“Supranational powers, and some multinational companies, are the product of corrupt public-private elites who have no other purpose than to increase their capital. Globalization has failed in its mission of bringing prosperity to the people. Their outcomes show the concentration of wealth in the richest countries and in the elites, while the working class is relegated and forced to migrate to survive.”
