A Wall Street cartel has quietly seized control of the American economy, and they are forcing governments and businesses to bow down to their political agenda -- using your money to do it. Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn't even theirs.

A century and a half later, all the evidence shows that capitalism has lifted millions and millions from hunger and poverty. Today's story about global capitalism, shared by right-wing and left-wing populists, but also by large sections...

Estos son los hombres que han robado al mundo entero Hace tiempo, si un funcionario robaba, podía comprarse un coche o construirse una casa nueva, pero eso era todo. Si continuaba robando, el dinero se acumulaba hasta que no quedaba espacio donde ocultarlo o se lo comían los ratones. Pero, entonces, a un reducido grupo de banqueros londinenses se le ocurrió una gran idea: los paraísos fiscales, lugares imaginarios donde el dinero podía moverse...
