Finis les costumes rayés et les braquages. La délinquance en col blanc minimise les risques, mutualise les pertes et maximise les profits. La forme la plus moderne et la plus rémunératrice de truanderie.

Western banks ’reaping billions from Colombian cocaine trade’

The vast profits made from drug production and trafficking are overwhelmingly reaped in rich “consuming” countries – principally across Europe and in the US – rather than war-torn “producing” nations such as Colombia and Mexico, new research has revealed.

Americans have been watching protests against oppressive regimes that concentrate massive wealth in the hands of an elite few. Yet in our own democracy, 1 percent of the people take nearly a quarter of the nation’s income—an inequality even the wealthy will come to regret.
l’article de Stiglitz est bien plus interessant, d’ailleurs ...
