New Bureau of Economic Analysis data:

In 2023 US multinationals booked 42% of their foreign profits in the main tax havens

After 2 years of unprecedented decline, profit shifting seems to be rising again

Back to the lung-run trend that started in 1978?

Periodistas de Reuters denuncian que el medio encuadra las atrocidades de Israel en Gaza como parte de una "guerra" o "campaña militar", a pesar del consenso global entre expertas en torno a que Israel está cometiendo un genocidio.

Recomiendo leer aquí a Dani Rodrik sobre la falta de una resistencia global organizada ante los embates del trumpismo:

Where Is the Global Resistance to Trump?

Dani Rodrik thinks most countries have failed to capitalize on the crisis that Donald Trump has created.

REACTION: The #FFD4 showed the challenges remaining to meet the Sustainable Development Goals - but also the power of international cooperation.

👉 oxf.am/ffd-reaction

Seville showed that considerable challenges remain to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. But it also paved the way for governments to build more coalitions to tax the super-rich and finance care, and put equality, democracy and sustainability at the core of their efforts. Quote by Hernan Saenz, FFD Global Lead of Oxfam.

The UN Financing for Development conference hashtag#FFD4 has good news for global campaigns to hashtag#makerichpolluterspay: The beginnings of coalitions to tax the super-rich and to tax luxury air travel and use the proceeds for global climate action.

REACTION: Oxfam welcomes Brazil, Spain and South Africa’s new coalition to tax the super-rich, launched today at #FFD4.

Tackling extreme inequality is vital to fund development goals.

Now other countries must follow their lead.

👉 oxf.am/tax-rich-ffd

In a tense geopolitical environment, Spain, Brazil and South Africa have taken an important step in forging an alliance here at the UN conference in Sevilla to show political will for taxation of the super-rich. Now other countries must follow their lead and join forces.

Good news from #FFD4: 8 countries have committed to work together on higher taxes on luxury air travel, raising funds for global climate action.🔥

Now more countries need to join - and tax profits of fossil fuel corporations too.

As Trump and Republicans in Congress push billionaire tax handouts, we had to ask:

Are the billionaires doing okay??🤔

We crunched the numbers and found out—surprise, surprise—they're doing great!👇

Rebecca Riddell @rebeccariddell.bsky.social · May 20

NEW from @oxfamamerica.bsky.social:

🔹The wealth of the 10 richest US billionaires increased by $365 billion in the past year.

🔹A modest tax on their fortunes would cover 1 year of food assistance for 22.5 million ppl.

🔹It would take 10 typical workers 726,000 yrs to make that much.

La desigualdad en EUA se va a agravar porque los más ricos van a aprovechar mecanismos para capturar los recursos adicionales que el proteccionismo de Trump traerá.

Lejos de llevar a una reindustrialización de su país, lo más probable es que tenga serias consecuencias para las clases trabajadores estadounidenses: habrá una crisis inflacionaria y sus aliados oligarcas lo aprovecharán para enrriquecerse aún más.

Todos los países ricos del mundo han echado mano delos aranceles para consolidar sus industrias. Algunos países del sur global los usan -o han usado- para proteger a sus sectores industriales mientras se desarrollan. El uso que plantea Trump es distinto.
