Summary, etc The article indirectly talks about the role played by all form of IFFs in impoverishing the poor and enriching the others in the process. The great myth that mass poverty just is, as if it were a natural part of some universal moral order,poverty is human-made. It is created – knowingly and with scientific efficiency – by a vastly sophisticated industry that includes private companies, think tanks, media outlets, government policies, and more. This ‘Poverty Creation Industry’ is about the least talked about feature of our global economy and yet it is perhaps the greatest market force in the modern world. The richest 0.001% of the world control 30% of the financial wealth; the wealthiest 0.1% about 81%. The global shadow economysystem comprises of a global mainstream economy where basic rules of fairness and transparency apply, and a global shadow economy where fairness is an irrelevant concept, transparency a state to be avoided at all costs and the social contract is ignored.
