New Oxfam International investigation exposes billions of $$ in funds being pumped into for-profit hospitals doing more harm than good: oxf.am/health.

As big corporations and rich investors benefit, patients are left without or bankrupted.🧵

Great to see this attention on the persistence of poverty in the richest country in the world—and the role of wages, unions, housing, & deregulation. But I question the implication that our social safety net is fine—Poverty is very much a political choice: nytimes.com/2023/03/09/mag…

🧵Re the appointment of former Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga to lead the World Bank.

One topic that should be getting more attention is how this could turbocharge the use of public $$$ to 'de-risk' the private sector & undertake —despite a troubling track record. 1/6

As opens, critical new Oxfam International inequality report exposes the injustice baked into our legal & economic world order. For the 1st time in 25 years, extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously.

A huge loss. Martin Ravallion was exceptional in many ways, including his willingness to engage seriously with those of who understand poverty as a human rights issue. Our work was better because of it. Condolences to his family & community.
