The Effects of Capitalism on Romania
That is the result of "freedom". 300 Romanians own 27% of the wealth, well the rest of the population lives in dire poverty. These are the facts our media rarely tell of. Yet some of you probably think this a success of capitalism, millions in poverty and 300 people with more money than they could ever spend.
Quote:
"Not one article from the mainstream press refers to the social differences, unemployment, inflation and other evils that arrived with capitalism.
]"On the Internet, however, you can see the other side of the coin: a group of 300 Romanians —the richest in the country— have accumulated more than $33 billion, which, according to the ‘Top 300’ section of the weekly magazine Capital, is equivalent to 27 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product.
"While those living below the poverty line can be counted in millions, that Eastern European nation has one citizen with a fortune calculated between $3.1 and $3.3 billion. His name is Dinu Patriciu, and he recently sold a part of the Rompetrol oil company to Kazakhstan’s Kazmunaigaz group for 2.7 billion euros." Nearly four billion dollars.
"Dinu dethroned (…) Losif Constantin Dragan, who dropped to seventh place with a fortune of between US $1.5 and $1.6 billion, according to the publication.
"Gigi Becali, owner of the Steaua Soccer Club, is now in second place with a fortune of at least $2.8 billion, accumulated primarily in the real estate sector.
"Former tennis player and businessman Ion Tiriac, the second richest Romanian in 2006, with interests in banking, insurance and automobiles, is now third with a fortune of $2.2 – 2.4 billion."
Thus reports Elson, in detailed fashion, in this section of Granma.
Let us not forget that Romania was a socialist country with a fairly well developed oil and petrochemical industry, blessed with fertile soil and a climate favorable to the production of protein and calorie-rich foods, to name but a few sectors.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
