“The most important message is this: The fact that the #super-rich are getting richer and richer—and thereby exerting excessive #influence on society—is not a #law
of nature. It is a #problem caused by #people.
And people can solve it.”

#Wealth disparity in #India is acute, with the #superrich distinct by their affluent behaviour. Aejaz Ahmad Wani (Krea University, India) analyses the #social and #economic cadence of unabashed display.

Good call! The arrogance of the #superRich who think they can wreck the natural world without permits or consequences.

Another great #Krugman article.

"Public discourse about #taxes and #inequality is, even more than discussion of other #economic topics, infested with #zombies — ideas that should be dead, having been proved wrong again and again, but that keep #shambling along, eating people’s brains. What sustains the zombies is, of course, #billionaire money, which keeps #false claims in circulation as long as they seem to justify low taxes on the #superrich.“

“More important than the #stinginess of the #superrich, however, is the fact that their #wealth has brought great #politicalpower, arguably more than the #robberbarons ever possessed — power that they abuse on an epic scale.”

RE
$15 million necklace looks clunky and tacky. And why would you want something like that? Not like you can go anywhere wearing it without a lot of security

I heard yesterday on one of the #bbcnews podcasts that one of the #superrich families in #india put on a $500 million USD wedding last year

You're right, what about security? One definitely needs full insurance because the most likely thief is going to be a staff member of your home or your brother.

„The 142m-long (465 ft) multi-deck luxury boat, named Nord, is linked to sanctioned Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov. It travelled from Dubai to Muscat, Oman, over the weekend - one of few private vessels to transit through the strait in recent months.“

Russian superyacht Nord sails through Strait of Hormuz despite blockade
