With 10 to 15 percent of the world’s financial wealth being invested offshore, and therefore beyond the reach of national taxation systems, the redistributive nature of the state-corporation relationship is destined to end.

Growing inequality is in fact becoming an outright expulsion from livelihoods.

The middle classes – existing within the framework of a structured welfare state – are destined for extinction.
