Capitalism’s ultimate disruptor: Oxfam’s billionaire-shaming Winnie Byanyima

Loading player...
Spending a half hour with Oxfam’s executive director Winnie Byanyima was a definite Davos 2017 highlight. The feisty 58-year old Ugandan is a warrior. She goes into battle publicly and privately to promote the cause of the poor and was a huge draw this year after Oxfam’s latest research which claims 8 super-billionaires have the same wealth as half the world’s population.
