It threatens economic and social stability and accelerates planetary environmental destruction and global warming. While much has been written about Russian oligarchs, it has become clear that the West, particularly the U.S., has a similar and growing oligarchy problem. Thom Hartmann writes how ” The American Oligarchs Have Arrived to Destroy U.S. Democracy.” George Monbiot describes the UK’s oligarchy and how they “seek the destruction of oversight”, which has led to “UK bodies such as the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive” to have been “comprehensively gutted.”
