Paul Krugman:
“The number of U.S. billionaires rose 85 percent between 2010 and 2023, from 404 to 748. But billionaires’ share of political contributions rose by 1700 percent.
“In short, we are in the midst of an unprecedented power grab by America’s oligarchs. This power grab is arguably the most important fact about contemporary U.S. politics. In many ways MAGA is just a symptom.”https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/billionaires-gone-wild?r=ad0yf&utm_medium=ios
