The majority of the cogs of this inequality machine , between North and South as in the grounds of the developed countries themselves can still be removed. Too often , the argument of fatality is nourished by censoring of information on alternatives .It is by this method that the international financial institutions and media’s ( whose owners are often the beneficiaries of globalisation) have kept quiet about the proposition of the American economist James Tobin , Nobel prize for economics, to tax speculative transactions on the money markets . Even when the tax is fixed at the particularly low rate of 0,05%, the Tobin Tax would generate almost 100 billion dollars per year. Collected, for the majority by the industrialised countries where the major financial centres are situated , this sum could be given to international organisations for actions of solidarity , for the promotion of education and public health in poor countries, to ensure food supply and sustainable development. The implementation of such a programme would put sand in the wheels of speculation. It would feed the logic of resistance , reopen a space for manoeuvre for citizens and the state and, overall, would signify that politics was gaining the upper hand. |

The
total liberty of capital movement, fiscal paradises and
the explosion of speculative transactions has pushed
nations into a race in favour of the major investors
which is lost in advance. More than 100 billion dollars
come and go each day on the foreign exchange markets in
search of immediate profit and without the slightest
connection with the production and commerce of goods and
services. Such an evolution has as a consequence the
continual growth of capital revenue as opposed to that
of labour, the generalisation of precarious working
conditions and the growth of poverty . ATTAC proposes to
participate and co-operate, to debate together, produce
and distribute information and to act together.

Today, under the cover of security, employees are invited to swap their pension systems for the pension funds mechanism which will lead them to abandon their own companies to the sole imperatives of immediate profit and to aggravate working conditions, to extend the zone of influence of the financial sphere and to persuade citizens of the obsolescence of international solidarity between peoples and generations.
