• Summary:"The consensus among politicians, citizens, and even executives themselves - on both sides of the political spectrum and throughout the world - is that business just isn't working for ordinary people. The 2007 financial crisis cost 9 million Americans their jobs and 10 million their homes.1 Even though the economy has recovered since then, the gains have largely gone to bosses and shareholders, while ordinary incomes have stagnated. In 2018, just 26 tycoons owned the same wealth as the 3.8 billion poorest citizens in the world.2 Corporations impact not only people's livelihoods, but also their lives. In a single year, 14 Chinese workers were allegedly driven to suicide by unbearably harsh working practices at the Foxconn City industrial park, where they made electronics for giant US corporations.
