This Oxfam report, "Takers, Not Makers," examines the enduring legacy of colonialism and its contribution to extreme global inequality. It highlights how historical injustices, including slavery and land dispossession, continue to fuel the vast wealth of billionaires while billions remain in poverty.

The report details the mechanisms perpetuating this inequality, such as unequal global institutions, exploitative trade practices, and the concentration of financial power in the Global North.

Finally, it proposes solutions focusing on drastically reducing inequality, addressing historical injustices through reparations, and reforming global governance to empower Global South nations.
