Big business has been hit hard REUTERSWhy we should not return to business as usualGlobally speaking, the Covid-19 pandemic has had an unequal impact. Then, the only justifiable explanation of this baffling differential impact is the existing precondition -- the unequal world – in which coronavirus has appeared. The cause and extent of this “shocking” global disparity will become clearer if we explore the ways global capitalism works today. We can take a lead from the egalitarian experiments that the pandemic has forced us to adopt. Instead of returning to business as usual and restoring everything to a pre-pandemic time, we must start making ground for a new society -- otherwise we will be awaiting another unequal pandemic.
