"While national incomes expanded, wages stagnated, work became more precarious and public services were cut. At the top, fortunes ballooned; at the bottom, families turned to food banks. Growth has become decoupled from shared prosperity." I am one of the 400 signatories of this op-ed arguing that poverty is manufactured. We propose restructuring our economies to un-manufacture it. Kudos to lead authors Olivier De Schutter, Joseph Stiglitz and others. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/10/economists-maths-growth-doomed-strategy-un-agencies-political-leaders #economics
