Halonen joins ex-leaders in call for global economic reform

Former Finnish President Tarja Halonen has joined 39 other former heads of state in a public letter urging world leaders to confront rising inequality and create a more equitable global order. The letter, signed by former leaders from all continents, includes the names of Finland’s former Prime Ministers Sanna Marin and Mari Kiviniemi. It warns that while nearly half the world’s population lives in poverty, the first trillionaires may soon emerge.
