Interesting that the article talks about wealth but not income. After all, today's income is tomorrow's wealth. If control over your wealth is a "basic human right", then shouldn't control over your income and cash flow also be a"basic human right" for all the exact same reasons given? And if control over your income is a basic human right, and nations like US and Canada have tax rates approaching 40% on high earners, does that mean they are violating basic human rights? At what tax rates do we go from economic-policy to human-rights-violations?

I agree with the other comments here. The whole point of human rights is to enshrine the things that we absolutely need for our physical and psychological needs. Water, air, housing, safety, education. To claim that taxation, inflation and demonetization are a violation of human rights, devalues the term itself.
