RANT: Pandemic Has Made The Rich Even Richer (Trigger Warning)
According to Oxfam, the worlds 10 richest peoples’ wealth has more than doubled during the pandemic. Of course, Oxfam are striving for wealth equality in the world but Rob isn’t quite sure they understand the financial systems we are living under and in this episode, talks about why that is and the other side to the story.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Rob is a champion of small business, entrepreneurship and true capitalism. He recognises that he doesn’t agree with socialism or communism. These things considered, he knows that he is going to have quite a different stance to someone like Oxfam.
- Instead of constantly criticising the rich, we should be looking at what it is they are doing so successfully. How can we learn from them and improve all of our own lives.
- The companies that have done well during the pandemic are all offering a service that people either need or want. They are all tech savvy, scalable and useful.
- The 10 richest people haven’t caused the pandemic poverty, the pandemic has. Mostly it has been exacerbated by government policies and the market.
- Decentralisation is happening in media, in social media, in data, in access, in internet, in metaverse, in currencies, it’s an anti-globalisation movement which individuals can get involved in. It’s never been easier to create your own wealth and have your voice heard.
- The complex governmental and tax systems mean that a large chunk of everyone’s money gets wasted but this doesn’t get nearly enough attention. It’s something people should be talking about rather than just asking for more tax from the rich.
