It’s the whole western world. Wealthy people amassed too much power and now protect their wealth against the interest of the many.

That’s not limited to the west. Corruption and nepotism may be harder to detect in some non-western countries with authoritarian regimes, opaque (or non-existent) public data and their crackdown on free speech, but it’s nevertheless a global phenomenon. If you published an article like that about a government rep in a dictatorship, you quickly ended up in jail or got killed.
