The ceiling at which democracy has stuck is enormous economic inequality in a context where money grants much more influence than vote.

If 62 people have the same wealth as half the world’s population*, this implies that 62 people have the same power as 4 billion people.

As long as money remains the prime source of political power, just a handful of people will decide whether democratic institutions go forward or backward. It is up to them to decide whether to reduce their power or increase it. What do you think they will choose?

If we seek a more democratic world, we must also transcend the current economic order.

*OXFAM Report 2016, “An Economy for the 1%”

El tope en el que se ha atorado la democracia es una enorme desigualdad económica en un contexto en que el dinero otorga mucha más influencia que el voto. 

Si 62 personas poseen la misma riqueza que la mitad de la población mundial*, esto implica que 62 personas tienen el mismo poder que 4 mil millones de personas. 

Mientras el dinero sea la principal fuente de poder, un puñado de personas podrá decidir si las instituciones democráticas avanzan o retroceden. En ellos está decidir si reducen su propio poder o lo aumentan. ¿Qué creen que van a elegir? 

Si buscamos un mundo más democrático tenemos que trascender también el orden económico vigente.
