Summary
Riccardo Stagliano: Gigacapitalists
"There were and always will be rich people. But if they were megacapitalists of the past, these are today's gigacapitalists. For them, the pandemic that many did not survive was a gift from God. Jeff Bezos added eighty billion dollars to his already considerable wealth. Elon Musk overtook him for a moment as the richest man in the world. A virtual nation of almost three billion users founded by Mark Zuckerberg, that real, it would be the most populous in the world. Bill Gates is not just about the amount of money. It's about the fact that this amount gives individuals the power that once belonged to the sovereign states. How to stop the trajectory of this handful of plutocrats who aspire not only to what we think, but also to what we are? Answer: with fair taxes, with more rights for exploited workers collective consciousness.
"They have a hawk's eye for connecting all possible markets into a supernatural business-conglomerate, but they are as blind as kittens in front of something that is so obvious right in front of their noses: whoever has more, must give more. Dot." On these pages, I will try to sketch the identikit of the absolute champions of this new breed of ultra-rich. Not out of class envy - I'm quite happy with the money I have and see nothing wrong with the fact that there are people who have much more - but because it seems to me that the wealth of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and their ilk is not compatible with democracy. In the sense that these terrifying amounts of money inevitably translate into equally terrifying power. By which I also mean the power to intervene in the passing of laws that, for example, prescribe how much tax someone must pay (it is worth noting that all these gentlemen have at least two occupations: their work and tax avoidance). The motif that runs through the biographies of all of them, which is new, is that they are private individuals who are allowed what was once only allowed to states."
