While income differentials have widened, the tax burden has shifted to employees and consumers, further reducing the purchasing power of the people. Throughout the world, "indecent" precarious and informal employment is increasing. In many countries, open capital markets overly constrain governments' ability to pursue an expansionary fiscal policy, as any increase in inflation would trigger capital outflows and ultimately risk a currency crisis.
