is about what, in my view, is the central issue of our time—and that is the enormous concentration of wealth in the hands of a few billionaires, and the fact that every day we are sliding further away from democracy into an oligarchic form of government. We talk about how these billionaires are able to stash much of their wealth in tax havens and how they exert enormous influence over our political system.

It seems to me that the way people view the society they live in is affected by these things you speak of. For example, some society's view how old people are treated here are treated. I have seen someone originally from another country aghast that some poor old woman was late one month on her rent and was kicked out. Since they had a guaranteed minimum income, it was totally foreign to them, that someone could be so cruel to someone who needed help over money.
